In the non-deterministic, large-scale navigation environment under the Mars exploration mission, there is a large space for action and many environmental states. Traditional reinforcement learning algorithms that can only obtain rewards at target poi...

Air Traffic Controllers’ (ATCos) mental workload is likely to remain the specific greatest functional limitation on the capacity of the Air Traffic Management (ATM) system. Developing computational models to monitor mental workload and task com...

This article proposes a photovoltaic power processor for high-voltage and high-power distribution bus, between 300 V and 900 V, to be used in future space platforms like large space stations or lunar bases. Solar arrays with voltages higher than 100...

Aerodynamic contour dimensional accuracy is very important for the stable and safe flight of aerospace vehicles. Nevertheless, due to the influence of various factors such as material properties, machining and manufacturing deviations, and assembly a...

To expand the application prospects of quadrotors in challenging scenes such as those with dense obstacles and narrow corridors, task-driven reconfigurable quadrotors are highly desirable. Aiming to address hazard missions, in this paper, translation...

This paper presents the design of a digital twin for a 6U CubeSat electrical power system, including the solar arrays, solar array regulators, battery, power distribution unit, and load subsystems. The digital twin is validated by comparing its real-...

This 2024 Special Issue of Aerospace, an open-access journal from MDPI, is entitled “Shock-Dominated Flow” and was guest-edited by Dr [...]

Power systems on the lunar surface require power lines of varying lengths and capacities to connect generation, storage, and load facilities. These lines must be designed to perform efficiently in the harsh lunar environment, considering factors such...

Recent advances in radar seeker technologies have considerably improved missile precision and efficacy during target interception. This is especially concerning in the arenas of protection and safety, where appropriate countermeasures against enemy m...

Aimed at addressing the strong nonlinearity and strong external disturbances that cause flight control issues in conventional guided projectiles, as well as the slow response and structural vibrations that often occur in sliding mode control systems,...
