Chi siamo
Space benefits mankind through the services it provides to Earth. Future space activities progress thanks to space transfer and are safeguarded by space situation awareness. Natural orbit perturbations are responsible for the trajectory divergence from the nominal two-body problem, increasing the requirements for orbit control; whereas, in space situation awareness, they influence the orbit evolution of space debris that could cause hazard to operational spacecraft and near Earth objects that may intersect the Earth. However, this project proposes to leverage the dynamics of natural orbit perturbations to significantly reduce current extreme high mission cost and create new opportunities for space exploration and exploitation. The COMPASS project will bridge over the disciplines of orbital dynamics, dynamical systems theory, optimisation and space mission design by developing novel techniques for orbit manoeuvring by “surfing” through orbit perturbations. The use of semi-analytical techniques and tools of dynamical systems theory will lay the foundation for a new understanding of the dynamics of orbit perturbations. We will develop an optimiser that progressively explores the phase space and, though spacecraft parameters and propulsion manoeuvres, governs the effect of perturbations to reach the desired orbit. It is the ambition of COMPASS to radically change the current space mission design philosophy: from counteracting disturbances, to exploiting natural and artificial perturbations.

Large satellite constellations in low Earth orbit have opened up exciting new possibilities for space-based services, but they also come with significant challenges such as dealing with failed satellites that cannot perform their end-of-life disposal. Constellation-servicing active debris removal (ADR) is a potential solution to deal with these satellites. Among the many challenges to establish such a service, is the planning of the sequence of satellites to be visited for removal, depending on the characteristics of the constellation, of the servicing spacecraft, and the number of failed satellites. An Open Access paper (https://lnkd.in/dwqFGq2D) recently published in Advanced in Space Research by Adrián Barea and Hodei Urrutxua from Universidad Rey Juan Carlos and Juan Luis Gonzalo Gómez and Camilla Colombo from Politecnico di Milano proposes a framework for preliminary ADR mission analysis, based on constraint programming techniques. The framework quantifies the performance of a set of predefined mission choices with respect to the mission requirements. Moreover, if a poor performance is shown or if the mission choices have not been previously obtained, appropriate mission choices are generated so that the desired performance is optimised. #DAER #AerospacePoliMi COMPASS PoliMi

This summer, within the ERC project #GREENSPECIES and thanks to the MIT-PoliMi funding, the COMPASS group conducted two visits to the Space Enabled Lab, led by Prof. Danielle Wood at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). These visits aimed to foster collaboration and facilitate a fruitful exchange of research ideas, highlighting the synergies between the two groups' activities. During their visits, COMPASS group members also delivered seminars on their current research activities. Giacomo Borelli, a Postdoctoral Researcher, spent two weeks at the Space Enabled lab in late June. He presented a seminar titled "A Step Towards a Sustainable Space: From Space Traffic Management to Debris Mitigation." Martina Rusconi, a PhD student, spent one week at the Space Enabled lab in July, where she delivered a seminar titled "A Step Towards a Sustainable Space: From Mission Design to Space Debris Modeling."

As part of the ISTAR project, our researchers Camilla Colombo, Yeerang Lim, Mathilda Bolis, and Francesca Ottoboni are contributing to developing an Italian space situational awareness infrastructure. Their work includes manoeuvre detection, long-term fragmentation reconstruction, and end-of-life disposal design for satellites in cislunar space. These initiatives represent the new frontier of modern space technology, aiming to create a safer and more sustainable space environment for all. Stay tuned as we advance our mission for a safer space environment! 🛰
FIRST TECHNICAL MEETING FOR THE ASI-ISTAR PROJECT On July 10th, we had the opportunity to co-organize and attend the first technical meeting for the ISTAR project at the Italian Space Surveillance and Tracking Operations Center (ISOC) in the military base of Pratica di Mare. This collaboration is the result of an agreement between Agenzia Spaziale Italiana and Politecnico di Milano for the scientific-technical support to Aeronautica Militare in the Space Surveillance and Tracking #SST field, involving other research institutions as Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II, Università degli Studi di Padova, and Institute of Information Science and Technologies. The covered topics encompass Space Traffic Management #STM, fragmentation analysis, atmospheric re-entry, sensor tasking, telescope image processing, and #RSO characterisation.

A new member is joining the COMPASS group!🚀 Yeerang Lim is a new postdoc at Politecnico di Milano. She will work on space situational awareness, focusing on maneuvers detection and long-term orbit propagation. She obtained her PhD in Aerospace Engineering at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. Before joining the team, she was a researcher at Chair of Space Technology in TU Berlin. Her previous work was mainly on spacecraft formation flying. AerospacePoliMi Politecnico di Milano #research #COMPASS #spacesituationalawareness #longtermpropagation

COMPASS PoliMi and SPIRE PoliMi from AerospacePoliMi, have initiated a partnership led by GMV to develop the ESA-funded Advanced Control Techniques for Increased on-board Autonomy (ACTIVA) project. This initiative focuses on the #research, development, implementation, and validation of #advancedcontrol techniques to enhance #spacecraft operational efficiency, through improved #onboard autonomy and decision-making capabilities to deal with tasks as #collisionavoidance maneuvers. The project will conduct a comprehensive analysis of European Space Agency - ESA #LEO missions, addressing #collisionrisk assessment and ground dependencies. This analysis will help identify and select relevant use-cases and define specific requirements for missions, payloads, #AOCS, and ground interfaces. Furthermore, the project involves developing a comprehensive simulator to demonstrate the enhanced autonomy of spacecraft operations, followed by rigorous testing, verification, and validation.

Another step was taken toward a more sustainable space!🚀 Ranking space missions based on their likelihood to contribute to the proliferation of space debris is crucial to foster a sustainable use of space. The new paper published by Lorenzo Giudici, Juan Luis Gonzalo Gómez, Andrea Muciaccia and Camilla Colombo from Politecnico di Milano, by Mirko Trisolini from Vyoma and by Francesca Letizia from the European Space Agency - ESA presents the extension of the space debris index formulation ECOB (Environmental Consequences of Orbital Breakups) to the medium Earth orbital region. The currently in-orbit missions are eventually ranked based on the proposed metric. The metric has been formulated for the THEMIS (Track the Health of the Environment and Missions in Space) software, in an ESA-funded project carried out by Politecnico di Milano in collaboration with Deimos Space UK The paper is available at the following link: https://lnkd.in/dsuB7z-A Politecnico di Milano AerospacePoliMi European Space Agency - ESA #erc #themis #europeanspaceagency #scientificjournal #sustainabilitymetric #spacedebris #inorbitcollisionprobability #densitydistribution #cloudpropagation
