About
Yevgeny Somov is a distinguished researcher specializing in spacecraft guidance, navigation, and control, with a particular focus on free-flying space robots and land-survey mini-satellites. His work addresses some of the most technically demanding challenges in modern astronautics, including autonomous rendezvous with noncooperative space vehicles, attitude determination, and precise orbit control in complex operational environments. Somov's major contributions span the development of onboard discrete algorithms for astroinertial attitude calibration and verification, nonlinear digital and pulse-width control strategies for geostationary satellite proximity operations, and fault-tolerant gyromoment control systems capable of reconfiguring around equipment failures. His research on space robot-manipulators capturing passive satellites in sun-synchronous orbits represents particularly impactful applied work, bridging theoretical control methods with practical in-orbit servicing scenarios. Across his most cited publications, Somov has accumulated over 80 citations, with his 2017 paper on astroinertial calibration and his 2014 guidance and motion control study leading his portfolio. His sustained output from 2014 through 2022 demonstrates a career-long commitment to advancing autonomous spacecraft systems, making his work an essential reference for researchers and engineers working in space robotics, satellite operations, and precision attitude control.
