Computational Guidance Using Model Predictive Static Programming for Challenging Space Missions: An Introductory Tutorial with Example Scenarios IEEE Control Syst. (IF 5.7) Pub Date : 2024-03-26 Radhakant Padhi, Avijit Banerjee, S. Mathavaraj, Vutukuri Srianish
Several essential services, such as cellular phones, the Internet, television, navigation, weather prediction, and remote sensing, rely on satellites in low-Earth orbits, the technology for which is fairly mature by now. With the advent of the 21st century, space exploration has evolved to accomplish various complex and challenging missions, both within and beyond low-Earth orbits. Next-generation

Positive Attitude [From the Editor] IEEE Control Syst. (IF 5.7) Pub Date : 2024-03-26 Rodolphe Sepulchre
The monotonicity of a scalar function is equivalent to the positivity of its increments and to the convexity of its integral. I sometimes feel that this high-school mathematical statement alone underlines the entire algorithmic tractability of modern information engineering. And replacing “scalar function” with “system” defines a largely open research program in control.

A Quarter Century of Covariance Intersection: Correlations Still Unknown? [Lecture Notes] IEEE Control Syst. (IF 5.7) Pub Date : 2024-03-26 Robin Forsling, Benjamin Noack, Gustaf Hendeby
Over the past two and a half decades, covariance intersection (CI) has provided a means for robust estimation in scenarios where the uncertainty information is incomplete. Estimation in distributed and decentralized data fusion (DDF) settings is typically characterized by having nonzero cross-correlations between the estimates to be merged. Mean-square-error (MSE) optimal estimators, such as the Kalman
