PhD Candidate Xiaodong Lu attended the 2024 AAS/AIAA Astrodynamics Specialists Conference and presented his work entitled “Analytical optimisation of post mission disposal maneuvers towards an earth re-entry with averaged dynamics models”.
PhD candidates Martina Rusconi and Xiaodong Lu from the COMPASS group took part in the 29th International Symposium on Space Flight Dynamics […]
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.
New article on HPC and GPU computing! Alessandro Masat, Camilla Colombo, and Arnaud Boutonnet propose an augmentation scheme to optimise the computational performance of the massive orbit propagation problem.
How to enhance end-of-life deorbiting by using orbit perturbations? Check this out in the Open Access paper by Simeng Huang, Camilla Colombo, Elisa Maria Alessi, Yang Wang and Zhili Hou
Improving the model of b-plane circles and using it for flyby design: check out the new Open Access paper by Alessandro Masat, Matteo Romano and Camilla Colombo. Find the paper here.
Twice as fast and ten times more precise planetary protection compliance analysis? KS variables ensure so, learn how in the new Open Access paper by Alessandro Masat, Matteo Romano and Camilla Colombo. See the paper here.
GPU computing can accelerate the trajectory design process in the high-fidelity environment. Alessandro Masat gave a talk at the 2022 AIAA SciTech Forum and Exposition on how to make the most of this emerging compute architecture by augmenting the integration system.
ESA-funded project on robust trajectory design with uncertainties is kicking off! The cooperation between COMPASS and the European Space Agency on mission analysis on planetary protection and robust trajectory design continues, co-funding the PhD of Alessandro Masat under the supervision of Camilla Colombo and Arnaud Boutonnet.
Wanna know more about the newest developments in astrodynamics software? ESA’s 8th International Conference of Astrodynamics Tools and Techniques is the place for you!
