A sampled-data (self-)learning observer is developed to estimate both the spacecraft’s states and lumped disturbances, effectively mitigating the impact of faults. This observer acts as a virtual predictor, reconstructing states and actuator fault deviations using only intermittent measurement data, addressing the limitations imposed by sensor failures. The control scheme incorporates compensation based on the predictor’s estimates, ensuring robust attitude tracking despite the presence of faults. We provide the first proof of bounded stability for this learning observer utilizing intermittent information, expanding its applicability. Numerical simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of this innovative strategy, highlighting its potential for enhancing spacecraft autonomy and reliability in challenging operational scenarios.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":36309,"journal":{"name":"Aerospace Systems","volume":"8 3","pages":"659 - 671"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s42401-025-00341-5.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145057722","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is often combined with applying some machine learning algorithms to improve the model’s fidelity. However, the data-based approach lacks the physical characteristics of the aircraft flight performance models and is challenging to interpret and use in optimizing aircraft designs. This paper proposes a collaborative optimization process based on a physics-based aircraft multidisciplinary sizing tool and a data model built from flight data. First, an enhanced aircraft sizing tool is used to provide initial estimation of the aircraft design parameters based on the top-level requirements. Unknown parameters in the sizing model are determined using data-based approach which include both aircraft operational and flight parameters. Aircraft operational parameters include actual passenger weight, cargo weight, fuel weight, cruising Mach number, and other essential operational parameters. Aircraft flight parameters include information on aircraft, route, and weather etc., derived from QAR data and open-source flight databases. Aircraft design, operation, and flight parameters are coupled with an aircraft performance model, which can be used in a collaborative multi-parameter optimization framework to optimize aircraft design and operations for improved fuel performance.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":36309,"journal":{"name":"Aerospace Systems","volume":"8 1","pages":"83 - 103"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s42401-024-00338-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143581205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The goal is to develop a strong mathematical model for the satellite to find a suitable path for orbital movement. Due to the effects on the orbit, the orbit must be controlled. For this purpose, orbital control uses orbital maneuvers to move the satellite to the desired location. Some modern technology (intelligent modeling) was used to create a simulator to increase the mathematical accuracy of the model and control its orbit. The objective is to develop a comprehensive mathematical model of orbital motion. This includes the design of a control unit for satellite orbits and the application of optimization algorithms.

A computational investigation has been performed with different swirl combinations in three air jets inlet under non-combustion conditions. After validation from existing experimental results, parametric studies have been investigated with different expansion ratios, different swirl combinations, and different angular outlets. Using the realizable k–ε turbulence model and commercial software ANSYS FLUENT, results were obtained in the form of streamlines plots, axial velocity contours, and center line axial velocity. Following a comprehensive analysis of the computational output, it is found the mixing process in confinement depends on expansion ratios, swirl combinations, and angular outlets.

However, in reality, missing data often occurs due to target occlusion or sensor failures. Many deep learning models are designed for uniformly sampled complete data and cannot be directly applied to scenarios with missing values. Traditional data preprocessing methods, such as imputation and interpolation, introduce additional noise. To address these challenges, we propose an end-to-end model with <i>Learnable Embedding</i> and capture <i>Multidimensional Features</i> (LEMF). LEMF can directly handle real-world time series with missing values. We utilize the LE module to extract richer temporal information, compensating for the limitations of missing data. The MF module can extract features related to the relationships between variables. We leverage these hidden representations for intention recognition, which is the time series classification task. We thoroughly evaluate our model on a self-constructed intention dataset. Compared to baseline model, the LEMF model achieved an average of 10% higher accuracy at each missing ratio. Additionally, we validate the model’s generalization capabilities on two real-world datasets. Our model also shows optimal or suboptimal performance.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":36309,"journal":{"name":"Aerospace Systems","volume":"8 1","pages":"171 - 181"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143581056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
