Biography

Luigi Mascolo obtained both the BSc and the MSc in Aerospace Engineering, with honors, at the Politecnico di Torino. His MSc research thesis was carried out at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, NASA, about the feasibility study of electromagnetic launchers (coilgun) to be placed at the lunar south pole. In November 2018 he started the Ph.D. course in Aerospace Engineering in the same institution. His research focus is related to the optimization of the space trajectories with emphasis on the Lagrangian points and the future Lunar Orbital Platform-Gateway (LOP-G, formerly DSG). In May 2019 he founded the DRones Autonomous Flight Team (DRAFT), a student team in which he the team leader, with a personal focus on the optimization of the autonomous navigation trajectories. Since October 2019 he is teaching assistant in the Spaceflight Mechanics and Space Propulsion courses, at the Politecnico di Torino, in the MSc in Aerospace Engineering.
