Overview
Filipe Pereira spent a decade at the European Space Agency, where he developed expertise in satellite navigation, Precise Orbit Determination (POD) for real-time Precise Point Positioning (PPP) services, spacecraft operations with the ROSETTA flight control team, and ground operations for GPS radio occultation research (MetOp). At Cornell University, he designed a custom communications subsystem for a CubeSat mission that won NASA’s CubeQuest Challenge and completed a Ph.D. in Systems Engineering on the multi-objective design of Lunar GNSS constellations. His current research interests include lunar navigation and communications infrastructure, AI-driven cognitive assistants, and space telescope instrument simulations to support planetary science.
