Network of Nano-Landers for In-Situ Characterization of Asteroid Impact Studies
Himangshu Kalita, Erik Asphaug, Stephen Schwartz +1
Exploration of asteroids and comets can give insight into the origins of the solar system and can be instrumental in planetary defence and in-situ resource utilization (ISRU). Aste…
Multirobot Cliff Climbing on Low-Gravity Environments
Himangshu Kalita, Jekan Thangavelautham
Exploration of extreme environments, including caves, canyons and cliffs on low-gravity surfaces such as the Moon, Mars and asteroids can provide insight into the geological histor…
Guidance, Navigation and Control of Multirobot Systems in Cooperative Cliff Climbing
Himangshu Kalita, Ravi Teja Nallapu, Andrew Warren +1
The application of GNC devices on small robots is a game-changer that enables these robots to be mobile on low-gravity planetary surfaces and small bodies. Use of reaction wheels e…
GNC of the SphereX Robot for Extreme Environment Exploration on Mars
Himangshu Kalita, Ravi Teja Nallapu, Andrew Warren +1
Wheeled ground robots are limited from exploring extreme environments such as caves, lava tubes and skylights. Small robots that can utilize unconventional mobility through hopping…
Automated Design of CubeSats and Small Spacecrafts
Himangshu Kalita, Jekan Thangavelautham
The miniaturization of electronics, sensors and actuators has enabled the growing use of CubeSats and sub-20 kg spacecraft. Their reduced mass and volume has the potential to trans…
