Analytical Confidence Boundaries for Non-Gaussian Uncertainty in Perturbed Spacecraft Dynamics
Niccolò Michelotti, Ethan R. Burnett, Francesco Topputo
This work investigates nonlinear uncertainty propagation in perturbed astrodynamics, focusing on the rapid characterization of non-Gaussian distributions and the construction of three-dimensional "banana-shaped" confidence boundaries. To bridge the gap between computationally int…
