Are you curious about the modelling of a distributed L-band radiometer and its link to relative motion? Last week Cristina Erbeia presented her thesis work, developed under the supervision of our Camilla Colombo and Francesca Scala, at the Pegasus Student Conference 2023 in Rome.
COMPASS Group, within Politecnico di Milano, participated to the opening ceremony of the exhibition ‘Looking Beyond’, in Milan on the 27th February. Resulting from the collaboration of IAF, AIDAA, ASI, Telespazio and MAECI, the exposition promotes the 75th IAC, that will be held in Milan in 2024.
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.
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.
We are hiring! New junior researcher position at @compass @aerospacepolimi with application deadline on 17/02/2023 on the design of transfer trajectories in the three-body problem of the Earth-Moon system and the Sun-Earth system and the dynamics of orbits under the effects of solar radiation pressure.
