INSTRUCTOR

Bong Wie is Professor Emeritus of Aerospace Engineering at Iowa State University. He holds a B.S. in aerospace engineering from Seoul National University and a M.S. and Ph.D. in aeronautics and astronautics from Stanford University. In 2006, he received AIAA’s Mechanics and Control of Flight Award for his innovative research on advanced control of complex spacecraft such as solar sails, large flexible structures, and agile imaging satellites equipped with control moment gyros. He is the author of two AIAA textbooks: “Space Vehicle Dynamics and Control(2^nd edition, 2008)” and “Space Vehicle Guidance, Control, and Astrodynamics (2015).” He has published 219 technical papers, including 82 journal articles. He holds three US patents on singularity-avoidance steering logic of control moment gyros. In the early 2010s, he was actively involved in guidance, control, and astrodynamics research for deflecting or disrupting hazardous near-Earth objects (NEO). During 2011-2014, he was an NIAC (NASA Advanced Innovative Concepts) Fellow for developing an innovative solution to NASA’s NEO impact threat mitigation grand challenge and its flight validation mission design. His NIAC study effort has resulted in two distinct concepts for effectively disrupting hazardous asteroids with short warning time. They are referred to as a hypervelocity asteroid intercept vehicle (HAIV) and a multiple kinetic-energy impactor vehicle (MKIV). During the late 2010s, his research focused on further developing the ZEM/ZEV feedback guidance strategies for robotic/human Mars precision powered descent & landing with hazard avoidance and retargeting. Since 2020, he has been investigating the guidance and control problems of hypersonic entry vehicles as well as high-performance missiles with precision impact time and angle control (ITAC) constraints. He was Associate Editor of AIAA Journal of Guidance, Control, and Dynamics (1986-1991) and AAS Journal of the Astronautical Sciences (1993-1995). During 2018-2023, he was co-Editor of Astrodynamics, an international journal established in 2018. A variety of on-demand short courses by Dr. Wie are available from AIAA, as:

• Fundamentals of Space Vehicle Guidance, Control, and Astrodynamics
• Fundamentals of Classical Astrodynamics and Applications
