Dual-Filter Approach to Trust in Hybrid Human-Machine Systems
SBC: INFINITY LABS LLC Topic: T10Autonomous systems, when subjected to novel environments and tasks, suffer from issues with unknown unknowns. Under these circumstances, human intervention is frequently required. In deep space, such as a manned mission to Mars, communications with Earth require minutes round trip, effectively removing a typical safety net for the astronauts onboard when dealing with autonomous systems and sensors ...

Climate Enhancing Resource Utilization Through Ultra-low-temperature, Electrolytic Carbon Dioxide Valorization on Mars
SBC: Faraday Technology, Inc. Topic: T7Supporting human life on long-tern space exploration missions, such as manned missions to the surface of Mars, require sustainable resource utilization with minimal support from Earth. In response to this need, NASArsquo;s in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) mission was put in place to provide a sustainable infrastructure for long-tern missions, such as exploration of extraterrestrial planets. One ...

An Intelligent and Wireless Communication Enabled Plasma Probe for Full Scale Rocket Testing
SBC: SPECTRAL ENERGIES LLC Topic: T13The development of rocket propulsion systems requires rigorous testing. Technology with low-technology readiness levels (TRL) can be proven in small scaled down experiments. However, components and systems with higher-TRLs must be tested at full-scale conditions. These full-scale tests usually require numerous non-homogenous sensors and instrumentation meticulously placed over large distances that ...

Adaptive Neuromorphic Processors for Cognitive Communications
SBC: BRISK COMPUTING LLC Topic: H6The objective of this work is to develop highly Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) efficient neuromorphic processors that can train deep learning algorithms. The training phase for deep learning is very compute and data intensive. Being able to train a network on the satellite eliminates the need to send large volumes of data to earth for training a new network. However, this requires an extremely ene ...

Wall Shear Measurement Technology for Plume Surface Interactions
SBC: Ahmic Aerospace LLC Topic: Z7Exploration of the Moon, or Mars, will require the development of landing vehicles, whose primary task is to decelerate its cargo and safely touch down on the surface. However, this is not a trivial task for these types of environments. As the jet/plume from the rocket engine, used to decelerate the vehicle, encounters the surface, the low atmospheric pressure, low gravity, and cohesive soil prope ...

Radiation-Tolerant, Scalable Neuromorphic Energy-Efficient Accelerator for Heterogeneous Processor Systems
SBC: NIOBIUM MICROSYSTEMS INC Topic: H6The accelerator developed by Niobium Microsystems, Inc. (Niobium) is scalable in terms of parallelism and memory capacity, so that it can be targeted towards a variety of platforms, from small battery operated devices to large high-performance compute systems. It also has the ability to perform online learning when operating on neuromorphic workloads, drawing inspiration from the Hebbian learning ...

Single Event Burnout Hardened High-power Diamond Devices
SBC: EUCLID BEAMLABS LLC Topic: Z1Electrical power management designed for use in spacenbsp;requiresnbsp;electronics capable of operating without damage in the galactic cosmic ray space radiation environment. Unfortunately, the adoption ofnbsp; SiC and GaN technology into space applications is hindered by their susceptibility to permanent degradation and catastrophic failure from single-event effect heavy-ion exposure. This degrad ...

LAser Navigation, Detection, and steering, LANDs
SBC: EXCITING TECHNOLOGY LLC Topic: Z7Exciting Technology is developing revolutionary optical beam steering technology that will make NASA lidars more capable, smaller, lighter, and cheaper. This technology can steer relatively large beams to wide angles without bulky hardware. Todayrsquo;s optical beam steering technology for large apertures and wide angles is restricted to classic gimbals, which are expensive and bulky, or possibly ...

Extraction and Utilization of Water and Gases from Icy Lunar Regolith
SBC: Faraday Technology, Inc. Topic: Z12NASArsquo;s in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) mission is to put in place a sustainable infrastructure that will allow human habitation on Moon with minimal support from earth. One particular resource available on the lunar permanently shadowed regions (PSRs) is the icy regolith which consists of icy water and volatile components (e.g., H2S, NH3, SO2, C2H4, CO2, CH3OH, CH4). Recovered water and v ...

Autonomous Mission Planning for Aircraft
SBC: CORNERSTONE RESEARCH GROUP INC Topic: A2The increased use of autonomy in aircraft can offer a number of benefits including faster response times, ability to utilize more incoming sensor data, and reduced reliance on highly trained personnel. Developers, integrators, and regulators of autonomous technologies must build trust within the aircraft community that these technologies are capable of operating in spaces formerly occupied by mann ...
