Nanosatellite Cluster Launch Collision Analysis

摘要: AbstractNanospacecraft are usually launched in clusters from a single launch, which they hosted as secondary payloads. The nanospacecraft, e.g., CubeSats, released simultaneously small groups one container, to simplify the launcher interface manufacturing and launch operations. release sequence must be designed minimize risk of collisions among nanospacecraft themselves. Considering increasing number micro- nanosatellites recent space activity, collision analysis systems configuration optimization interest. This paper describes probability for nanosatellite cluster deployment, performed by series Monte Carlo simulations, comparing results obtained with different mechanisms, procedures, orbital dynamics modeling assumptions. first orbits after depends mostly on in-orbit injection initial conditions, such relative position ...
