Guidance and Navigation Lab

Guidance and Navigation Lab

Research at the lab deals with the different aspects of the Guidance, Navigation and Control loop which is instrumental to all modern aerospace ventures. Applications of current activities include rendezvous and docking between spacecraft, grasping and deorbiting of space debris, command of rovers. Significant heritage on formation flying, large and deployable space systems and structures and swarm-like, behavioral controlled systems, Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GPS, Galileo), inertial and optical navigation is present. The lab stresses, whenever possible, real world testing with the available experimental setups. Students from different degree levels are deeply involved in research activities.
