Advanced Space Concepts Laboratory
LAB OBJECTIVES
"Push the boundaries, redefine state-of-the-art."
ABOUT THE LAB
At ASCLab, we aim to study and propose solutions to various multi-disciplinary challenges. We study multi-body dynamical systems and design methodologies to improve space mission design, reachability, and feasibility for current and futuristic spacecraft propulsion regimes. We also research sensor-fusion, 3D reconstruction, and learning-based algorithms to enable autonomous guidance and control of Land, Space, and Aerial Robots, focusing on planetary landers and rovers.
