Since the beginning of the space race, space exploration has been an important part of America’s technological develop-ment. The notion of a power-intensive [1] mission to Mars, which utilizes 3D printing has been proposed. Space Solar Power can supply energy for this mission. This paper presents an Origami solar panel, based on work by [2], that can supply power to an outpost on Mars.

This poster considers one part of a space solar power-based mission to sup-ply wireless power for use on the Mar-tian surface. It presents a cargo capsule designed to house the necessities for human survival, as well as research equipment , and safely deliver them to a predetermined destination on Mars.

CubeSat spacecraft have been shown to provide significant cost [1], research [1] and educational benefits [2]. Prior work at UND has demonstrated the efficacy of this form factor of craft for asteroid as-sessment activities [3] and onboard image processing [4]. Work is al-so ongoing to develop a low-cost framework [5] for CubeSat devel-opment to enable activities at UND and at other locations.

The assessment of in-space objects is an area of ongoing research. Characterization of resident space objects (RSOs) can be useful for assessing the operating status of operator-affiliated or non-affiliated space assets, identifying unknown objects or gathering additional details for known objects. Under the proposed approach, a ring-like constellation of CubeSats passes around the target (at a distance) collecting imagery. This imagery is then utilized to create a 3D model of the target. This paper considers several key elements of a constellation to perform this type of imaging, including the constellation design and imaging capabilities required and the astrodynamics relevant to …
In Search Of Standards For The Operation Of Small Satellites, Jeremy Straub
In Search Of Standards For The Operation Of Small Satellites, Jeremy Straub
Jeremy Straub
This paper considers the need for standards for the operations of small spacecraft. First, it considers a definition for what a small spacecraft is and discusses the elusiveness of this definition. Then, the paper turns to the ‘large space’ community and it examines their fears about small spacecraft as well as the operating paradigms that they are used to and how these drive their expectations for the operations of small spacecraft. Next, a prospective composition for a preliminary set of operating standards is discussed. Finally, a discussion of the benefits of standardization and what the different communities could expect to …
