Contrails, or condensation trails, left by aircraft, significantly contribute to global warming by trapping heat in the Earth’s atmosphere. Despite their critical role in climate dynamics, the environmental impact of contrails remains underexplored....

CubeSats for Contrail Monitoring and Environmental Impact Reduction (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pushparaj, N., Cormier, L., Cappelletti, C., & Portapas, V. (2024, October). CubeSats for Contrail Monitoring and Environmental Impact Reduction. Presented at 75th International Astronautical Congress, Milan, Italy

Contrails, or condensation trails, are cloud-like trails left by aircraft under certain atmospheric conditions. They are known to exacerbate global warming by trapping heat in the Earth’s atmosphere. Despite the significant role of contrails in clima... Read More about CubeSats for Contrail Monitoring and Environmental Impact Reduction.

Small launch platforms for micro-satellites (2018)
Journal Article
Cappelletti, C., Battistini, S., & Graziani, F. (2018). Small launch platforms for micro-satellites. Advances in Space Research, 62(12), 3298-3304. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.asr.2018.05.004

The number of small satellites launched into orbit has enormously increased in the last twenty years. The introduction of new standards of micro-satellites has multiplied the launch demand around the world. Nevertheless, not all the missions can easi...
