Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) capability is a critical component of every aerospace vehicle and spacecraft system. Emerging applications in spacecraft attitude determination and control system, on-orbit proximity operations and planetary exploration, and aircraft flight control and navigation system are driving researchers to develop innovative GNC technologies. I am pleased to announce this special issue of Aerospace, and invite manuscripts that highlight recent advances in this field. The scope of this special issue will include:
- GNC system design
- Design and analysis of orbit/attitude determination and control systems.
- Spacecraft formation flying
- Spacecraft rendenzvous, proximity operations and docking
- Spacecraft control and navigation for moon, mars and asteroid exploration
- Spacecraft trajectory optimization
- Aircraft flight control and navigation
- GNSS/INS navigation
