Mathematical Analysis and Stability Analysis of Coupled Orbital–Attitude Dynamics for Autonomous Spacecraft under Perturbative Forces
Abstract: Autonomous spacecraft operating in Earth orbit are subjected to coupled translational and rotational dynamics influenced by gravitational and environmental perturbations. Accurate mathematical characterization of these interactions is essential for trajectory prediction, attitude stabilization, autonomous navigation, and mission reliability. This study develops a nonlinear mathematical framework for coupled orbital–attitude dynamics of an autonomous spacecraft under perturbative forces. The translational dynamics are formulated using the two-body gravitational model augmented by the second …

Autonomous 6G Physical Layer Architectures for Space-Air-Ground Integrated Networks
Abstract: The emergence of sixth generation (6G) wireless systems calls for a significant shift away from conventional deterministic communication models. As communication infrastructures evolve into Space- Air-Ground Integrated Networks (SAGIN), traditional physical layer (PHY) techniques struggle to operate effectively under the severe Doppler effects and long propagation delays associated with space environments. This paper examines the role of artificial intelligence embedded directly within the 6G transceiver architecture to enable ultra-reliable and …
