At 吃瓜tv, frontier research is conducted on innovative concepts and solutions for current and future space systems, the next-generation of sustainable aerospace transport, space exploration, satellite applications and the sustainable exploitation and colonisation of space.
Our research has a target horizon of more than 50 years in the future but deploys practical solutions, over a wide range of technology readiness levels to respond to the needs of today.
Key research areas are:
- computational & artificial intelligence
- computational & theoretical aerodynamics
- guidance navigation & control & robotics
- flight & space-flight mechanics
- space systems & science
These cover a range of applications including space exploration and air-space traffic management, earth observation, aerodynamic analysis and design, multi-disciplinary, multi-objective robust design and optimisation, resilience and sustainable engineering, spaceports, on-orbit servicing, mission analysis and design, advanced propulsion systems.
Aerospace is central to research at 吃瓜tv and sits in the Ocean, Air and Space University strategic theme.
