The increase in number of interplanetary probes has emphasized the need for spacecraft
autonomy to reduce overall mission costs and to enable riskier operations without ground …

The heterogeneity of the small body population complicates the prediction of small body
properties before the spacecraft's arrival. In the context of autonomous small body …

In the last decade, the new space economy has underlined the importance of the space
sector for public and private actors. Advances in CubeSats technologies allowed …

Space economy is growing and an increasing number of satellites is expected to orbit in the
Solar System. Current Deep-Space Network infrastructure can not manage the increasing …

The increasing number of deep-space missions and the consequent saturation of the Deep-
Space Network navigation slots has sparked the interest in autonomous navigation …

This paper presents the EXTREMA Simulation Hub (ESH), an integrated infrastructure that
reproduces dynamic simulations of the spacecraft-environment interaction, allowing high …

In recent decades, there has been a significant increase in the number of spacecraft
launched, allowing both private and public players to participate in space exploration. The …

EXTREMA is a project, funded by the European Research Council, that aims towards a
paradigm shift in the spacecraft Guidance, Navigation, and Control, by enabling probes able …

A new era of space exploration and exploitation is fast approaching. A multitude of
spacecraft will flow in the future decades under the propulsive momentum of the new space …

The surge of deep-space probes makes it unsustainable to navigate them with standard
radiometric tracking. Autonomous interplanetary satellites represent a solution to this …
