Research

 

Spacecraft Dynamics and Control.

Design and implementation of Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) algorithms for orbital and attitude maneuvering.

Software/Hardware-in-the-loop testing.

Design software setups and testbeds for real-time, on-ground testing of spacecraft GNC algorithms and associated hardware.

Robotics

GNC strategies for space robots. Examples include in-orbit capture, active debris removal, and planetary exploration.
