Abstract
This work has been conducted in collaboration with the company D-Orbit, in particular, the Mission Analysis team. The main product D-Orbit offers is the In Orbit Now (ION), a satellite carrier with the aim of releasing CubeSats of clients into their operational orbits. The main strength of the ION carrier is that it has created an in-orbit transport service for CubeSats that did not yet exist, allowing companies to place their satellites in precise orbital slots that they could not reach before. The aim of the thesis is to design a new tool devoted to simplify and speed up the mission analysis process and, at the same time, ensure a higher level of confidence and precision.
The main aspect of the problem is to consider the need for a comprehensive dynamic the model that takes into account the limited propulsive capabilities of the thrusters and the environmental effects that the satellite will face during its mission
