Keynote Speaker:
University of Florida Aerospace Professor
Norman Fitz-Coy

Dr. Norman G. Fitz-Coy is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Florida, where he has been a faculty member since 1996. His research interests include dynamics and control of multi-body systems, game theory, orbital dynamics, and flight mechanics. Dr. Fitz-Coy has made significant contributions to the field of aerospace engineering, particularly in the area of small satellite development, focusing on spacecraft attitude control and precision pointing technologies.
​
Throughout his career, Dr. Fitz-Coy has been instrumental in leading innovative satellite missions such as SwampSat and SwampSat II. SwampSat, a student-developed nanosatellite, validated a compact three-axis attitude actuator for rapid retargeting and precision pointing. SwampSat II, launched in November 2019, expanded on this legacy by using a 3U-class CubeSat to study very low frequency (VLF) electromagnetic wave propagation in the upper ionosphere. These projects not only advanced the understanding of space science but also provided students with invaluable hands-on experience, reinforcing Dr. Fitz-Coy’s commitment to integrating education with research.
​
Dr. Fitz-Coy earned his Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from Auburn University in 1990. With over 150 technical publications and active membership in professional organizations like the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, he continues to be a leading figure in aerospace education and research. His dedication to fostering the next generation of engineers and his contributions to the field reflect his enduring impact on both academia and the aerospace community.
