Space mission realization for lunar, planetary, asteroid, and deep-space exploration.
“A great discovery solves a great problem, but there is a grain of discovery in the solution of any problem. Your problem may be modest, but if it challenges your curiosity and brings into play your friends, and if you solve it together, you may experience the tension and enjoy the triumph of discovery.”
ART welcomes motivated students interested in astrodynamics, optimization, orbital mechanics, planetary defense, and space mission design.
Students who want to build the future of South Korea's space exploration missions through theory, computation, and practical mission analysis are encouraged to contact the lab.
Trajectory design that exploits the natural architecture of space. Research areas include manifold dynamics, multi-body environments in the Earth-Moon and Sun-Earth systems, Lagrange-point pathways, ballistic lunar transfers, and resonance orbit structures that reveal mission opportunities beyond conventional two-body design.
Optimization strategies that transform complex mission concepts into executable flight trajectories. Research topics span low-thrust and impulsive maneuver design, gravity-assist sequencing, homotopy-based optimization, resonance-transition design, and control-surface analysis for deep-space, lunar, and heliophysics missions.
End-to-end mission architectures that connect theory, computation, and operations. Mission concepts include asteroid reconnaissance and kinetic impact, long-term magnetosphere science orbits, heliophysics missions from Lagrange regions, lunar transfer systems, and practical spacecraft operations strategies for future exploration.
