Visual Navigation for Lunar Missions Using Sequential Triangulation Technique
Muratoğlu, Abdurrahim; Söken, Halil Ersin; Tekinalp, Ozan (2025-03-01)
A vision-aided autonomous navigation system for translunar missions based on celestial triangulation (Earth and Moon) is proposed. Line-of-Sight (LoS) vectors from the spacecraft to celestial bodies, retrieved using epheme...
A Robust Nonlinear MPC and Incremental Dynamic Inversion Control Framework for Quadrotors Under Rotor Failure
Elif, Cihangir Mehmetcik; Tekinalp, Ozan (2025-01-01)
Quadrotors are becoming more prevalent for inspection, delivery, and industrial tasks, but their underactuated design makes them susceptible to actuator faults. Faults can range from reduced rotor effectiveness to complete...
System Identification of E-VTOL Rotor in Vortex Ring State by Viscous Vortex Particle Method
Şenipek, Murat; Okçu, Ilgaz Doğa; Tekinalp, Ozan; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2023-09-07)
This paper presents a methodology that identifies a state-space rotor inflow model for a 1.5-m radius two bladed eVTOL rotor in descent. Main purpose of the work is to identify a state-space model for an isolated rotor for...
Development and Validation of a Fast Mid-Fidelity Comprehensive Analysis Tool for Generic E-VTOL Configurations
Şenipek, Murat; Güngör, Osman; Tekinalp, Ozan (2022-09-08)
Orbit Control of an Earth Orbiting Solar Sail Satellite
Polat, Halis Can; Tekinalp, Ozan (2022-09-01)
A concept for the utilization of solar sail satellite's propellant-free thrust capability at Low earth orbit (LEO) is proposed and its orbit control strategy is analyzed. Thrust vector control of the sail's normal directio...

Önen, Anıl Sami; Tekinalp, Ozan (2022-06-24)
BATCH ORBIT DETERMINATION COMPARISON FOR GEOSTATIONARY SATELLITES
KÖKER, ABDULKADİR; AYDIN, SEDA; DAĞ, ENES; YILMAZ, ÜMİT CEZMİ; Tekinalp, Ozan (2021-06-25)
Long term and safe relative orbit design for heterogeneous spacecraft clusters
Yaglioglu, Burak; Tekinalp, Ozan (2021-06-01)
The problem of obtaining long term relative orbit configurations for spacecraft clusters with realistic operational considerations such as safety, station keeping and inter-spacecraft distances is addressed. Two different ...
Airborne Wind Energy: Trajectory Tracking Controller Design of a Tethered Aircraft
Önen, Anıl Sami; Tekinalp, Ozan (2021-05-26)
Airborne wind energy has been intensely studied by the researchers, especially in the last decade(Ahrens, Diehl and Schmehl, 2014). It stems from the crosswind flight concept that was originallyintroduced by Loyd (1980). T...
Maneuver Planning Strategy for Rapid Response Solar Sail Satellite Concept
Polat, Halis Can; Tekinalp, Ozan (2021-01-11)
Regarding the use of Solar Sail Satellites at low altitudes for the proposed concept, a study is carried out to determine the critical mode switching altitude of the mission orbit and a review is presented for the non-id...
