    Institute of Space Operation Technology

    1. Introduction

    Relying on the research platform of "National Key Laboratory of Aerospace Flight Dynamics", The institute is a national scientific research force engaged in orbital mechanics, aerospace flight planning and control, space operation and application, flight test and verification, and closely focuses on the development of advanced space operation technology in near-earth flight and deep space exploration. The research focuses on the basic problems of space target approach, acquisition, control and validation, and carries out research work in flight planning and control, space robot, space teleoperation, flight ground-based validation and verify, new control method in uav and other aspects.

    2. Teacher resource

    There are more than 28 permanent staffs ( Dr rate of nearly 96% and 6 fellows obtain overseas doctoral degree), including 4 National experts, 4 fellows of the academic backbone of the excellent young and middle-age people, 12 fellows have senior titles , 11 fellows have vice-senior titles and 5 fellows have junior professional titles..

    3.Academic exchange

    The Institute attaches great importance to international cooperation and encourages young teachers and doctoral students to apply for CSC to study and exchange abroad. At present, the Institute has established cooperative relations with the German Aerospace Center, the University of Toronto, The Technical University of Munich, the Delft Institute of Technology, Stevens Institute of Technology and other international well-known universities and aerospace research institutions, and jointly carry out cutting-edge technology exploration.
