The electric solar wind sail, or E-sail, is a novel deep space propulsion concept which has not been demonstrated in space yet. While the solar wind is the authentic operational environment of the electric sail, its fundamentals can be demonstrated in th...

Analytical target cascading (ATC) is a method for coordinating hierarchical system design optimization with a decomposition-based framework. Since a launch vehicle (LV) is usually powered by two or more stages of rocket motors, the overall design of the ...

The method of air-launching a rocket using a launcher suspended from a balloon, referred to as a rockoon, can improve the flight performance of small rockets. However, there have been safety issues and flight trajectory errors due to uncertainty with res...
