Interested in contributing to the future of Space Sustainability? A PhD position open in our group on ORBITAL CARRYING CAPACITY ASSESSMENT WITH […]
PhD Candidate Xiaodong Lu attended the 2024 AAS/AIAA Astrodynamics Specialists Conference and presented his work entitled “Analytical optimisation of post mission disposal maneuvers towards an earth re-entry with averaged dynamics models”.
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.
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.
Yeerang is a new postdoc in Politecnico di Milano. She will work on space situational awareness, focusing on maneuvers detection and long-term orbit propagation.
The new paper published by Lorenzo Giudici, Juan Luis Gonzalo, Andrea Muciaccia and Camilla Colombo from Politecnico di Milano, and by Francesca Letizia from the European Space Agency presents the extension of a space debris index formulation to the medium Earth orbital region, developed in the framework of the ESA-funded project THEMIS.
