Combining tradespace exploration with system dynamics to explore future space architectures
This work proposes a merger of Tradespace Exploration with System Dynamics modeling techniques in a complementary approach. It tests the value of this mixed method for modeling the multiplicity of inputs and complexity of feedback loops that affect the cost, schedule and performance of satellite …

Exploring design and policy options for orbital infrastructure projects
The space industry is currently at a significant inflection point. New economies are forming in low- Earth orbit (LEO), driven by miniaturization of technologies and the promise of lower launch costs, which should then allow many of these LEO systems to capitalize on designs incorporating smaller, …

Design and characterization of aromatic thermosetting copolyester resin for polymer matrix nanocomposites
… to develop multifunctional reconfigurable in-space architectures for deep-space missions. The bonding/debonding mechanism displays >50 times repeated cycles through predominantly cohesive failure along with high glass transition temperature and bonding strength required for relevant …

Supporting Space Systems Design via Systems Dependency Analysis Methodology
<p>The increasing size and complexity of space systems and space missions pose severe challenges to space systems engineers. When complex systems and Systems-of-Systems are involved, the behavior of the whole entity is not only due to that of the individual systems involved but also to the …
