Inrecognition of his many years of achievement in the field ofastronautics, Prof. Wang Zhaokui was awarded the correspondingmember of International Academy of Astronautics (IAA).
FangZhengqing made a presentation entitled “Multi-Target ContinuousCoverage Constellation Using Low-Thrust Reconfiguration Strategy”.This study is based on his latest research on constellation designand configuration control. He also introduced the research “Modellingof Relative Motion Constraint for Mega Constellations under MinimumCoverage Multiplicity Requirement”. This study about constraintfor mega constellations under minimum coverage multiplicityrequirement is based on work of DSSL alumni Xu Yun.

GuangweiWen presented the latest techniques to improve the accuracy ofdetecting the Earth’s atmospheric density. The main objective is toenhance the drag coefficient accuracy for the spherical Q-Satsatellite, which was developed and launched by our DSSL lab. Thetitle of the presentation is “Evidence of Spacecraft DragCoefficient Variation by Q-Sat Precise Orbit Determination Data andNumerical Simulation.”
