About
Mario Dal Corso is a robotics and aerospace engineer whose research focuses on the dynamics and control of space robotic systems, particularly for active debris removal. His most notable contribution is his master’s thesis, “Modelling, Dynamic Analysis and Robotic Control Strategies for the Deorbiting Operations of the ESA Satellite Envisat” (2016), developed within the European Space Agency’s e.Deorbit project. In this work, Dal Corso analyzed the forces required for deorbiting the massive Envisat satellite, proposing control profiles that prevent detachment between the servicer module and the target when no clamping mechanism is used. This research addresses a critical challenge in space debris mitigation: safely capturing and deorbiting large, non-cooperative objects. While his citation count is modest, the practical significance of his work for future debris removal missions is substantial. Dal Corso’s contributions lie at the intersection of multibody dynamics, robotic manipulation, and orbital mechanics, offering foundational insights for engineers developing autonomous capture and deorbiting technologies. His research continues to inform strategies for sustainable space operations.
