The 4th issue of the Journal of the Astronautical Sciences AMOS Conference Special Collection is now complete and published showcasing selected papers from the 2021 AMOS Conference. Through the partnership between the American Astronautical Society’s (AAS) Space Surveillance Technical Committee (SSTC) and Maui Economic Development Board (MEDB), papers go through a peer review process to determine selection for publication in the Journal.
The Journal of the Astronautical Sciences is an archival publication devoted to the sciences and technology of astronautics. Articles are published which present significant new results, important insights, or state of the art surveys in all areas of astrodynamics, celestial mechanics, atmospheric flight mechanics, navigation and guidance, and space related sciences.
The AMOS 2021 Special Collection covers papers:
- Fragment Cloud Evolution in Medium Earth Orbit by Marielle Pellegrinon, Daniel Scheeres & Brett Streetman
- Intrinsic Fault Resistance for Nonlinear Filters with State-Dependent Probability of Detection by Gunner S. Fritsch & Kyle J. DeMars
- Semi-Empirical Astronomical Light Pollution Evaluation of Satellite Constellations by Doyle T. Hall
- Investigating the Risks of Debris-Generating ASAT Tests in the Presence of Megaconstellations by Sarah Thiele & Aaron C. Boley
- Space-Based Sensor Tasking Using Deep Reinforcement Learning by Peng Mun Siew, Daniel Jang, Thomas G. Roberts & Richard Linares
- Cislunar Orbit Determination Behavior: Processing Observations of Periodic Orbits with Gaussian Mixture Model Estimation Filters by C. Channing Chow II, Charles J. Wetterer, Jason Baldwin, Micah Dilley, Keric Hill, Paul Billings & James Frith
- Operators’ Requirements for SSA Services by Salvatore Alfano, Daniel L. Oltrogge & Lorenzo Arona
- Improving Orbital Uncertainty Realism Through Covariance Determination in GEO by Alejandro Cano, Alejandro Pastor, Sergio Fernández, Joaquín Míguez, Manuel Sanjurjo-Rivo & Diego Escobar
- Solar Flare Prediction with Recurrent Neural Networks by Jill Platts, Michael Reale, John Marsh & Christopher Urban
- Tasking and Estimation for Minimum-Time Space Object Search and Recovery by Samuel J. Fedeler, Marcus J. Holzinger & William W. Whitacre
Papers are invited based on a technical review for their novel contribution to the state-of-the art in Space Situational/Domain Awareness (SSA/SDA), high quality of scholarship, potential for innovation and leadership, and/or if the paper shows promise for a change of direction in the way that stakeholders in the SSA community could improve their understanding of the situation in space. The AAS Space Surveillance Technical Committee looks for detailed and comprehensive research that merits visibility by an international journal.
