• Removing orbital debris with lasers (2011, background): “As recently as four years ago (Liou and Johnson 2006), it was considered that “The use of ground based lasers to perturb the orbits of the satellites is not now practical because of the considerable mass of the satellites and the consequent need to deposit extremely high amounts of energy on the…”
• Nonlinear Propagation of Orbit Uncertainty Using Non-Intrusive Polynomial Chaos (2013, methodology): “The sun-synchronous satellite orbits at an initial altitude of approximately 794 km, and allows for profiling the PCE propagation method in the region of largest space object density [51].”
