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.
GPU computing can accelerate the trajectory design process in the high-fidelity environment. Alessandro Masat gave a talk at the 2022 AIAA SciTech Forum and Exposition on how to make the most of this emerging compute architecture by augmenting the integration system.
Davide Menzio successfully defended his PhD thesis “Search-grid applications for trajectory design in presence of flyby” at Politecnico di Milano, to be awarded the degree of Doctor.
