COMPASS visits at MIT

This summer, within the ERC project #GREENSPECIES and thanks to the #MIT-PoliMi funding, the COMPASS group conducted two visits to the Space Enabled Lab, led by Prof. Danielle Wood at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). These visits aimed to foster collaboration and facilitate a fruitful exchange of research ideas, highlighting the synergies between the two groups’ activities. During their visits, COMPASS group members also delivered seminars on their current research activities.

Giacomo Borelli, a Postdoctoral Researcher, spent two weeks at the Space Enabled lab in late June. He presented a seminar titled “A Step Towards a Sustainable Space: From Space Traffic Management to Debris Mitigation.”

Martina Rusconi, a PhD student, spent one week at the Space Enabled lab in July, where she delivered a seminar titled “A Step Towards a Sustainable Space: From Mission Design to Space Debris Modeling.”

These visits have strengthened the connection between COMPASS and the Space Enabled Research Group, paving the way for future collaborations in the pursuit of sustainable space exploration and management.
