How to enhance end-of-life deorbiting by using orbit perturbations? Check this out in the Open Access paper by Simeng Huang, Camilla Colombo, Elisa Maria Alessi, Yang Wang and Zhili Hou
Improving the model of b-plane circles and using it for flyby design: check out the new Open Access paper by Alessandro Masat, Matteo Romano and Camilla Colombo. Find the paper here.
Twice as fast and ten times more precise planetary protection compliance analysis? KS variables ensure so, learn how in the new Open Access paper by Alessandro Masat, Matteo Romano and Camilla Colombo. See the paper here.
New advances in flybys and trajectory design open access! Alessandro Masat and Camilla Colombo introduce the use of the b-plane and the Picard-Chebyshev scheme to efficiently surf complex and chaotic orbital perturbations.

Francesca Scala, from the COMPASS team, is spending a six-month period of her PhD as visiting researcher at the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESA-ESTEC), where she will increase her experience and expertise acquired during her research activities on mission design and guidance, navigation and control strategies.
Are you interested in new study to improve the quality of data of Earth observation missions?
Our Francesca Scala presented a tool for GNC simulation of future formation flying missions at the 2022 AIAA SciTech Forum.
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.
Since the start of the space age in 1957, there has been more space debris in orbit than operational satellite, posing a threat to active satellites. Francesca Letizia from ESA Space Debris Office gave a seminar at PoliMi about the debris environment and risk mitigation actions.
Last weekend, the COMPASS group opened its doors during the first edition of Festival dell’Ingegneria. Our research group participated to the open-labs events of the Department of Aerospace Science and Technology of Politecnico di Milano on Saturday and Sunday, sharing our exciting activities in the field of space sustainability.
Our PostDoc Mirko Trisolini is among the young researchers starting this year a MSCA Individual Fellowship at Politecnico di Milano. He talked about his project with Alumni PoliMi.
