Dornerworks is seeking to develop as part of this SBIR project the QuickSAT-ARLX Space Hypervisor, a space qualified hypervisor that will support the virtualization of satellite payloads, systems and software modules on a full range of satellites including CubeSATs and MicroSATs to large satellites and launch vehicles. ARLX is an extended version of the open source Xen hypervisor utilizing robust ...

Federal Aviation Administration Advisory Circular 20-107B provides guidance on the achievement of compliance with Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations regarding airworthiness type certification requirements for composite aircraft structures necessi

Many activities and technological systems prevalent in today’s society – air traffic control and air travel, the power grids, communications, deep-water drilling operations, human spaceflight – are vulnerable to the effects of sudden flares from our Sun. Because the propagation speed for flare emission is the speed of light, it is necessary to forecast these events in order to mitigate thei ...

Over the last decade, it has been noted that offshore wind energy resource development could prove extensively valuable in many areas of our nation’s growth, including continued diversification of our energy supply, more options for cost-competitive electricity in coastal and Great Lakes regions, and economical stimulation through new and lasting infrastructure development. The challenges associ ...

Genome-scale predictable cellular design and engineering of biomanufacturing systems is the overarching a goal of DARPA's Living Foundry thrust and, if realized, will enable rapid engineering of living biosystems for a broad range of applications in biotechnology and pharmacology. However, constructing living cells with designed genome is not fully automated and is severely limited by inhere ...

Our Multi-national Space Situational Awareness Interface (MSSAI) program builds on our experience developing the Joint Space Operations Center (JSpOC) Mission System (JMS) User-Definable Operational Picture (UDOP), and will reuse large amounts of the technology. This will enable the development of a preliminary prototype to prove the feasibility of key supplementary technologies. Key new technol ...

The research objective of this proposal is to demonstrate a semi-automated association process based upon photometric and astrometric data collected by deep space sensors for UnCorrelated Tracks (UCTs) found in and near the Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO) regime. We will derive a method for parameterizing photometric data such that it can be fused with astrometric (kinematic) parameters, some of ...

Composite structures are the future of aviation. They reduce weight and improve fuel efficiency. Composite structures are now incorporated into aircraft by all major aerospace manufacturers. Many composite structures are assembled with fasteners, but, to meet future design requirements, manufacturers need adhesive bonding for their composite structures. In order for the industry to determine t ...

Orbital Research Inc (Cleveland, Ohio) with industry partner Cobham Mission Systems Division (Orchard Park, New York) intends to develop a Microsystem for Controlling Warfighter Physiology. This solution will enable extreme dive profiles involving free fall, combat dives and sustained exposure to altitude during extraction. The Orbital Research solution will draw upon state of the art breathing ...

Advances in biodegradable materials have allowed the development of a variety of resorbable medical devices that do no need to be removed at the end of their service because they degrade within the body into not toxic by-products. However, devices that contain electronic components are still nearly all non-degradable because of the lack of biodegradable conducting and semiconducting materials. T ...
