Breaking the Cycle: Novel Capture Mechanisms for Active Space Debris Removal (2023)
Conference Proceeding
Taggart, A., Harris, J., Pushparaj, N., & Cappelletti, C. (2023). Breaking the Cycle: Novel Capture Mechanisms for Active Space Debris Removal.

Since the launch of Sputnik 1 in 1957, over 6000 rockets and more than 11,300 satellites have been launched into space, resulting in a high number of artificial space debris in orbit around Earth. Of this debris, there are over one million objects be... Read More about Breaking the Cycle: Novel Capture Mechanisms for Active Space Debris Removal.

Development of a Cubesat Platform for Biomedical and Pharmaceutical LEO Experiments (2020)
Conference Proceeding
Robson, D., Cappelletti, C., Segal, J., Williams, P., & Szewczyk, N. (2020). Development of a Cubesat Platform for Biomedical and Pharmaceutical LEO Experiments. In Advances in the Astronautical Sciences Fifth IAA Conference on University Satellite Missions and CubeSat Workshop 2020 (189-196)

Undertaking biology experiments in space is a necessary and important part of understanding evolution, adaption, and ageing, and crucial to the enablement of safe human exploration away from Earth. Access to space, however, is difficult, costly and r... Read More about Development of a Cubesat Platform for Biomedical and Pharmaceutical LEO Experiments.
