Space Systems Dynamics

On January 28-31, at Palazzo Pallavicini-Rospigliosi (Rome, Italy), the 5th IAA Conference on University Satellite Missions and CubeSat Workshop has been held. The conference motto "Getting closer to Mars" marked the change of the paradigm in small satellite applications: technological near-Earth missions are followed by interplanetary ones. Several talks have been devoted to this shift, including the invited lecture by Prof. Mikhail Ovchinnikov.
