Dr. Simone D'Amico

Dr. D’Amico is a professor in the Aeronautics and Astronautics Department and the Satellites Team Faculty Advisor. His work is in development of strategies for CubeSat formation flight. Prior to Stanford, he worked at DLR, where he was involved in several multi-satellite (not CubeSat) missions that involved precise relative alignment. His lab is attempting a formation CubeSat mission. This mission will likely be a telescope occulter system, in which one CubeSat acts as an imager and the other as the occulter.
