Mangalyaan Propellant Consumption Analysis Using Numerical Methods
Numerical Methods Project, Prof. Dilip Shrinivas Sundaram and Prof. Akshaa Vatwani, 2022
Aug ‘22 - Oct ‘22, IIT Gandhinagar
Implemented advanced numerical analysis techniques to precisely determine the mass of propellant consumed for ISRO’s Mangalyaan Mission during the satellite’s initial five maneuvers around the Earth’s orbit.
Implemented numerical techniques, including Euler’s method and Runge-Kutta method, to discretize energy and iteratively determine the mass of propellants. Also studied about Oberth’s Maneuver effect for orbital transition.
