Abstract

The Conjugate Unscented Transform allows for an easy calculation of reachability sets with a minimal number of full model propagations. The computation time savings that comes with this method encourages implementation of reachability sets in more complex problems. Spacecraft maneuver planning for detection avoidance is unique in that all objectives may not be met by moving some minimum distance from the nominal orbit. Combining ground-track manipulation and propellant-use in reachability-based multi-objective optimization gives planners a unique perspective when designing detection avoidance maneuvers. Taking into account multiple maneuvers provides an advantageous opportunity to optimize a complete maneuver strategy for detection avoidance.
