The 75th International Astronautical Congress (IAC) 2024, organized by the International Astronautical Federation was held in Milan, Italy 14th - 18th October, hosted by Associazione Italiana di Aeronautica e Astronautica (AIDIAA) and co-hosted by Agenzia Spaziale Italiana (ASI) and Leonardo. Under the credo of responsible space for sustainability, the congress was spot-on relevant for QBDebris, with great technical sessions and company exhibition halls that went on forever. For one full week, we were able to connect with several companies of interest to our project and our planned Centre for sustainable space operations.

As part of the interactive sessions, our PhD student Alessio also presented the paper "New CubeSat Missions for a Novel Understanding of MM-Sized Space Debris", discussing some preliminary results on differential drag-based control. Well done, Alessio!
