About the Lab

Professor Sang Young Park's research lab specializes in space mission optimization and sustainable energy systems, with a focus on astrodynamics for planetary defense and smart grid integration of renewable energy. The lab develops advanced trajectory optimization techniques for deflection missions involving Earth-crossing asteroids and comets, leveraging low-thrust propulsion and astrodynamical constraints. In parallel, the lab designs intelligent battery management systems for grid-connected photovoltaic systems, aiming to enhance energy efficiency and support urban electrification through optimized electric bus charging strategies. The research bridges aerospace engineering and sustainable energy technology with strong emphasis on real-world applicability and system-level optimization.

Two-Body Optimization for Deflecting Earth-Crossing Asteroids

We present a formulation of a e nite-dimensional optimization problem associated with the dee ection of Earthcrossing asteroids. The performance measure is minimizing the delta-V requirement for achieving a minimum target separation distance. A number of astrodynamical constraints are identie ed and modeled. The constrained optimization problem is numerically solved using a sequential quadratic programming method. Our numerical analysis indicates that the minimum delta-V requirement is not a mon

SJR Q2Physiotherapy Theory and Practice

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of circuit exercise training and detraining, which is defined by termination of training without additional physical activities, in type 2 diabetic patients. Elderly with type 2 diabetes were divided into a group that exercised for 1 h three times a week for 12 weeks, followed by detraining for 8 weeks, or into a control group.

Mission Functionality for Deflecting Earth-Crossing Asteroids/Comets

SJR Q1Journal of Guidance Control and Dynamics

Using astrometric interferometry on near-Earth objects (NEOs) poses many interesting and difficult challenges. Poor reflectance properties and potentially no significant active emissions lead to NEOs having intrinsically low visual magnitudes. Using worst case estimates for signal reflection properties leads to NEOs having visual magnitudes of 27 and higher. Today the most sensitive interferometers in operation have limiting magnitudes of 20 or less. The main reason for this limit is due to the
