Breaking the Cycle: Novel Capture Mechanisms for Active Space Debris Removal (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Taggart, A., Harris, J., Pushparaj, N., & Cappelletti, C. (2023, October). Breaking the Cycle: Novel Capture Mechanisms for Active Space Debris Removal. Presented at 74th International Astronautical Congress. Symposium A6. 21st IAA SYMPOSIUM ON SPACE DEBRIS, Baku, Azerbaijan

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)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Robson, D., Cappelletti, C., Segal, J., Williams, P., & Szewczyk, N. (2020, January). Development of a Cubesat Platform for Biomedical and Pharmaceutical LEO Experiments. Presented at Fifth IAA Conference on Dynamics and Control of Space Systems, Rome, Italy

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.
