Congratulations to Andrew Langford, PhD student in the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Purdue University, for receiving a 2024 Hertz Fellowship, one of the most competitive doctoral fellowships in the world. https://lnkd.in/gpMz6k7v
Congratulations!
But of course!!
Fifty-one years ago today, astronauts on the surface of the moon woke up to the Aggie War Hymn! The Apollo 17 Mission Flight Director, Gerry Griffin '56, orchestrated the War Hymn playing in space. Griffin also sent his Aggie ring to the moon with the Apollo 12 mission, which is now on display at Texas A&M University College of Engineering's Zachry Engineering Education Complex here on campus!
How do you see the future of space safety evolving? The Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) is proud to highlight the remarkable achievements of Moriba Jah, an associate professor of Aerospace Engineering at the Cockrell School of Engineering, The University of Texas at Austin. Jah serves as a Principal Investigator for AFOSR and is recognized as a fellow at TED Conferences, the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and the Air Force Research Laboratory, among others. Currently, Jah is the Principal Investigator for two programs with Program Officer Michael Yakes. Jah’s research focuses on space safety and engineering, addressing critical challenges in the field and driving innovations that support the technological supremacy of the United States Air Force and United States Space Force. His contributions are not only advancing scientific knowledge but also ensuring safer and more sustainable space operations. 🔗 Explore more about Moriba Jah's work and its impact on aerospace research from this insightful NPR interview: https://lnkd.in/gkZgvV8u #AerospaceEngineering #ScienceResearch #SpaceSafety #Innovation #AFResearchLab #AFOSR #BasicResearch #AFOSRBoldResearch
Our research is featured on Medium as part of Purdue Engineering Review series! This article describes the vision of my research group for sustainable space exploration and utilization and how our research in astrodynamics, controls & estimation, learning, and optimization could help achieve the goal.
School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Purdue University's professor Ken Oguri's research group is developing new mathematical models, algorithms and frameworks to optimize space trajectories, autonomously plan safe maneuvers and sensing, and design missions and science orbits.

[Partners presentation] German Aerospace Center (DLR) is the national aeronautics and space research center of the Federal Republic of Germany. It’s responsible for the fields of aeronautics, space, and transport research, and makes important contributions to energy research. 👉 In FALCON, the long-term and worldwide expertise of DLR will be crucial for the analysis of the aerodynamics and aeroacoustics of noise generated at the high-lift system, optical flow measurement techniques, 2D- and 3D- quantitative visualization of velocity, pressure and density fields, surface deformation measurements, and direct noise computation of high-lift wing noise ✈ DLR leads the WP3 and is involved in work packages 2, and 4. ➡ DLR’s team is composed of Jan Delfs, Andreas Schröder, Roland Ewert, Christian Jente & Malav Soni. 🔔 Stay tuned for partner presentation #7! #NextGenerationAircraft #EuropeanAircraft #Aircraft #Aviation #falconproject #HorizonEU #HorizonEurope #Technologie
📌The first lecture of the “Introduction to Aerospace Engineering” workshop will be delivered by Dr. Oshin Peroomian, CTO at Metacomp Technologies Inc.

Last semester, for our Applied Optimal Control and Estimation class project, David Hickey, Nicholas Craig, Shawn Prosky and I created a robust model predictive controller for transfers in the circular restricted three body problem with state estimation. Our project utilizes numerous techniques (optimal control theory, model predictive control, square root extended Kalman filter, linearization about the optimal transfer) cohesively to generate a transfer trajectory between a state in a circular lunar orbit and a state in a L1 northern halo orbit that is robust to initial state uncertainty, measurement noise, and execution error. Here is a video of our closed loop model predictive controller that I visualized using my 6DOF visualization library, bpsci (https://lnkd.in/dg-MpZKE) that we showcased in our final presentation.
