Space Systems Dynamics

On November 13-15, Moscow's RUDN University hosted the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) SciTech Forum including the conferences on space flight mechanics and space structures and materials. Our team has
been represented by four Master students, Anna Okhitina, Tatyana Petrova, Anastasia Tselousova, and Uliana Monakhova. All of them are already either Junior Researchers or Engineers at KIAM. Details...

7th International Conference on Astrodynamics Tools and Techniques (ICATT) has been held on November 6-9 at the research site of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Oberpfaffenhofen. Sergey Trofimov, who appeared to be the only presenter from Russia, gave a talk about the novel semianalytical method of designing a multi-spacecraft formation in Lissajous orbits around a collinear libration point. Details...

Bremen hosted the 69th International Astronautical Congress. During a week, from 1st to 6th of October, the German city has been attracting the heads of leading space agencies, researchers, and engineeres all over the world. Our team did not stay aside, too. Details...

The results of the leading young teams contest have been announced by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR). The research project called "Study of Satellite Controlled Motion During Rendezvous and Capture of the Noncooperative Target" led by Dr. Danil Ivanov is among the winners and will get a financial support during the next two years. Congratulations!

The 11th International Workshop and Advanced School “Spaceflight Dynamics and Control” has been organized in Portuguese Covilha in September 26-28. Mikhail Ovchinnikov, Dmitry Roldugin, and Sergey Shestakov represented our team and gave several talks. Details...

The results of the "My first grant" contest have been announced by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR). Our colleague, Dr. Maksim Shirobokov, is among the winners. During the next two years, he will receive RFBR financial support for the proposed research project "Neural Networks for the Problems of Spacecraft Trajectory Optimization and Correction." Congratulations to Maksim!

Yesterday, it was announced that the 2017 Medal of the Russian Academy of Sciences for young scientists in the area of mathematics has been awarded to our researchers, Dr. Sergey Trofimov and Dr. Maksim Shirobokov, for a series of research papers developing advanced mathematical methods of design and high-accuracy modeling of prospective small satellite missions. Congratulations to our teammates!

The results of the contest for receiving Russian President fellowships for young scientists and PhD students have been announced. Among the winners are our researchers: Danil Ivanov, Dmitry Roldugin, and Stepan Tkachev. For the next three years, they will receive about 400 dollars monthly. Congratulations!
