Space Systems Engineering

Staff: Dr Gianmarco Radice

The Space Advanced Research Team at the University of Glasgow has a worldwide reputation as a centre of excellence in orbital mechanics and space systems engineering research. We carry out internationally leading, high profile, application driven research as well as investigate more futuristic ideas and visionary concepts. Several research topics are possible, including: Near Earth Objects missions, solar power satellites, orbital dynamics, formation flying, spacecraft attitude and control, autonomous systems, concurrent engineering, surface robotics and interstellar spaceflight. We have strong UK and EU industrial links (VEGA, EADS-Astrium, DLR, GMV, European Space Agency, Thales-Alenia Space) which support our ground breaking research activities.
