About
Davide Sorli is a researcher at the forefront of space operations, specializing in the design and simulation of contact maneuvers for satellite servicing and debris mitigation. His work centers on developing advanced tools to evaluate capture strategies during berthing and docking operations, a critical challenge for on-orbit servicing and active debris removal. Sorli's key contribution lies in creating a simulation framework that models the dynamics of chaser-target interactions, enabling engineers to minimize contact forces and prevent repulsion or excessive excitation during capture. This research directly addresses the need for precise, low-impact maneuvers essential for safely handling both cooperative satellites and uncooperative space debris. While his most-cited paper, "A Simulation Tool to Evaluate Different Capture Strategies in a Berthing Maneuver" (2024), has garnered early recognition with 1 citation, it represents a foundational step in a rapidly growing field. Sorli's work is particularly notable for its practical application in mission planning, offering a virtual testing ground that reduces risk and cost in real-world space operations. His contributions are poised to have significant impact as the space industry expands its focus on sustainability and in-orbit infrastructure.
