A constraint programming model for planning constellation-servicing debris removal
Constellation-servicing active debris removal (ADR) is a potential solution to deal with failed constellation satellites. A new Open Access paper from Adrián Barea and Hodei Urrutxua from URJC and Juan Luis Gonzalo and Camilla Colombo from Politecnico di Milano proposes a constraint programming-based framework for preliminary ADR mission analysis.
ISTAR project’s first technical meeting: new collaborative efforts in SSA
On July 10th, our researchers attended the first ISTAR project technical meeting at ISOC, Pratica di Mare, stemming from a collaboration between ASI and Politecnico di Milano. They focused on manoeuvre detection, fragmentation reconstruction, and end-of-life satellite disposal in cislunar space, advancing modern space technology for a safer and sustainable space environment.
