Jet Transport Technique: Theory and Application

Prof. Jianping Yuan’s current research interest is mainly in dynamics and control in space flight. From 1988 to 1990, he was an Alexander von Humboldt Research fellow with the Institute of Flight Control, Technical University of Braunschweig, Braunschweig, Germany. He was also the chief scientist of the State High-Tech Development Plan (863 Program).

Jianlin Chen is an associate professor at Northwestern Polytechnical University. He holds two Ph.D. degrees from Northwestern Polytechnical University and Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. He focuses on developing Jet Transport technique and its applications in astrodynamics. Meanwhile, his research interest is also in dynamics and control in space flight, nonlinear state prediction and estimation.

Chen Gao is an associate professor at Northwestern Polytechnical University. He obtained his Ph.D. from Northwestern Polytechnical University and Technical University of Catalonia in spacecraft dynamics and control. His research interests include libration point orbits mission analysis, trajectory design and optimization, and station keeping.

Chuan Ma is now a postdoctoral researcher at Northwestern Polytechnical University, He received his Ph.D degree from Northwestern Polytechnical University in 2021. His current interests are mainly in nonlinear filter, information fusion and computer vision.

Josep J. Masdemont is a full professor at the Technical University of Catalonia, former chair of the Department of Applied Mathematics I and member of the Astrodynamics Committee of the International Astronautical Federation (IAF). He has been working on different topics of Astrodynamics (libration point orbits, formation flight, mission analysis and control) and some aspects of Applied Dynamical Systems, Astronomy and Mathematical Finance. He has participated in several projects of the ESA, NASA/JPL and CNES and also worked as a consultant of different space missions such as SOHO, Herschell-Gaia, WSO, Genesis, TPF and Darwin.

Gerard Gomez is a full professor from the University of Barcelona whose research interests include astrodynamics and celestial mechanics.
