The Dynamics and Control of the Cubesail Mission---A Solar Sailing Demonstration
… study addresses two issues related to the slow emergence of solar sailing as a viable space propulsion method. The low technology readiness level and complications related to stowage, deployment, and support of the sail structure are both addressed by combining the CU Aerospace and …

Rendezvous approach guidance for uncooperative tumbling satellites
… with malfunctioning thrusters. Due to the low Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of autonomous (RPO) missions, first missions prefer to use flight proven technologies. This thesis implements a guidance algorithm based on the flight proven Clohessy-Wiltshire (CW) and space shuttle glideslope …

Technology impact forecasting for multi-functional composites
Low technology readiness levels (TRL) technologies are attractive to the aerospace industry because their maturation cycles can happen simultaneously with the development lifecycle of the aircraft. However, due to the limited knowledge about a new technology in system evaluation, a low TRL …

A CubeSAT Orbital Test Platform for an Electrothermal Plasma Micro-Thruster
… and the additional difficulties of low available Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) for propulsion systems aboard CubeSats have left a technological gap that many are trying to fill. One class of propulsion, micro-propulsion systems, fills this gap nicely as they generally have low size …

A multidisciplinary framework for mission effectiveness quantification and assessment of micro autonomous systems and technologies
… are used to obtain intelligence at the macro level, but there is no real-time intelligence asset at the squad level. MAST seeks to provide that asset. Consequently, multiple integrated MAST heterogeneous platforms (e.g. crawlers, flyers, etc.) working together synergistically as an ensemble …

MEDITERRANEAN AQUACULTURE AND SUSTAINABILITY: HOLISTIC ASSESSMENT OF EUROPEAN SEA BASS (DICENTRARCHUS LABRAX) AND GILTHEAD SEA BREAM (SPARUS AURATA) FARMING
… need for overall sustainability assessments. Following the review, a comparison of different farming systems, including traditional sea cages and land-based systems, was performed. The results indicated that sea cage systems have lower environmental performance compared to land-based facilities, …
