Grant: Canada Research Chairs
Toronto Metropolitan University
$100,000.00
Spacecraft Dynamics and Control
FY 2024-25
Summary
Canada is an active participant in international space exploration missions. Guided by the 2020 NASA Technology Taxonomy [1] and the International Space Exploration Coordination Group¿s (to which Canada belongs) Global Exploration Roadmap [2] objectives to identify key technologies and long-term planning for space exploration by the 2020 NASA Technology Taxonomy [1] and the International Space Exploration Coordination Group¿s (of which Canada is a member) Global Exploration Roadmap [2], Dr. de Ruiter will develop new technologies for space exploration: (1) dynamics modeling, guidance, navigation and control to enable new types of asteroid exploration; (2) methods for low-thrust spacecraft trajectory design, incorporating dynamic model and thruster uncertainties; and (3) methods for autonomous robotic on-orbit inspection, servicing and assembly of large space structures.
