Super excited to be starting the spring semester in a new job as an associate professor of AeroAstro at MIT @mitaeroastro.bsky.social. I'm teaching Spacecraft Attitude Determination and Control, which I'll be posting online if anyone wants to follow along: github.com/zacmancheste...

PhD student Fausto Vega presenting his work on collision avoidance maneuver planning for spacecraft at the ISpaRo conference in Sendai. This work is super nice because we found a convex optimization formulation of the problem that comes with safety, performance, and convergence guarantees.

End of an era as Kevin Tracy defends his PhD. Kevin has been with the lab since the very beginning at Stanford, through the move to CMU. He's done amazing optimization-based control work with applications spanning aerospace and robotics and it has been an absolute pleasure working with him.
