The typical practice for these missions is to deploy the CubeSat on a geosynchronous transfer orbit (GTO) which results in a perigee altitude that is low enough that atmospheric drag will cause the apogee altitude to decay and eventual reentry. However, for GTOs, demonstrating compliance with limits on orbital lifetime in orbital debris mitigation guidelines is not straightforward due to a solar resonance phenomenon that exists which can cause high variability of the orbital lifetime of the satellite. This paper presents a procedure for determining the likelihood that orbital lifetime of a rideshare CubeSat on a resonant GTO will have an orbital lifetime below a 25-year and 5-year limit. The procedure uses a Monte Carlo analysis in which uncertain parameters are randomly varied, including the launch time/initial RAAN and the drag coefficient. The Aerospace precision propagation tool TRACE is used with a high-fidelity force model to enable precision integration through the atmosphere at perigee. It is shown in the study that there is a systematic variation in likelihood of staying below a 25- and 5-year orbital lifetime limit and that drag enhancement devices may be needed to meet the 5-year limit for CubeSat rideshares. The study also presents findings on a solar radiation pressure induced resonance that was observed for high area-to-mass ratios which suggests that there can be a diminishing return when increasing the area of a drag enhancement device to quicken deorbit.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37283,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Space Safety Engineering","volume":"11 3","pages":"Pages 403-410"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142571584","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}

A condition of this disposal option is that reentry casualty risk be limited. An analysis was performed to assess reentry casualty risk for a generic Tundra spacecraft and typical upper stages on Tundra disposal orbits. From propagation sweeps accounting for eccentricity growth of Tundra disposal orbits, several Tundra disposal orbit cases were selected for reentry analysis. A reentry risk analysis for these cases assuming reentry from near-circular orbits was performed. Results show that predicted casualty risk for the generic Tundra spacecraft and typical upper stages well exceed allowable risk limits in the ODMSP. An analysis of reentry from the selected Tundra disposal orbits accounting for the high eccentricity due to eccentricity growth just before reentry was then performed. Results show that the distribution of reentry points on the Earth can be concentrated over ocean in the southern hemisphere where there is less human population.

It is therefore crucial to monitor the orbit of space resident objects to assess in advance the threat of risky conjunctions. Within this framework, the 18th Space Defense Squadron (SDS) is consistently updating the orbit of thousands of tracked objects by processing observations of the U.S. Space Surveillance Network (SSN). The determined orbital data is continuously maintained in the Special Perturbation (SP) catalogue and used by the 19th SDS to issue close approach warnings to satellite operators around the globe in the form of Conjunction Data Messages (CDM). The Flight Dynamics (FD) group of the German Space Operation Centre (GSOC) receives on regular basis a subset of the SP catalogue data along with CDMs associated to the fleet of its controlled satellites. The SP ephemerides are in fact provided without any covariance information preventing any computation of the Probability of Collision (Pc). In GSOC FD we are implementing a service to link a series of synthetic orbital error covariance matrices to a given SP ephemeris by statistically analyzing historical CDMs of past events. More than 30 GB of past conjunction data are processed to extract state vector, covariance matrix and object size parameter of already encountered secondary objects. The orbital errors of these last are subsequently categorized and divided into orbital classes to decouple the high correlation the covariance has with respect to solar flux, object dimension, altitude of perigee, eccentricity and orbit inclination. The classification aims at collecting similar CDMs regarding the aforementioned dependencies, and approximates the predicted 1-sigma position errors in the orbital frame by optimal curve-fitting techniques. By evaluation of the curve fitting coefficients of a requested orbit class a covariance matrix can be generated for any prediction time in upcoming CDM refinements and other analyses. The work discusses the limiting cases of the classification approach, bringing possible solutions to the scenario of empty classes. An in-depth characterization of the parameters that affect the orbital errors is in fact performed to individualize the neighboring class that provides the closest and most meaningful covariance timeline. Successively, the effect of using synthetic covariance in a conjunction risk assessment is also explored, adapting the problem on real operations. Lastly, the entire data processing pipeline and how the described service fits into the GSOC Flight Dynamics System (FDS) framework is described.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37283,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Space Safety Engineering","volume":"11 3","pages":"Pages 454-461"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142571561","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 need to perform a debris avoidance maneuver for collision avoidance will depend on the fidelity of the propagated debris trajectory. A larger uncertainty (magnitude as a function of time) will require a larger maneuver and a higher likelihood of the need to perform this maneuver. This study assesses debris avoidance maneuvers and corresponding corrective actions to recover the desired mission trajectory as a way to evaluate the desired capability of tracking of objects in lunar and cislunar orbit. The baseline Earth-to-Moon trajectory was that of the Artemis I mission. Typical conjunction assessments were postulated at 100,000 km from Earth's center (approximately a quarter of the way to the moon) and at lunar orbit insertion (LOI). For these two cases, the required debris avoidance maneuver (and hence impact to the mission) is tied to the uncertainty in orbital debris tracking.

Multi-color photometry and the resultant color indices offer the potential to rapidly discriminate between debris and intact space objects such as rocket bodies and satellites. These multi-color techniques can also identify anomalous members of objects in certain groups and cue higher fidelity data collections and studies. However, multi-color photometry can be difficult to interpret, as the effects of phase and rotation become conflated with the more fundamental material properties of the satellite. Additionally, the broad astronomical photometric bands may not identify key spectral features that can be diagnostic for SDA applications. With our recent observational campaign we have been able to collect 5-color photometry in the near-IR with WFCAM as well as overlapping near-IR spectra with the UKIRT 1–5 μm Imager-Spectrometer (UIST). On a small set of objects, we also have mid-IR spectrophotometry with the Mid-IR esCHELLE (Michelle) imaging spectrograph.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Our previous measurements with the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) Wide Field Camera (WFCAM) characterized a wide range of space objects with the goal of developing techniques to rapidly discriminate between different classes of objects and to identify anomalous members of these groups.
