    If it was that easy, I don’t think the US government would have mandated a whole project to figure it out. NASA would have done it by now and been using it internally for a while before anybody noticed.

    That’s not sarcasm - that’s kinda how NASA solves weird (to baselines) problems like this. They just sort of do it, it’s done, and then somebody might get around to publishing a paper about it. At least in the years I worked there (GSFC, 2010-2013) it used to be a thing that engineers would chat about while waiting for the coffee maker to finish brewing a fresh pot, or maybe doodle on a bad while waiting for a run to finish.
