We are pleased to announce that it is the time of the call for Workshop on JAXA Astrodynamics and Flight Mechanics. Thanks to your support, this year we will celebrate the 31st workshop. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been difficult for us to work outside the office or go on business trips, and it has also been difficult for us to organize meetings. This year, as last year, we would like to hold the meeting online.

As space development becomes more sophisticated, the importance of the field of astrodynamics, which is based on applied mechanics but also includes navigation, guidance, and control, seems to be increasing. We believe that it is very meaningful for people involved in JAXA's projects to discuss various research issues with people from universities and research institutes, and to explore the application of theories. As active members of astrodynamics community, we would like to have an opportunity to spend time for pure research and technical discussion.Last year's conference was a great success, with 60 presentations and 150 registered participants. This year, too, our first priority is to secure enough time for presentations, and we plan to publish a satisfactory amount of post-printed papers, with 30 minutes per presentation including enough time for questions. In terms of content, we would like to avoid general discussions such as conceptualization and system description as much as possible, and focus on basic research and technology issues, even though they are simple. We also welcome presentations of incomplete or early-stage research and technology. We also expect the participation of graduate students and young engineers. The reprints will be published in English, and we hope that you will use them as an opportunity to prepare for submissions to future international conferences/journals. Please let us know in advance if you have any problems with the publication of your manuscript. The workshop will also accept presentations of previously published material. However, due to copyright issues, it is possible to request that your manuscript not be published on our conference repository. Astrodynamics does not require the transfer of copyright. We hope that international students will actively apply for this workshop.

With the retirement of Professor Junichiro Kawaguchi, who had been the coordinator of this workshop for many years until last year, the organizing members have been replaced by a new generation. We will continue to make every effort to contribute to the growth and success of the astrodynamics community. We look forward to your continued support and encouragement.

Outline of Symposium

The interest of this workshop lies in the astrodynamics as an applied physics, providing a good opportunity for discussing academic research and technical issues on space technology.
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to;

  1. Space robotics, manipulator, docking.
  2. Multibody dynamics including collision physics.
  3. Attitude control and orbital dynamics. Control and identification related to them.
  4. Dynamics on a spacecraft with flexible structure. Modeling and robust control of LSS (large space structure). Tether problem. Identification problem for space structure.
  5. Aerodynamics for space-plane. Dynamics on re-entry, aerocapture, aerobraking.
  6. Orbit design and optimization, mission analysis.
  7. Deep space navigation and orbit determination. Optical navigation. Encounter navigation, guidance.
  8. Ground simulator test bench and control experiment related to above topics.
  9. Probe, rover and ground support for lunar/planetary explorations. Robotics, image processing, AI, sensor, information processing, control, landing.
  10. GNC related to formation flight.
  11. Others

The working language is English for International Sessions.
The workshop consists of lectures by invited keynote speakers and contributed papers.
