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.
Electric propulsion in space has become a key enabler for new types of missions. However, it also presents challenges, both in mission operations and hardware design. Join the seminar by SITAEL and PoliMi to discover the answers to some of these challenges! Our Camilla Colombo will talk about electric propulsion-enabled missions studied by the COMPASS group.
On December 16, Francesca Letizia from the ESA Space Debris Office gave a seminar at PoliMi about the sustainability of the space environment and the importance of space situational awareness for current space activities and for future space exploitation.
Prof. Willer Gomes dos Santos, from the Space Center (CEI) of the Brazilian Aeronautics Institute of Technology (ITA), delivered a seminar this Monday, 17 Feburary 2020, at PoliMi’s Department of Aerospace Science and Technology.
