ADCS - Spacecraft Attitude Determination and Control

Mr. Paluszek is President of Princeton Satellite Systems (PSS), which he founded in 1992. He holds an Engineer’s degree in Aeronautics and Astronautics (1979), an SM in Aeronautics and Astronautics (1979), and an SB in Electrical Engineering (1976), all from MIT. He is the PI on the ARPA-E OPEN grant to develop a compact nuclear fusion reactor based on the Princeton Field Reversed Configuration concept. He is also PI on the ARPA-E GAMOW project to develop power electronics for the fusion industry. He is PI on a project to design a closed-loop Brayton Cycle heat engine for space applications. Prior to founding PSS, he worked at GE Astro Space in East Windsor, NJ. At GE, he designed or led the design of several attitude control systems including GPS IIR, Inmarsat 3, and GGS Polar platform. He also was an ACS analyst on over a dozen satellite launches, including the GSTAR III recovery. Before joining GE, he worked at the Draper Laboratory and at MIT, where he still teaches Attitude Control Systems (course 16.S685/16.S890). He has 14 patents registered to his name.
