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
The new paper by our Andrea Muciaccia and Camilla Colombo in collaboration with the SPIRE group of DAER, ASI and INAF, presents the work done in terms of observation, monitoring and reconstruction of the Cosmos 1408 fragmentation occurred on the 15th November 2021.

Are you curious about the modelling of a distributed L-band radiometer and its link to relative motion? Last week Cristina Erbeia presented her thesis work, developed under the supervision of our Camilla Colombo and Francesca Scala, at the Pegasus Student Conference 2023 in Rome.
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.
How to deorbit spacecrafts efficiently to guarantee the sustainability of the space environment? Last week Xiaodong Lu presented an approach to design the end-of-life disposal for spacecrafts at I-CELMEC Conference.
We are hiring! New junior researcher position at @compass @aerospacepolimi with application deadline on 17/02/2023 on the design of transfer trajectories in the three-body problem of the Earth-Moon system and the Sun-Earth system and the dynamics of orbits under the effects of solar radiation pressure.
