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.

Ph.D. student Andrea presented our work on space sustainability at the 9th Space Traffic Management Conference in Austin, Texas.
How can we guarantee the long-term sustainability of the constellation? One of the solution is represented by the development of active debris removal and servicing activities for the constellation fleet.
The new paper published in Acta Astronautica by @Giacomo Borelli, @Gabriella Gaias, @Camilla Colombo presents a design of the rendezvous and proximity operations required for an active debris removal service for large constellation.
