Michael Paluszek is President of Princeton Satellite Systems, Inc. (PSS) in Plainsboro, New Jersey. Mr. Paluszek founded PSS in 1992 to provide aerospace consulting services. He used MATLAB to develop the control system and simulations for the Indostar-1 geosynchronous communications satellite. This led to the launch of Princeton Satellite Systems' first commercial MATLAB toolbox, the Spacecraft Control Toolbox, in 1995. Since then he has developed toolboxes and software packages for aircraft, submarines, robotics, and nuclear fusion propulsion, resulting in Princeton Satellite Systems' current extensive product line. He is working with the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory on a compact nuclear fusion reactor for energy generation and space. Mr. Paluszek is a lecturer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
propulsion. He is also leading the development of new power electronics for fusion power systems and working on heat-engine-based auxiliary power systems for spacecraft. Prior to founding PSS, Mr. Paluszek was an engineer at GE Astro Space in East Windsor, NJ. At GE he designed the Global Geospace Science Polar despun platform control system and led the design of the GPS IIR attitude control system, the Inmarsat-3 attitude control systems, and the Mars Observer delta-V control system, leveraging MATLAB for control design. Mr. Paluszek also worked on the attitude determination system for the DMSP meteorological satellites. Mr. Paluszek flew communication satellites on over twelve satellite launches, including the GSTAR III recovery, the first transfer of a satellite to an operational orbit using electric thrusters.At Draper Laboratory Mr. Paluszek worked on the Space Shuttle, Space Station, and submarine naviga- tion. His Space Station work included designing Control Moment Gyro-based control systems for attitude control.
Mr. Paluszek received his bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, and master's and engineer's degrees in Aeronautics and Astronautics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is the author of numerous papers and has over a dozen U.S. Patents. Mr. Paluszek is the author of "MATLAB Recipes", "MATLAB Machine Learning," "Practical MATLAB Deep Learning, A Projects-Based Approach, Second Edition," all published by Apress, and "ADCS: Spacecraft Attitude Determination and Control Systems by Elsevier."
Stephanie Thomas is Vice President of Princeton Satellite Systems, Inc. in Plainsboro, New Jersey. She received her bachelor's and master's degrees in Aeronautics and Astronautics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1999 and 2001. Ms. Thomas was introduced to the PSS Spacecraft Control Toolbox for MATLAB during a summer internship in 1996 and has been using MATLAB for aerospace analysis ever since. In her nearly 20 years of MATLAB experience, she has developed many software tools including the Solar Sail Module for the Spacecraft Control Toolbox; a proximity satellite operations toolbox for the Air Force; collision monitoring Simulink blocks for the Prisma satellite mission; and launch vehicle analysis tools in MATLAB and Java, She has developed novel methods for space situation assessment such as
a numeric approach to assessing the general rendezvous problem between any two satellites implemented in both MATLAB and C++. Ms. Thomas has contributed to PSS' Attitude and Orbit Control textbook, featuring examples using the Spacecraft Control Toolbox, and written many software User's Guides. She has conducted SCT training for engineers from diverse locales such as Australia, Canada, Brazil, and Thailand and has performed MATLAB consulting for NASA, the Air Force, and the European Space Agency. Ms. Thomas is the author of "MATLAB Recipes" and "MATLAB Machine Learning" and "Practical MATLAB Deep Learning Projects" and 'Practical MATLAB Deep Learning Projects Version 2" published by Apress. In 2016, Ms. Thomas was named a NASA NIAC Fellow for the project "Fusion-Enabled Pluto Orbiter and Lander". Stephanie is an Associate Fellow of the AIAA and a member of the AIAA Propulsion and Energy Group.You may return most new, unopened items within 30 days of delivery for a full refund.
