COMPASS visits at MIT
This summer Giacomo Borelli and Martina Rusconi visited the Space Enabled Lab at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), delivering two seminars on the COMPASS group current research activities.
A constraint programming model for planning constellation-servicing debris removal
Constellation-servicing active debris removal (ADR) is a potential solution to deal with failed constellation satellites. A new Open Access paper from Adrián Barea and Hodei Urrutxua from URJC and Juan Luis Gonzalo and Camilla Colombo from Politecnico di Milano proposes a constraint programming-based framework for preliminary ADR mission analysis.
Environmental impact of object breakup in medium-Earth orbit
The new paper published by Lorenzo Giudici, Juan Luis Gonzalo, Andrea Muciaccia and Camilla Colombo from Politecnico di Milano, and by Francesca Letizia from the European Space Agency presents the extension of a space debris index formulation to the medium Earth orbital region, developed in the framework of the ESA-funded project THEMIS.
