SpaceDev's Trailblazer microsatellite was selected to fly on a Falcon booster in the first Operationally Responsive Space (ORS) ldquoJumpstartrdquo mission, intended to demonstrate rapid integration, test, and launch of a spacecraft. ldquoJumpstartrdquo was a multi-pronged effort to fly responsive payloads on the SpaceX Falcon 1 Flight 003 mission, which launched in August 2008 from Kwajalein Atoll...
The SpaceDev MMB-100 spacecraft platform is a single-string 100-kg class microsat that is suitable for experiments, flight demonstrations, and highly-responsive missions. It is designed specifically for 1-2 year LEO missions. It has flexible launch options, including the ESPA ring and the SpaceX Falcon launch vehicle. The MMB-100 makes extensive use of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) parts and software,...
Determining optimum maneuvering strategies for multiple satellite inspection is a difficult combinatorial optimization problem that is related to the classical traveling salesman problem (TSP). The classical TSP and its variants cannot be solved to optimality in polynomial time due to the vastness of the solution space. Global search techniques that use a stochastic engine to explore diverse regions...
