Linear covariance analysis can serve as a viable technique in determining both navigation errors and trajectory dispersions for spacecraft rendezvous analysis and design. This work addresses issues that arise when multiple events are triggered on state conditions in linear covariance analysis. To demonstrate the validity of the proposed solutions, performance metrics such as trajectory dispersions, navigation errors, delta-v dispersions, and event time dispersions are carefully analyzed and confirmed with Monte Carlo simulation results.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
