A forgotten theorem from Weierstrass helps boosting Trajectory design and Planetary Science.

Bees land like spacecraft

Experiments on bees revealed they use time-to-contact to land, just as previously proposed and studied by ACT scientists for spacecraft and Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs)

ACT Research Project of the day

Super-resolution image reconstruction for PROBA-V satellite01 Mar 2018 Due to theoretical, practical, and cost constraints, every satellite imaging system produces images with limited spatial resolution. Nevertheless, it is possible to enhance the resolution of the images acquired by means of image post-processing algorithms. The ACT is studying the possibility to apply such techniques to the PROBA-V satellite.
