Title of thesis: ROBOTIC SIMULATION OF FLEXIBLE-BODY SPACECRAFT DYNAMICS IN A SATELLITE SERVICING TESTBED Justin Cory Brannan Master of Science, 2014 Thesis directed by: Dr. Craig Carignan Department of Aerospace Engineering Satellite failures that once led to end-of-life may eventually be addressed using robotic servicing platforms. The ability to model and simulate the physical interaction be...

This paper studies the scheduling of servicing multiple satellites in a circular orbit. Specifically, one servicing spacecraft (SSc) is considered to be initially on the circular orbit of the satellites to be serviced. The SSc then rendezvous with each satellite of the constellation and services it until all satellites are visited. The total time is assumed to be given. A minimum-∆V two-impulse...

The Capacitated Arc Routing Problem with Refill Points (CARP-RP) is a new variant of the Capacitated Arc Routing Problem (CARP). In a CARP situation, the vehicle servicing arcs has a finite capacity, and hence has to return to the depot or a secondary station to be refilled (or emptied). In contrast, in the CARP-RP, the vehicle servicing arcs must be refilled on the spot by using a second vehic...
