Justin Kruger

Justin Kruger is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Space Rendezvous Laboratory. He graduated from the University of Western Australia with a Bachelor of Engineering (Mechatronics) and a Bachelor of Science (Physics), and M.S. and Ph.D. from Stanford University. Previously, he has worked with the NASA Ames Intelligent Robotics Group and the ANU Advanced Instrumentation and Technology Centre. Justin’s research focuses on angles-only navigation for distributed space systems, with a current emphasis on developing optical multi-target tracking algorithms for the NASA Starling-1 mission. These algorithms aim to enable small-satellite formation flying missions in deep space environments, introducing exciting new mission paradigms for space science and exploration.
