Investigating Asteroid Surface Geophysics with an Ultra-Low-Gravity Centrifuge in Low-Earth Orbit
Stephen R. Schwartz, Jekan Thangavelautham, Erik Asphaug +3
Near-Earth small-body mission targets 162173 Ryugu, 101955 Bennu, and 25143 Itokawa produce gravity fields around 4 orders of magnitude below that of Earth and their irregular shap…
Planetary Exploration Using CubeSat Deployed Sailplanes
Adrien Bouskela, Alexandre Kling, Aman Chandra +3
Exploration of terrestrial planets such as Mars are conducted using orbiters, landers and rovers. Cameras and instruments onboard orbiters have enabled global mapping of Mars at lo…
Autonomous Multirobot Technologies for Mars Mining Base Construction and Operation
Jekan Thangavelautham, Aman Chandra, Erik Jensen
Beyond space exploration, the next critical step towards living and working in space requires developing a space economy. One important challenge with this space-economy is ensurin…
Grid-based Localization Stack for Inspection Drones towards Automation of Large Scale Warehouse Systems
Ashwary Anand, Shubh Agrawal, Shivang Agrawal +2
SLAM based techniques are often adopted for solving the navigation problem for the drones in GPS denied environment. Despite the widespread success of these approaches, they have n…
End to End Satellite Servicing and Space Debris Management
Aman Chandra, Himangshu Kalita, Roberto Furfaro +1
There is growing demand for satellite swarms and constellations for global positioning, remote sensing and relay communication in higher LEO orbits. This will result in many obsole…
Attitude Control of an Inflatable Sailplane for Mars Exploration
Adrien Bouskela, Aman Chandra, Jekan Thangavelautham +1
Exploration of Mars has been made possible using a series of landers, rovers and orbiters. The HiRise camera on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has captured high-resolution i…
