An Intelligent Autonomous Executive for cFS Distributed Spacecraft Missions
SBC: EMERGENT SPACE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Topic: T1102Distributed Spacecraft Missions (DSM) have become increasingly important in the effort to extend the capabilities of instruments to gather critical Earth and Space science data. DSMs, which include constellations, formations and clusters, have already been employed and have been proposed for several future space science missions. The Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission is a current Solar-terre ...

AstroCube: An Asteroid Prospecting CubeSat Mission
SBC: BUSEK CO., INC. Topic: T402Busek, in partnership with Arizona State University (ASU), proposes to develop a robotic resource prospecting mission to a near-Earth asteroid using a 6U CubeSat, nicknamed "AstroCube". This ambitious mission is enabled by Busek's iodine-fueled BIT-3 RF ion propulsion system that can deliver ~1mN of thrust and ~2200sec of total Isp with 65W nominal input power. With 1.6kg of solid iodine propell ...

Thin Film Lithium Niobate Microring Modulators for Analog Photonics
SBC: PARTOW TECHNOLOGIES LLC Topic: T802Lithium niobate (LiNbO3) has been long regarded as the most attractive material for electro-optic modulation for high-performance optical communication systems of up to 100 GHz, as well as for its superior second-order optical non-linearity. The weakly confined LiNbO3 waveguides formed by diffusion or implantation of dopants do not lend themselves to high-level chip integration. One key novel tech ...

High Performance Image Processing Algorithms for Current and Future Mastcam Imagers
SBC: Applied Research LLC Topic: T801We propose high performance image processing algorithms that will support current and future Mastcam imagers. The algorithms fuses the acquired Mastcam stereo images at different wavelengths to generate multispectral image cubes which can then be used for both anomaly detection and rough composition estimation from relatively longer distances when compared to LIBS instrument. To address the challe ...

The Small Mixed Field Autonomous Radiation Tracker (SMART) Dosimeter
SBC: RADIATION MONITORING DEVICES, INC. Topic: T602Active dosimeters for astronauts and space weather monitors are critical tools for mitigating radiation induced health issues or system failure on capital equipment. Commercial spaceflight, deep space flight, and satellites require smarter, smaller, and lower power dosimeters. There are a number of instruments with flight heritage, yet as identified in NASA's roadmaps, this technology does not l ...
