Event Background
Join a.i. solutions for a webinar exploring the challenges of predicting orbital decay for spacecraft in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), with a spotlight on one of NASA’s most iconic missions: the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at a workflow that combines the ease-of-use of Python with the powerful astrodynamics engine of FreeFlyer to develop a set of fast, flexible orbit decay tools for real-world mission support. This webinar aims to provide practical insights into tackling the notoriously difficult orbit decay problem, illustrated with results from a world-renowned space telescope mission.
Who are the Speakers?
Abram Aguilar has been with a.i. solutions for 8 years, starting out as a FreeFlyer intern in the Summer of 2018. Now, he is an Advanced Mission Design Engineer in the Flight Mechanics and Trajectory Design Branch at NASA’s Johnson Space Center. He recently joined the NASA Engineering and Safety Center Flight Mechanics Technical Discipline Team, where he has leveraged his expertise to develop tools to model satellite orbit decay in the LEO environment. His work in this area has contributed to two NASA Technical Memos, briefed to the highest levels of the Agency’s leadership.
