The new paper published by Lorenzo Giudici, Juan Luis Gonzalo, Andrea Muciaccia and Camilla Colombo from Politecnico di Milano, and by Francesca Letizia from the European Space Agency presents the extension of a space debris index formulation to the medium Earth orbital region, developed in the framework of the ESA-funded project THEMIS.
The 4th Aerospace PhD Days in Scopello (6-9 May, 2024), organized by AIDAA, featured COMPASS group PhD candidates presenting their research works. The event fostered international engagement and idea exchange between PhD students, enhancing academic perspectives and promoting collaboration and innovation in aerospace academic sector.
PhD candidates Martina Rusconi and Xiaodong Lu from the COMPASS group took part in the 29th International Symposium on Space Flight Dynamics […]
Lorenzo Giudici has been awarded an Outstanding Paper Award for Young Scientist for 2023 by the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) for the manuscript “Probabilistic multi-dimensional debris cloud propagation subject to non-linear dynamics”, coauthored by @Mirko and @camilla, which was recently published in the journal @Advances in Space Research.

At the PoliMi open day COMPASS offered a glimpse into the complex space debris problem by visualising the current orbital environment in virtual reality. VR technology brings the abstract concept closer, helping people understand the cluttered cosmos
The new paper published by Lorenzo Giudici, Juan Luis Gonzalo, and Camilla Colombo presents a novel approach for the estimation of the in-orbit collision risk posed by a space debris cloud to orbiting satellites in any orbital regime and conjunction geometry.

The new paper published by Lorenzo Giudici and Camilla Colombo from Politecnico di Milano and André Horstmann, Francesca Letizia and Stijn Lemmens from the European Space Agency presents a novel density-based model for the long-term propagation of the space debris environment in low-Earth orbit.
The paper is available here.
The new paper by our Andrea Muciaccia and Camilla Colombo in collaboration with the SPIRE group of DAER, ASI and INAF, presents the work done in terms of observation, monitoring and reconstruction of the Cosmos 1408 fragmentation occurred on the 15th November 2021.
