Marco Zannoni is senior assistant professor of Space Systems at the Department of Industrial Engineering of the University of Bologna. Since 2010 is member of the Radio Science and Planetary Exploration Laboratory, participating in radio science experiments of deep space missions, working on data analysis and orbit determination for geodesy applications. His research interests include orbit determination and navigation of small satellites in deep space. Marco Zannoni actively participated to over 15 national and international research projects, with both public institutions (ASI, MIUR, ESA, EU) and Italian and European companies and industrial groups. He was member of the science team of several deep space missions including NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini-Huygens to the Saturn system, ESA BepiColombo mission to Mercury, NASA Juno mission to Jupiter, ESA JUICE (JUpiter ICy moons Explorer) mission to the Jupiter system, NASA DART mission to impact the binary asteroid Didymos, ESA Hera mission to the binary asteroid Didymos (post-impact survey), and NASA Europa Clipper to Europa. Recently, he was responsible for the operational orbit determination activities of the ASI deep space CubeSats LICIACube (released by the NASA DART mission, fly-by of binary asteroid Didymos) and ArgoMoon (launched with Artemis-1 mission, flyb-by of the Moon). Currently, Marco Zannoni is the leader of the University of Bologna team within ASI project DEEP-NAV, for the development of an autonomous navigation subsystem in the proximity of asteroids using optical navigation. Since 2020 Dr. Zannoni has been member of the Board of the PhD program in Aerospace Science and Technology (DAST) at Università di Bologna. He's co-founder of the spin-off company “Nautilus – Navigation in Space”.
