This paper proposes an on-orbit servicing logistics optimization framework capable of performing the short-term operational scheduling and long-term strategic planning sustainable infrastructures that involve high-thrust, low-thrust, and/or multimodal servicers supported by orbital depots. The proposed generalizes state-of-the-art method incorporating user-defined trajectory models optimizing o...

For years, insurance distribution remained largely unchanged – relying primarily on independently affiliated agents and brokers. The process of selling to and servicing insurance customers was for the most part based on “high-touch” customer encounters. These interactions consumed a lot of time and energy – requiring agents to educate and assist customers with their research and subsequent purc...

The importance of space robots in satellite servicing, in EVA assistance, in removing orbital debris and in space exploration is growing driven by space commercialization and exploration efforts. A successful deployment of such robots requires analytical and experimental task validation. With this aim, we present the main characteristics of the software and hardware space robot simulator develo...

A definition of the “attractive” average walking distance in downtown using “gravity centre” criterion to determine location vehicle parking facility has been suggested. The application is based on demanded quantity spaces near trip destination. calculations have shown possibility reducing when covering vast majority users, which will contribute a positive decision by potential users use sugges...

Space robots play a significant role in on‐orbit servicing (OOS) missions, such as inspecting, capturing, refueling, and repairing satellites, assembling maintaining large space infrastructure, removing orbital debris. Over the past four decades, many robot engineering applications technology verifications for OOS have been accomplished. This article comprehensively reviews advances by represen...
