A study of the thermal and optical characteristics of radiometric channels for earth radiation budget applications
… types of dynamic solar observation: the solar calibration and the so-called pitchover maneuver. Using a second model, the nonscanner active cavity radiometer (ACR) thermal noise is studied. This study reveals that radiative emission and scattering by the surrounding parts of the nonscanner …

Developing Fixed-Bias Langmuir Probes for Multi-Point Constellation Deployments
… design principles, instrument hardware, and pre-flight calibration. The process of radiation tolerance assurance for the ELP is considered in further detail; however, as the ESCAPADE satellites have yet to take flight, we follow this discussion with a presentation of data from the SpEED Demon …

Solar wind stream interfaces: The importance of time, longitude, and latitude separation between points of observation
… so it was necessary to carry out an in-flight calibration for the bulk solar wind proton data. The proton data were then used to identify transitions between slow and fast solar wind for thirteen Carrington rotations covering March 2007 through February 2008. During this interval the …

Applied Aerial Autonomy for Reliable Indoor Flight and 3D Mapping
… projects to improve UAS performance: (1) in-flight calibration to improve estimation and control, (2) system identification for wind rejection, and (3) indoor aerial 3D mapping. The dissertation begins with introducing a comprehensive nonlinear filtering framework for UAV parameter …
