Quantifying flexibility in the operationally responsive space paradigm
Designing complex space systems that will deliver value in the presence of an uncertain future is difficult. As space system lifetimes are now measured in decades, the systems face increased risk from uncertain future contexts. Tradespace exploration increases the designer's system knowledge during …

Responsive Space Environments: New Paradigms in Blending Virtual and Physical Exploration through Human-Robot Operations
As humanity wanders further into space, the integration of robotics and virtual environments in space systems becomes increasingly pivotal, augmenting our capacity to explore, interact, and study remote environments. This research delves into the use cases, benefits, and challenges associated with …

Image collection optimization in the design and operation of lightweight, low areal-density space telescopes
Demand for space imagery has increased dramatically over the past several decades. Scientific and government agencies rely on Earth-observing space assets for a variety of functions, including mapping, agriculture, and intelligence. In recent years, online interactive mapping services have created …

Structural assesment of joints in satellites using guided waves
The intention of the Air Forces Responsive Space Initiative Project is to develop procedures and technologies necessary to produce a satellite within six days from the initial order. Modular satellite designs have been proposed to help streamline the process of preparing a satellite for deployment. …
