Ever wondered how engineers save a spacecraft that's tumbling out of control — or what it feels like to watch your rocket disappear into the sky for the first time? Attitude Control tells the untold engineering stories behind humanity's greatest space missions. Hosted by Gaetano Livornese, a GNC engineer who's worked on both launch vehicles and orbital systems across Europe, each episode turns complex spacecraft technology into gripping, accessible storytelling. From dramatic mission rescues to the spinning devices that keep every satellite alive, this is space engineering like you've never

On June 4th, 1996, the Ariane 5 launched for the first time. 37 seconds later, ten years of development, seven billion dollars, and four scientific satellites were gone. Every system on board performed exactly as designe
Show notesEveryone knows the Apollo 13 story. The explosion. The duct tape. "Houston, we've had a problem." But almost nobody talks about the part that actually saved the crew: the guidance system. This episode tells Apollo 13 fro
Show notesWhen the VEGA rocket's P80 solid booster ignites, you can't throttle it, you can't shut it down, and you can't restart it. For 107 seconds, the only steering is a nozzle that tilts five degrees. That's the gravity turn —
Show notesIn 2012, the Kepler Space Telescope lost a reaction wheel. A year later, a second one failed. NASA said the mission was over. But one engineer had a wild idea: what if you could use sunlight itself as an attitude control
Show notesThe engineering, the failures, the hacks, and the brilliant humans behind every mission that's ever left this planet. Attitude Control is a podcast about how spacecraft know which way they're pointing — and what happens
