The Cassini spacecraft represented a landmark in deep-space exploration, combining advanced attitude control and navigation systems to achieve its ambitious mission objectives in the Saturnian system.

Electrostatic control utilises charge manipulation to influence the dynamics of spacecraft without relying on traditional propellant-based systems. This approach enables precise manoeuvring and ...

the figure illustrates how the system works together to maintain spacecraft attitude control by using a combination of intermittent measurements, virtual prediction, and fault compensation, making it ...

In recent years, with the significant increase in space launch activities, the number of deorbit spacecraft has sharply risen, posing a serious impact on both active orbiting spacecraft and future ...

A research team[a], led by Professor Saburo Matunaga of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, School of Engineering, Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech), developed a 50 kg class technology ...

Cargo spacecraft is robotic spacecraft designed to support space station operation by transporting food, propellant and other supplies. Tianzhou cargo spacecraft (The abbreviation is TZ) is a Chinese ...
