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.
