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.
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

Apply to take part to the seventh edition of the Master Class dedicated to possible candidates to #MSCA (Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions) – European Postdoctoral Fellowships call 2024. Application Deadline 7 May 2024.
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.

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.
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.

Francesca is a new PhD candidate at Politecnico di Milano. She will mainly work on fragmentation reconstruction in any orbital region for the long and short term.
Wiebke recently started her PhD at Politecnico di Milano. She will investigate the density based model of the global space debris population. In particular she will focus on including uncertainties.
Yifan recently started her PhD at Politecnico di Milano. She will mainly work on resource allocation and optimization.
