Parallel version of special perturbations orbit propagator
NPS-MA-98-003.pdf (256.0Kb)Abstract
Parallelization can be achieved by either control or domain decomposition. The latter was tried for analytic and semianalytic propagators. Neal and Coffey discuss the domain decomposition for special perturbations. The control decomposition idea is inefficient for analytic propagators, because the computation time is too short. In this report we discuss a control decomposition approach to parallelize a numerical orbit propagator which may be more computationally intensive.

A formal approach to hazard decomposition in Software Fault Tree Analysis
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 1990);As digital control systems are used in life-critical applications, assessment of the safety of these control systems becomes increasingly important. One means of formally performing this assessment is through fault tree ... -
Application and expansion of the Modular Command & Control Evaluation Structure (MCES) as a framework for improving interoperability management.
(1987-06);This thesis introduces the Modular Command and Control Evaluation Structure (MCES) as a tool which the author recommends for command and control (C2) planners to use when addressing interoperability management problems. ... -
Combined integral and robust control of the segmented mirror telescope
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2009-12);Future space telescopes must maintain lower mass of the mirrors to keep launch cost down while increasing the size and performance of the space telescope. Although much work has been done in both adaptive optics and robust ...
