Marco Nugnes successfully defended hid PhD thesis “Design of low-thrust trajectories through differential dynamic programming enhancing the effects of orbital perturbations” at Politecnico di Milano, to be awarded the degree of Doctor.
Ph.D. student Andrea presented our work on space sustainability at the 9th Space Traffic Management Conference in Austin, Texas.
COMPASS Group, within Politecnico di Milano, participated to the opening ceremony of the exhibition ‘Looking Beyond’, in Milan on the 27th February. Resulting from the collaboration of IAF, AIDAA, ASI, Telespazio and MAECI, the exposition promotes the 75th IAC, that will be held in Milan in 2024.
Check out this new article on perturbation methods for hyperbolic flybys! Prof. Martin Lara, Alessandro Masat, and Camilla Colombo propose an analytical approach to study the effect of a planet’s oblateness on the trajectory of close encounters.
How to deorbit spacecrafts efficiently to guarantee the sustainability of the space environment? Last week Xiaodong Lu presented an approach to design the end-of-life disposal for spacecrafts at I-CELMEC Conference.
We are hiring! New junior researcher position at @compass @aerospacepolimi with application deadline on 17/02/2023 on the design of transfer trajectories in the three-body problem of the Earth-Moon system and the Sun-Earth system and the dynamics of orbits under the effects of solar radiation pressure.

How can we guarantee the long-term sustainability of the constellation? One of the solution is represented by the development of active debris removal and servicing activities for the constellation fleet.
The new paper published in Acta Astronautica by @Giacomo Borelli, @Gabriella Gaias, @Camilla Colombo presents a design of the rendezvous and proximity operations required for an active debris removal service for large constellation.

Professor Camilla Colombo from the Department of Aerospace Science and Technology of Politecnico di Milano was awarded the prestigious consolidator grant from the European Research Council (ERC) with the project GREEN SPECIES “Robust control of the space debris population to define optimal policies and an economic revenue model for sustainable development of space activities”.
Last week the COMPASS group took part of the 33rd AAS/AIAA Space Flight Meeting in Austin, Texas with two technical contributions. Our Ph.D. candidates Giacomo and Lorenzo presented their work on rendezvous and proximity operations and space debris evolutionary model.
The new paper published in Icarus by Mirko Trisolini, Camilla Colombo and Yuichi Tsuda proposes a new statistical formulation to model ejecta generated by impacts onto asteroids surfaces.
