Building The Erau Solar Telescope: Advancing Heliophysics Research And Education Through Optical Innovation, Erin Abraham, Sarah Hoover, Skylar G. Butler, Margret Stanley, Gwynlyn Hannah Feb 2026

Building The Erau Solar Telescope: Advancing Heliophysics Research And Education Through Optical Innovation, Erin Abraham, Sarah Hoover, Skylar G. Butler, Margret Stanley, Gwynlyn Hannah

Student Research Symposium (SRS)

The new Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) Solar Telescope represents a campus-wide collaboration to design and install a high-resolution solar observatory. The ERAU solar telescope, aiming for first light by Summer 2026, will integrate research-grade instrumentation, student training opportunities, and expand public engagement with the ERAU observatory. The telescope is housed within a 2.3-meter refurbished dome structure whose electrical and structural systems are being upgraded to support automated dome rotation and environmental stabilization. The optical design features a multi-element lens and mirror assembly optimized for a 1° field of view. The optical assembly includes a downport centered in the dome that …


Polar Reconnaissance & Imagining Survey (Polaris), Max Brooks, Zion Carpenter, Isabel La Coss Feb 2026

Polar Reconnaissance & Imagining Survey (Polaris), Max Brooks, Zion Carpenter, Isabel La Coss

Student Research Symposium (SRS)

In preparation for the permanent human presence on the lunar south pole as part of the ARTEMIS Accords, planned human excursions will conduct science on regions of interest to locate resources for sustained habitation. The objective of the Polar Reconnaissance & Imaging Survey simulation is to take a predetermined region sized image of a planned astronaut excursion site to identify terrain features and threats. This shall be a satellite mission control (MCC) simulation with four Earth-based satellite console operators, and one moon-based EVA encompassing.


Comparing Pulsation Timing (O-C) Method And Frequency Modulation (Fm) Method: Resolving Orbital Parameters Of Binary Star Systems, Julia Clark Feb 2026

Comparing Pulsation Timing (O-C) Method And Frequency Modulation (Fm) Method: Resolving Orbital Parameters Of Binary Star Systems, Julia Clark

Student Research Symposium (SRS)

The Frequency Modulation (FM) Method, first proposed by Shibahashi et al. (2012) and expanded upon in 2015, provides a way to detect binary motion in pulsating stars using only photometric data. Orbital motion produces frequency shifts that appear as multiplets in the Fourier transform of the light curve, with spacing equal to the orbital frequency from the central peak. The relative amplitudes and phases of these peaks can be used to derive orbital parameters—offering a purely photometric alternative to spectroscopic radial velocity (RV) measurements. This project applies the FM method to confirm potential subdwarf B (sdB) companions that have been …

Student Research Symposium (SRS)

"Project G.L.E.N., formally known as “Enhancing Tornado Research: A Case for Transitioning the Enhanced Fujita Scale,” is an ongoing initiative aimed at advancing tornado research through the development and deployment of an unmanned tornado probe. Through the Gale Level Environmental Navigator (G.L.E.N.) probe, a remote-controlled unit equipped with specialized meteorological sensors and innovative design features, we aim to collect real-time, onsite data from within tornadoes. This approach allows for direct measurement of internal atmospheric conditions such as wind speeds, pressure fluctuations, temperature, humidity, and other storm dynamics while removing human risk from tornado interception, significantly enhancing the safety of storm …

Scoping Review On Bid In Cubesats, Spoorti Nanjamma

Student Research Symposium (SRS)

Requirements gathering is a fundamental step in the systems engineering lifecycle, shaping the success of space missions. This research focuses on refining the requirements development process through a structured methodology, using Project COMET—a University Nanosatellite Program (UNP) mission—as a case study. While Project COMET encompasses various design and operational challenges, this study is centered specifically on improving requirement identification, analysis, and validation for small satellite development. The research employs a three-stage workshop-based approach. The first stage involves functional decomposition, breaking down mission objectives into system-level needs and identifying key constraints. The second stage explores structured problem-framing techniques to enhance requirement …

The Physiological And Psychological Benefits Of Inspiratory Muscle Training Across Clinical Populations: A Meta-Analysis, Sabrina Ehrenfort Feb 2026

The Physiological And Psychological Benefits Of Inspiratory Muscle Training Across Clinical Populations: A Meta-Analysis, Sabrina Ehrenfort

Student Research Symposium (SRS)

Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) is an established intervention to enhance respiratory strength, yet its broader effects on psychological outcomes across diverse clinical populations remains unclear. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the overall efficacy of IMT physical performance and psychological well-being, as well as influences of disease type and intervention duration. Clinical populations include pulmonary, cardiovascular, neurological, and other categories. A systematic search was conducted across several electronic databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. Sixty-one randomized controlled trials met inclusion criteria, including clinical populations with interventions lasting at least six weeks. Data compared across the trials included Maximal Inspiratory …

Growing Plants On The Moon: How Mizuna Roots And Organic Matter Spark Microbial Metabolism, Stefani Capasso Villanueva, Nupur Kulkarni Feb 2026

Growing Plants On The Moon: How Mizuna Roots And Organic Matter Spark Microbial Metabolism, Stefani Capasso Villanueva, Nupur Kulkarni

Student Research Symposium (SRS)

Establishing functional plant–microbe systems in extraterrestrial substrates is critical for sustainable lunar agriculture. We tested whether manure amendment and Mizuna mustard (Brassica rapa var. japonica) rhizosphere activity enhance the metabolic potential of a lunar regolith simulant (LHS-1). Plants were grown in four treatments: Unplanted manure-amended regolith (LRM), planted manure-amended regolith (LRMP), planted unamended regolith (LRP), and soil controls. Plant height and community-level physiological profiles (CLPP; Biolog EcoPlates) were measured to assess growth and metabolic diversity. Mizuna grew best in soil, with modest improvements in LRMP compared to LRP, though regolith treatment differences were not statistically significant. CLPP revealed the highest …
