This line of research involves activities related to the exploration and understanding of space, encompassing theoretical, observational, scientific, and applied aspects. The aim is to seek and harness synergies between this field and other areas of activity at the institute.
Some key areas of focus include:
- Orbital mechanics and space mission design: Development and application of computational methods for astrodynamics problems, as well as the conceptual design and analysis of potential space missions.
- Astrophysics, cosmology, and space sciences: Study of specific aspects in these fields, such as solar cycles and their influence on Earth's climate.
- Detection and observation systems: Theoretical analysis of the implementation of various sensors and observation systems in satellites or space missions, driven by both basic science and Earth observation.
