Summary: The main protease (M-pro) of SARS-CoV-2 is crucial for the virus's life cycle. It cleaves the polyproteins to form mature proteins, essential for virion formation. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations were performed to study the recognition and cleavage of hexapeptides by M-pro. The results provided insights into M-pro's substrate recognition and its implications for developing small molecule inhibitors.

Summary: This review critically evaluates 61 peer-reviewed manuscripts that use a docking step in virtual screening to predict SARS-CoV-2 M-pro inhibitors. The study finds that most manuscripts do not validate their methodology or results, and the docking scores do not effectively predict the potency of M-pro inhibitors or differentiate between active and inactive compounds. The correlation between pIC(50) and docking scores is not strong, indicating limitations in using docking scores as a cutoff value for selecting new M-pro inhibitors or predicting relative bioactivity.

Summary: The paper presents the method and results of the team ASTL-NUAA from NUAA for solving the problem of GTOC 11. The problem is decomposed into three parts: optimization of multiple targets flyby sequence for Mother Ships, construction of a station-building database for asteroid transfer arcs, and mission planning for station-building. A three-step optimization framework is proposed to solve the problem. The optimal solutions are obtained by analyzing and selecting candidate asteroids, applying a genetic algorithm for asteroid flyby sequence determination, constructing a station-building database with less computation burden, and using a branch-and-bound algorithm for maximizing minimal mass among stations. The final score of the solution is 4315.6663, achieved after the competition.

The method includes a rotating mass dipole model, a stepped parameter estimation model, a dynamic parameter linearization technique, and a Lyapunov function matching.

Summary: This paper proposes and verifies an optimal estimation method for satellite attitude deviation in orbit using the frequency domain features of microwave remote sensing data. The method is applied to the Gaofen-3B (GF-3B) satellite and involves obtaining Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging results and Doppler center deviation inversions. A model is established between the Doppler center deviation and satellite attitude deviation, allowing for the separation and estimation of attitude deviations in different dimensions. The proposed method successfully suppresses attitude deviation and improves image quality of SAR satellites.

Summary: This article investigates an adaptive, distributed, and cooperative control strategy for the problem of spacecraft swarm reconfiguration, which involves assembling the spacecraft at a close distance to one another while avoiding collisions and keeping spacecraft far from an obstacle. The proposed control strategy is inspired by the actor-critic framework of reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms and utilizes a combination of critic neural network (NN) and artificial potential field (APF) to address the soft and hard constraints. The adaptive, distributed, and cooperative controller is devised using an actor NN of the RL algorithm, an APF, and Backstepping control technology.

Summary: To address the issue of time-consuming training in reinforcement learning caused by sparse reward functions, an efficient dense reward framework is proposed for robust low-thrust trajectory optimization. The framework includes dense reward functions designed separately for deterministic and uncertain scenarios, and incorporates exponential acceleration terms to improve training efficiency in rendezvous missions. Empirical forbidden zones and exponential terms are also introduced to design a dense reward function for the deterministic scenario. The method is demonstrated to be effective and efficient in Earth-Mars and Earth-Venus missions.

Summary: This article presents a pseudospectral convex optimization-based model predictive static programming (PCMPSP) for the constrained guidance problem. The sensitivity relation between the state increment and control correction is reformulated using Legendre-Gauss and Legendre-Gauss-Radau pseudospectral transcriptions. Modifications to the initial guess solution and reference trajectory update are introduced to enhance the accuracy and robustness of the algorithm. The simulation results demonstrate that the PCMPSP has better performance compared to existing convex programming methods in terms of sensitivity, accuracy, and convergence speed.

Summary: This article introduces a method called Indirect Sequential Convex Programming (ISCP), which combines the Uniform Trigonometrization Method (UTM) and Sequential Convex Programming (SCP) to solve difficulties in the Mars entry problem. The ISCP method eliminates the need for evaluating two possible solutions through Pontryagin's minimum principle (PMP) and solves the nonlinear two-point boundary value problem (TPBVP) by relaxing it into a convex programming problem. Simulations show the effectiveness and efficiency of the ISCP method for Mars entry missions.
