Presentation Title: Relative Navigation of LEO Satellites in Formation Using Probabilistic Adaptive EKF
Relative Navigation of LEO Satellites in Formation Using Probabilistic Adaptive EKF
In this study, a new approach for autonomous relative navigation for two low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite formations based on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) measurements is presented. The method utilizes nonlinear GNSS data and Keplerian orbit parameters to estimate the states of both the primary and slave satellites using the proposed Probabilistic Adaptive Extended Kalman Filters (pAEKFs). Furthermore, this approach integrates the state vectors generated by pAEKFs using the Hill-Clohessy-Wiltshire (HCW) relative motion model to improve the accuracy of the relative state estimation between the satellites. A traditional Kalman filter without the adaptation procedure is proposed to estimate the parameters of the Hill-Clohessy-Wiltshire relative motion model. This strategy aims to improve the robustness and accuracy of the satellite formation control in LEO operations.
Prof.Dr. Chingiz Hajiyev, graduated from Moscow Aviation Institute, Moscow, Russia, with honors in 1981. He received his Ph.D. and DSc (Eng) degrees in Process Control in 1987 and 1993, respectively.
From 1987 to 1994 he worked as a Scientific Worker, Senior Scientific Worker, Chief of the Information-Measurement Systems Dept. at the ASPA “Neftgazavtomat”.

Presentation Title: Global and Local Environmental Priorities for New Aircraft Designs
Global and Local Environmental Priorities for New Aircraft Designs
EU EFACA (Environmentally Friendly Aviation for all Classes of Aircraft) project considers conceptual designing of two new types of aircraft – 80-seat regional jet with hydrogen-powered hybrid electric propulsion system (HEP) and 150-seat short-medium range jet with liquid hydrogen (LH2) fueling of the engines. For both types the Top-Level Aircraft Requirements (TLAR) are defined so as their conceptual aircraft layout, main dimensions and flight masses, schemes of power supply during the flight. Analysis of these baseline aircraft proved the reference aircraft for both of them: ATR72-600 for the HEP aircraft and Airbus-320neo for the LH2-fueled aircraft. The principles of aircraft fuel burn, emission, noise (with further impact assessment on environment) analysis and assessment of the baseline aircraft in comparison with reference aircraft in the EFACA project are formulated for three levels of their evaluation – aircraft, airport and fleet scenarios of current and future air traffic in the European perspective. For these purposes the VALDES Space was designed and developed further with detailed analysis of the aircraft design and flight performances influence on environmental impact assessment.
Between the 1978-2022 was employed in National Aviation University, Kyiv, Ukraine on the positions of Researcher, Leading Researcher, Professor, Head of the Chair, Director of the Institute, Vice Rector. From the April 2022 is employed in the Łukasiewicz Research Network – Institute of Aviation in Warsaw, Poland, on a position of the Area Research Leader – Professor. Degree of the Dr.Sc. was obtained in 1998 by the defending the thesis “Development of Models and Methods of Information Provision for Environment Protection from Civil Aviation Impact”. The title of Professor was obtained in 2004 by decision of the Academic Council of the National Aviation University. ICAO CAEP (Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection) member between 2010-2020 by nomination from Ukrainian CAA, currently a member of the MDG, WG2 and ISG groups of the CAEP. ECAC AIRMOD (Aircraft Noise Modelling Task Group) and EAEG (European Aviation and Environment Group) member from 2010. SARES member from 2015 and a member of the management board from 2023
