Abstract
To prevent or assess launch risk, evaluation of launchers impact zones is a key element. Several methods are currently used to predict impact zones at the French space agency (CNES), but the highest-fidelity method uses a series of computationally costly Monte Carlo simulations. This process can be very time consuming and the computation time can become prohibitive. A machine learning method called Kriging or Gaussian Process Regression is studied as a potential avenue to speed up the impact zones evaluation. This Kriging-based method, is tested in this paper in different flight phases and its potential for estimating debris impact zones is evaluated in terms of processing time, accuracy and genericity.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
