Welcome to the Intelligent Space Systems Laboratory
We are a research group at the UTokyo Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Our aim is to realize “intelligent” space systems that open up the frontiers of space science, technology, and exploration.
To this end, we are conducting research on spacecraft guidance, navigation, and control, spacecraft autonomy and intelligence, and systems engineering (see Research). We are also actively developing smallsats for cutting-edge space science and exploration (see Space Missions)
We are looking for passionate new PhD students, Postdocs, and Master students to join the team (more info) !
