AoT Rocket City: Navigating the Unstable Highways of Space

Join us at InnerSpace Brewing Company for food, drinks, and a public talk from Purdue University’s Dr. Maaninee Gupta on “Navigating the Unstable Highways of Space”

The space between the Earth and Moon is bigger and stranger than it might seem. Unlike near Earth orbits, motion in this region is sensitive and often unpredictable, making it difficult to reach, navigate, and track objects. This talk looks at how instability shapes these trajectories, and how hidden patterns like resonances can be used to find more stable paths. Instead of forcing order onto the system, we take advantage of the patterns that exist within the chaos.
