How to transfer a plurality of satellites using low-thrust propulsion without self-induced collisions? Check out our work on Aerospace Science and Technology by Simeng Huang, Camilla Colombo, and Franco Bernelli-Zazzera. The article is freely available in Open Access
MISS, a new software tool for the analysis and design of collision avoidance manoeuvres in space, is presented in a paper published by Juan Luis Gonzalo, Camilla Colombo, and Pierluigi Di Lizia in the Journal of Space Safety Engineering.
The use of advanced Monte Carlo sampling methods for estimating the probability of asteroid impacts is discussed in a paper authored by Matteo Romano and Camilla Colombo from the COMPASS team and Matteo Losacco and Pierluigi Di Lizia from PoliMi. The publication is accessible in open access. Check it out!
The COMPASS team attended the 2020 AAS/AIAA Astrodynamics Specialist Virtual Lake Tahoe Conference, held virtually, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, from 9 to 12 August 2020.
An analytical model of the line-of-sight to a target satellite for relative navigation applications is outlined in a paper authored by Gabriella Gaias and Camilla Colombo from the COMPASS team.

Prof. Danielle Wood from Space Enable MIT Media Lab and Prof. Camilla Colombo from COMPASS talk about “Sustainability in Space and on Earth” on a webinar co-organized by the Italian Space Agency and the US Consulate in Milan.
“A Salient Earth” is an art project by Sarah Ceravolo about the sustainability of space and particularly the space debris problem. A vivid colormap from our recent publications was used in the project.
A new journal article by Mirko Trisolini assesses the effects of hypervelocity space debris impacts on satellites through a geometrically based probabilistic approach.
A practical analytical framework for precise relative motion in low Earth orbits is outlined in a paper authored by Gabriella Gaias and Camilla Colombo from the COMPASS team.
