Hi Alfonso. So glad I stumbled upon your wonderful channel. I am a spacecraft engineer with around 11 years of industry experience in India (ISRO) and Germany (EUMETSAT). I worked on AOCS design for 8 years on various types of satellites and now working on AOCS operations of European meteorological satellites in LEO for the last 2.5 years. Your podcast, especially this episode, was pure joy to listen to. I really loved and enjoyed listening to all that Brian had to say. His explaination of Kalman Filter just blew my mind. With my blog "The Drifting Satellite" I hope some day to introduce the beautiful world of AOCS in easily comprehensible everyday things that people can understand and enjoy. Thanks a lot for this. It was quite motivating. All the best!
Just the kind of podcast I've been looking for, amazing work. Super excited for the next one. I've recently graduates as an Aerospace Engineer and have been looking for a job in Control Systems Engineering, and this provided a great insight to what the job entails and made me a whole lot more excited to get started.
Love the constant comparison of tradeoffs, including some that would never occur to the average armchair engineer. These are the kinds of discussions in which long form is ideal. I sincerely hope you are lining up more guests of this caliber and expertise level.
Thank you for the feedback and I'm glad you found this useful! Yes, I've been fortunate to be able to meet and work with lots of very smart engineers, and I'm excited for the opportunity to talk to them. The next one will be this weekend (hopefully) with someone I very much look up to. Here is the link to the preview video: ruclips.net/video/K9Jn21ji6S0/видео.html Also I'm not sure if you saw, but the podcast is also available on Spotify, Google Podcasts, and SimpleCast if you prefer to listen to your podcasts there. And I fixed the audio on those platforms, because unfortunately RUclips doesn't allow for updating audio of the videos after they are published.
If RUclips comments kept Brian going, hopefully this one will keep you going! I found this link in Reddit initially but subscribed to the podcast on Spotify. Awesome show though, please keep it up!

Theres a really good series from a professor at CU Boulder on spacecraft attitude control, I highly recommend it: ruclips.net/video/QrIBZT6SatY/видео.html Unfortunately though it looks like they took the playlist off of youtube, but you can still access it on the CU Boulder website I think. In university we used the book: Spacecraft Dynamics and Control, An Introduction by Ruitter, Damarren and Forbes. I think it does a good job going through the math of euler angles, quaternions, rotation matrices, rigid body dynamics, and control. And the video series I'm working on for spacecraft attitude control with python will be useful as well.
Hey Alfonso I'm an undergraduate student writing a term paper on Asteroid Mining & its economic feasibility. Could you agree to a short interview? If yes, where can I contact you.
Yes of course. The senior design project for my undergrad was a class wide project to develop space mining spacecraft so we did lots of research there on the economics side as well. You can email me at: spaceengineeringpodcast@gmail.com
Thank you for posting the audio levels need attention Brian is clear and crisp, but Alfonso is very hushed making it difficult to hear both parties speaking
I had fixed the audio issues on my computer, but forgot to adjust the settings on the video chat, which is why that happened. Unfortunately youtube doesn't allow any modifications to the videos anymore after they are posted, otherwise I would update the audio. The captions are pretty accurate though. And no worries, this won't be an issue in any future videos

Thank you for the kind words! I'm excited for the next episode, I have someone really great in mind
@@alfonsogonzalez-astrodynam2207 looking forward to it!
love to hear Brian Douglas Matlab Tech Talk...... it's good to hear his story and his point of view in general.
Me too! He is a super nice guy and I learned a lot from talking with him
very useful podcast! looking forward to see more of them! Happy new year!
Happy 2021! Thank you for the feedback
Hey I'm looking forward to the next one! ;)
Me too, there's lots of really smart people in the space industry that I'm excited to learn from!

@Brian any suggestions/prerequisites for beginners who wants to pursue career as a adcs engineer?

Good
Any particular books or contents do you recommend for ADCS?
