Toward an era of x-ray astronomy, next-generation x-ray optics are indispensable. To meet a demand for telescopes lighter than the foil optics but with a better angular resolution <1 arcmin, we are developing micropore x-ray optics based on microm...

Low-thrust propulsion is a key technology for space exploration, and much work in astrodynamics has focused on the mathematical modeling and the optimization of low-thrust trajectories. Typically, a nominal trajectory is designed in a deterministi...
Earth observation satellites can improve the flexibility of observation sites by having “maneuverability,” and low-thrust obtained by ion thruster will be a promising method for orbital change for micro-satellites. Designing low-thrust...
