Justin Kruger

Justin Kruger is a Ph.D. student 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). 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.
