Safe Autonomy for Multi-Vehicle Rendezvous Proximity Operations of Under-Actuated Satellites
SBC: TOYON RESEARCH CORPORATION Topic: AF21STCSO1This rise of low-cost, private spaceflight has increased accessibility and potential of earth orbit missions and beyond. In tandem low cost space vehicles, such as micro or nanosatellites, have emerged as a flexible platform for testing or deploying exper

On-Orbit Operations and Mission Planning in Minutes, not Hours
SBC: MICROSURGEONBOT INC Topic: AF21STCSO1MSBAI proposes to adapt our ‘Universal Interface for Simulation’ called GURU to provide a comprehensive intelligent environment to run trajectory design and mission planning, and orbital dynamics analysis specific to on-orbit operations. Simulation support of these operations will be significantly scaled by reducing the time, labor, and expertise required to leverage space mission design, opti ...

Mating/De-Mating Monitoring System
SBC: METIS DESIGN CORP Topic: AF21STCSO1Resident Space Object (RSO) acquisition is critical to future USSF operations. Orbiting objects will need to be serviced, repaired, refueled, decommissioned or brought into a different orbit. There are several concepts being investigated where RSO would b

An In-situ On-orbit impact damage monitoring system for Space Structures
SBC: ACELLENT TECHNOLOGIES INC Topic: AF21STCSO1Space-based assets form the backbone of today’s communication, navigation, and defense industries. Satellites can suffer unexpected damage during their lifetimes from impacts with other vehicles, micrometeoroids, and other space debris. On-orbit Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing (OSAM) can vastly expand the performance, availability, resilience, and lifetime of satellite systems compared to ...

Deployable Capture Device for Orbit Debris
SBC: L'GARDE, INC. Topic: AF21STCSO1L.Garde, Inc. is proposing to develop DeCaDe (Deployable Capture Device) in response the Air Force solicitation for active debris removal. DeCaDe is designed to be a compact sub-assembly which can be attached to a spacecraft, and when in close proximity deploy a net to capture the targeted orbiting debris. DeCaDe can provide permanent engagements for de-orbiting missions or reversible engagements ...

US-RIPTIDE – Unknown Satellite Realtime Inspection, Pose, Tracking and IDEntification
SBC: SCIENTIFIC SYSTEMS CO INC Topic: AF21STCSO1Scientific Systems Company, Inc. (SSCI) proposes a low-cost, unified, monocular image processing solution of characterizing uncooperative and unknown on-orbit spacecraft to support on-orbit servicing operations including on-orbit inspection, characterization, life extension, capture planning, end-of-life servicing and potential active debris removal (ADR) as required in the developing On-Orbit Ser ...

Orbital Debris Removal System (ODRS)
SBC: ORBITAL COMPOSITES, INC. Topic: AF21STCSO1Orbital Composites’ Orbital Debris Removal System (ODRS) is a novel concept that can remove millions of pieces of debris ranging in size from miniscule to very large at 50-100X lower cost than currently proposed solutions. Thousands of very long carbon fibers may be attached to a 6-12U CubeSat. A large ORB of de-orbiting tethers suspended in zero-G would automatically static charge-weld themselv ...

Passive Orbital Debris Deployable Collector (PODDC)
SBC: GREENSIGHT INC. Topic: AF21STCSO1GreenSight (GS), teamed with Oklahoma State University (OSU), propose a passive capture approach utilizing an aerogel based impact absorption surface. Aerogel is the highest specific density kinetic absorption approach, has long on orbit lifetime, and is self healing from impacts. GS and OSU propose to finalize technical and business analysis of a mission concept based on this approach, which the ...

Enhanced Electrodynamic Tethers for High Altitude Deorbit Operations
SBC: PHYSICAL SCIENCES INC. Topic: AF21STCSO1Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) is partnering with Brookhaven National Lab (BNL) and Tethers Unlimited Inc. (TUI) to combine PSI’s patent-pending passive cathode coatings and devices developed for spacecraft electrostatic discharge mitigation with TUI’s flight-proven, TRL9, tether-based deorbit system. The synergy of these technologies will rapidly result in a passive high altitude electrodynamic ...
