In 2006, NASA used DIDO to implement zero propellant maneuvering"International Space Station Zero-Propellant Maneuver (ZPM) Demonstration (ZPM) - 07.29.14". NASA. of the International Space Station. In 2007, SIAM News printed a page 1 article announcing the use of Ross' theory. This led other researchers to explore the mathematics of pseudospectral optimal control theory. DIDO is also used to maneuver the Space Station and operate various ground and flight equipment to incorporate autonomy and performance efficiency for nonlinear control systems.
