Politecnico di Milano

Exciting News! Politecnico di Milano successfully hosted the 2nd Space Debris Day, where industry experts shared valuable insights on space debris management, covering surveillance, situational awareness, traffic management, modelling, and mitigation strategies.

Networking opportunities allowed students to connect with professionals from global companies and institutions, expanding their perspectives on addressing the space debris challenge.

The event was a remarkable experience, deepening attendees' understanding of space engineering and emphasizing collaboration. We were pleased to support in organizing this enriching event!

On the 17th of May, our Francesca Scala successfully defended her PhD thesis, “Multiple satellites formation flying for Earth observation applications in low Earth orbit”, at Politecnico di Milano.

Her research defines a mission design technique to enable future distributed multi-satellite systems for high-resolution interferometry. Furthermore, her work proposes a methodology for guidance, navigation and control algorithms for a fast and reliable simulation of the system performances. The significance of her study relies on the flexibility of the developed methodology, which can be applied to several multiple-spacecraft formation concepts, not only in the Earth observation field. Francesca was supervised by Prof. Camilla Colombo and Dr Gabriella Gaias, and her research was co-funded by the ERC COMPASS project and the ESA/ESTEC’s FFLAS mission concept study.

The new paper published by Lorenzo Giudici, Mirko Trisolini and Camilla Colombo presents a fully probabilistic model for the long-term propagation of space debris clouds evolving under any orbital regime.
