Joan-Pau Sanchez, PhD, is a lecturer in space engineering at Cranfield University. He was one of the first to publish a Near Earth Orbit asteroid map. With host Jason Kanigan of the Cold Star Project, Dr. Sanchez discusses:
what some of the “new rich families of exploitable orbits which may enable radically new mission applications and services” are
his thoughts about the current alarm of “cluttered Earth orbit”, which we are moving towards with the planned launches of tens of thousands of smallsats
what the “Traveling Salesperson Problem” is in ADR/servicing satellites
how algorithms to solve such problems can be developed without the help of supercomputers
his experience with the Comet Interceptor program and working with ESA
the uses of his paper, “Optimal Sunshade Configurations for Space-Based Geoengineering near the Sun-Earth L1 Point"
the project he lead, also covered by his student Florian Gautier in Episode 50, researching landing cubesats on an asteroid using the ZARM drop tower.
