Marco Nugnes, from the COMPASS team, is spending six months of his PhD at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory under the Visiting Student Research Program (JVSRP), where he will work on his PhD research on low-thrust trajectory optimisation using the technique of the differential dynamic programming.
The 6th European Space Debris modelling, and Remediation workshop took place this week in Milan, organised by @Politecnico di Milano and @Centre National D’Etudes Spatiales (CNES). Many interesting contributions from 100 participants from the world space community. Valuable collaborations to foster a sustainable use of Space!
What is the best technique to propagate uncertainties of high-altitude, high area-to-mass ratio satellites? Find out the answer in the latest open access paper of PhD candidate Pan Sun, with Camilla Colombo, Mirko Trisolini, and Shuang Li.
