DESCRIPTION:Join us for our next virtual public lecture on April 28th at 7p
 m\, with McGill Prof. Inna Sharf from the Department of Mechanical Enginee
 ring\, as she tells us about her work to help keep the night sky clear of 
 space debris!\n\nSpace debris has become a subject of popular interest in 
 media and in scientific community. The space debris problem\, not so much 
 a problem now\, but a potentially big problem in the future\, can be remed
 iated by using active debris removal strategies. We discuss two prominent 
 technologies for debris capture and our work on robotic and tethered-net c
 apture\, as part of a debris removal mission. Our recent research on space
  debris remediation explores the possibility of exploiting a resonance bet
 ween the effect of solar radiation pressure\, the effect of Earth’s oblate
 ness (J2 perturbation) and rotational motion of debris\, for its deorbitat
 ion. Finally\, we conclude with fundamental results and insights into the 
 rotational motion of the ‘most wanted’ debris in Low Earth Orbit---the def
 unct spacecraft Envisat---and with comparisons between our attitude propag
 ation results and observations of Envisat.\n\nWe invite you to listen to t
 his talk on Youtube and Facebook Live on April 28 at 7pm Eastern! You are 
 welcome to ask questions in the Youtube chat.\n\nSee the Facebook event he
