About

Christian Stangl is a researcher in space systems engineering, with a focus on guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) for robotic on-orbit servicing (OOS) missions. His work centers on developing end-to-end simulation and verification frameworks that integrate both space segment and ground segment operations, enabling realistic testing of complex rendezvous and robotic capture maneuvers. Stangl’s most cited paper (2018, 9 citations) introduces a comprehensive simulation and verification approach for GNC and robotic systems, addressing the critical need for reliable testing before deployment. His notable contribution, the RICADOS system (2018, 5 citations), presents a novel on-board inspection, rendezvous, and robotic capture system designed for orbital servicing tasks such as detumbling and telepresence operations. This work bridges the gap between autonomous space robotics and ground-based human control, advancing the feasibility of future OOS missions. Stangl’s research is impactful for students and engineers working on space debris removal, satellite servicing, and autonomous rendezvous technologies, providing foundational tools for simulating and validating these high-stakes operations.
