The Space Systems Dynamics and Control (SSDC) group is a highly motivated team of researchers who, under the leadership of Dr. Kumar, are developing the next generation of satellite technology. The goal of the SSDC, along with industry and academic partners, is to develop guidance, control and navigation systems and attitude control systems for miniature spacecrafts including pico-satellites (0.1-1 kg) and femto-satellites (<0.1 kg). Miniature satellites weighing less than one kilogram offer exciting possibilities for scientific research and discoveries in a number of fields. The SSDC investigates the dynamics and control aspects of miniature satellites to further their design and development. This work includes the development of micro-electromechanical systems and nanotechnologies for space systems engineering.
