A new Icarus paper on modelling asteroid ejecta clouds

Mirko Trisolini — Wed, 11 Jan 2023 14:37:00 +0000

The new paper on modelling asteroid ejecta clouds published in Icarus by Mirko Trisolini, Camilla Colombo and Yuichi Tsuda is out! In this work, we propose a new statistical formulation to model ejecta generated by artificial impacts onto asteroid surfaces. The work focuses on a novel framework with which we can have a modular description… Read More »A new Icarus paper on modelling asteroid ejecta clouds

New paper about asteroid sample collection in Acta Astronautica

Mirko Trisolini — Tue, 20 Dec 2022 13:31:00 +0000

We have published a new original paper about asteroid sample collection missions in Acta Astronautica. This work shows an in-depth analysis to find the best targets for in-orbit sample collection missions. To do so, we focus on the macroscopic properties of the asteroids (i.e., density and size) and analyse a series of possible materials. In… Read More »New paper about asteroid sample collection in Acta Astronautica

CRADLE at the 2nd International Stardust Conference

Mirko Trisolini — Fri, 11 Nov 2022 17:52:00 +0000

Mirko Trisolini presented his latest work on the project CRADLE at the 2nd International Stardust Conference. The work shows how the particles ejected after an impact move around the asteroids and how their behaviour can be modelled as a fluid. We can exploit this type of modelling to guide the spacecraft through areas with higher… Read More »CRADLE at the 2nd International Stardust Conference

Latest presentation at 11th IAASS Conference

Mirko Trisolini — Tue, 26 Oct 2021 13:45:36 +0000

Our Master student Christian Fusaro presented the latest results of his thesis at the 11th IAASS Conference on Space Safety. His work was part of the ERC Project COMPASS and focused on interfacing the long-term propagation and the destructive re-entry analysis for re-entry prediction and demisability analysis. He specifically analysed the re-entry of satellites in… Read More »Latest presentation at 11th IAASS Conference
