Space Engineering Podcast

Juan Arrieta, PhD | Spacecraft Trajectory Optimization & Navigation, Artemis, Cassini, Europa Clipper | Space Engineering Podcast 2

Episode Summary

Juan Arrieta, PhD specializes in spacecraft trajectory optimization and deep space mission design. He worked at JPL for over 7 years after finishing his PhD at Carnegie Melon, and is now the Founder and CEO of Nabla Zero Labs (he is my boss!). In this episode, we discuss our work at Nabla Zero Labs for Artemis (trajectory optimization, navigation, and scheduling), Earth-Moon trajectories, differential equations and ODE solvers, interplanetary trajectory design, outer planet mission design (Cassini and Europa Clipper), deep space orbit determination, inertial reference frames, NASA SPICE software, software engineering in general, and more.
