Check out the new paper published on Acta Astronautica by Andrea Muciaccia, Matteo Romano, Mirko Trisolini, and Camilla Colombo from Politecnico di Milano, on the reconstruction of in orbit fragmentation events.
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.
The new paper published in Acta Astronautica by Mirko Trisolini, Camilla Colombo and Yuichi Tsuda analyses target asteroids for a novel sample collection mission concept.
