Mobility and Science operations On An Asteroid Using a Hopping Small Spacecraft on Stilts
H. Kalita, S. Schwartz, E. Asphaug +1
There are thousands of asteroids in near-Earth space and millions in the Main Belt. They are diverse in physical properties and composition and are time capsules of the early solar…
An Information Theoretic Approach to Sample Acquisition and Perception in Planetary Robotics
Garrett Fleetwood, Jekan Thangavelautham
An important and emerging component of planetary exploration is sample retrieval and return to Earth. Obtaining and analyzing rock samples can provide unprecedented insight into th…
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…
An Experimental Platform for Multi-spacecraft Phase-Array Communications
Aaditya Ravindran, Ravi Teja Nallapu, Andrew Warren +3
The emergence of small satellites and CubeSats for interplanetary exploration will mean hundreds if not thousands of spacecraft exploring every corner of the solar-system. Current…
A Cubesat Centrifuge for Long Duration Milligravity Research
Erik Asphaug, Jekan Thangavelautham, Andrew Klesh +5
We advocate a low-cost strategy for long-duration research into the 'milligravity' environment of asteroids, comets and small moons, where surface gravity is a vector field typical…
