A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Dr. Gregory E. Chamitoff is the Zachry Chair Professor of Practice in Aerospace Engineering, and Director of the AeroSpace Technology Research & Operations (ASTRO) Laboratory at Texas A&M University. His research includes space robotics, autonomous systems, and the development of collaborative VR simulation environments for space system engineering and mission design. Originally from Montreal, Canada, he served as a NASA Astronaut for 15 years, including Shuttle Missions STS-124, 126, 134 and Space Station long duration missions Expedition 17 and 18. He lived and worked in Space for almost 200 days as a Flight Engineer, Science Officer, and Mission Specialist. His last mission was on the final flight of Space Shuttle Endeavour, during which he performed two spacewalks, including the last of the Shuttle era, which also completed the assembly of the International Space Station. In Mission Control, Chamitoff served as a flight controller and later as Lead CAPCOM in support of ongoing missions. Chamitoff earned his B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Cal Poly, M.S. in Aeronautics from Caltech, and Ph.D. in Aeronautics and Astronautics from MIT. He also holds a minor and a Master’s in Planetary (Space) Science. A recipient of two NASA Spaceflight Medals and the NASA Exceptional and Distinguished Service Medals, he was inducted into the California Space Authority Astronaut Hall of Fame. Dr. Chamitoff serves as the Board Chair for the Texas Space Grant Consortium and is an AIAA Associate Fellow.

Dr. Srinivas Rao Vadali is Professor and Interim Head of the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Texas A&M University. He received his B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from National Institute of Technology, Rourkela, India, M.E. in Aeronautical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Science, and Ph.D. in Engineering Science and Mechanics from Virginia Tech, and has more than 37 years of academic teaching and research experience. He has made significant contributions in the areas of satellite attitude control and orbital mechanics. He is a co-author of the book Spacecraft Formation Flying: Dynamics, Control and Navigation. He has served as Associate Editor of the AIAA Journal of Guidance, Control, and Dynamics and the International Journal of Aerospace Engineering. He is a Fellow of the AAS and an AIAA Associate Fellow. He has received the AIAA Mechanics and Control of Flight Award and the AAS Dirk Brouwer Award, and serves as the Associate Director for the Texas Space Grant Consortium.
