Space Mission Contributions

Our group prides itself in its ability to make an impact both within academia and in industry.

The fundamental research we conduct at our research group is regularly applied and contributes to flight space missions in collaboration with space agencies, including NASA JPL and JAXA. We will continue our collaborations with space agencies and companies to contribute to the forefront of space exploration and sciences.

Relevant projects:

• Robust Solar Sail Trajectory Design for the NEA Scout Mission
• SRP-based orbit control for solar sailing with application to NEA Scout
