Xiaodong Lu at I-CELMEC Conference “New frontiers of Celestial Mechanics: theory and applications” in Padova
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.
Low-thrust de-orbiting from Low Earth Orbit through natural perturbations
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
Journal of Space Safety Engineering paper on HEO spacecraft disposal and demise is out!
Can we predict the long-term disposal of satellites in highly elliptical orbits? Do they pose a risk at re-entry? Check the latest article in the Journal of Space Safety Engineering of our student Christian Fusaro, with Mirko Trisolini and Camilla Colombo to find out!
Free access to the paper for 50 days at this link .
Demisability analysis of re-entering structures on resonant trajectories
Mirko Trisolini from COMPASS participated to the 5th International Space Debris Re-entry Workshop organised by ESA, presenting his work on the re-entry and disposal of GEO satellites on resonant trajectories.
