COMPASS Lab at the 9th European Conference on Space Debris in Bonn

We are thrilled to announce that the COMPASS Lab from the Department of Aerospace Science and Technology (DAER) at Politecnico di Milano will take part in the 9th European Conference on Space Debris in Bonn, from April 2nd to 4th, 2025.

Sustainability in space is at the heart of our research, and we are proud to contribute to the technical program with innovative studies on space sustainability, space debris, space traffic management, and astrodynamics.

Save the dates and join us to connect, explore, and discuss cutting-edge research and solutions.

Here are our contributions:
