2023 COSPAR Outstanding Paper Award for Young Scientist
Lorenzo Giudici has been awarded an Outstanding Paper Award for Young Scientist for 2023 by the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) for the manuscript “Probabilistic multi-dimensional debris cloud propagation subject to non-linear dynamics”, coauthored by @Mirko and @camilla, which was recently published in the journal @Advances in Space Research.
The paper is available Open Access at the following link
Lorenzo Giudici PhD Defence
On the 11th of April, our Lorenzo Giudici successfully defended his PhD thesis “Space debris environment analysis with continuum mechanics”, at Politecnico di Milano to be awarded the doctoral degree in Aerospace Engineering.
COMPASS at PoliMi Open Day
At the PoliMi open day COMPASS offered a glimpse into the complex space debris problem by visualising the current orbital environment in virtual reality. VR technology brings the abstract concept closer, helping people understand the cluttered cosmos

Density-based in-orbit collision risk model valid for any impact geometry
The new paper published by Lorenzo Giudici, Juan Luis Gonzalo, and Camilla Colombo presents a novel approach for the estimation of the in-orbit collision risk posed by a space debris cloud to orbiting satellites in any orbital regime and conjunction geometry.

Guidance and Control for Safe Contactless Plume Impingement Operations to Detumble an Uncooperative Spacecraft
Check out the new paper by @Giacomo, @Gabriella and @Camilla where we tackled the challenges of controlling an uncooperative target rotational motion with a contactless method to aid a future capture.
The paper is available here.
Density-based evolutionary model of the space debris environment in low-Earth orbit
The new paper published by Lorenzo Giudici and Camilla Colombo from Politecnico di Milano and André Horstmann, Francesca Letizia and Stijn Lemmens from the European Space Agency presents a novel density-based model for the long-term propagation of the space debris environment in low-Earth orbit.
The paper is available here.
