10 years ago (Nov 12th, 2014), #Rosetta's #Philae performed the first-ever #soft#landing on Comet 67P. I was lucky to follow the landing #operations from the Lander Control Center. Aa special day that I'll never forget.

Despite all odds, #Milani has been launched aboard his mothership #Hera on a #Falcon 9 rocket. So happy to have contributed to this mission with a high-qualified team at the @DART_Lab_Polimi.
Let's now wait and see how #Didymos will look like in two years!
It’s now official! The research group I lead will take part to @esa’s #Hera mission. At @polimi we will design the guidance, navigation, and control system of the #Milani CubeSat.
We’ll launch in 2024, so ... hammer time!
Back in 2013 I published the paper "On optimal two-impulse Earth–Moon transfers in a four-body model" in which over 200k Earth-Moon transfers were created.
The dataset of transfers is now open and fully accessible at https://t.co/U5GuueMqJY
Qualification Acceptance Review board held yesterday, #HeraMission go to complete last remaining functional tests 🚀 then packing containers for transport to KSC. CONGRATULATIONS to all teams involved, the whole board was impressed by what we achieved in one year of testing 💪🏻
