The Logistics of Space Exploration

An overview of research being conducted by Koki Ho, Associate Professor, Aerospace Engineering​ as part of the SCL Interdisciplinary Research Center seminar series.
In this talk, Dr. Ho discussed the recent progress in logistics-inspired modeling and optimization for space mission design along with examples of the applications of mathematical optimization to spacecraft and mission design. Methods to evaluate and analyze the design and operational strategies for in-space infrastructure systems in the contexts of human/robotic space exploration, on-orbit servicing, and satellite constellation missions were also covered.
