Introduction
I am currently a Ph.D. candidate at the Department of Aerospace Science and Technology at Politecnico di Milano, as part of the COMPASS group. Aim of my Ph.D. research is to provide scientific support to the definition of efficient remediation strategies for the long-term debris problem. This will be obtained combining a predictive model of the debris cloud’s density and a robust feedback controller acting on the complex system.

The population of objects in space faced an unforeseeable growth in the last decades. Therefore, it is now imperative to reiterate the debris mitigation guidelines and reconsider the approach to the debris proliferation problem. Different counteractions are available to deal with the situation. However, how to efficiently combine and apply these me...
Space can be seen as an extension of our planet’s biosphere, and as happens with Earth’s ecosystem, humanity’s utilisation of it is not sustainable. The number of in-orbit debris is dramatically growing and the current guidelines for limiting their proliferation are less adequate to face nowadays situation. The research proposes to develop a system...
Space utilisation faced unforeseeable changes in the last decades. However, the policy definition for debris mitigation has not matched the rapid growth of the inert population on orbit. The interdisciplinary framework proposed in the GREEN SPECIES project, funded by the European Research Council, aims at providing scientific support to the reactiv...
The paper describes a general modelling procedure to build a simulation tool to investigate contact motion of a CubeSat on an asteroid surface. We investigate landing performance and landing success for the case of elastic rocky terrain and flat surfaces. As a case study, we focus on the disposal of ESA’s Hera Milani CubeSat by landing on the moon...
The paper describes the design and modelling of an on-orbit mission experiment for testing a novel engine technology in Space. The goal is to assess the novel engine thrust profile through an on-orbit reverse engineering approach. The simulation tool developed at Politecnico di Milano is initially designed to propagate the free attitude dynamics of...
