Seminar: Increasing Science Capabilities in the Apollo Lunar Exploration Program - Oct. 16

Oct. 6, 2020

The Apollo Lunar Exploration Program accomplished six successful lunar landings. Each succeeding Apollo mission was characterized by increasing exploration capabilities (landing accuracy, stay time, EVAs, mobility, experiments, tools, etc.). We present a brief review of the landing sites, surface operations and science return of...

Seminar: Autonomous Guidance, Navigation and Control for Small Body Exploration (and beyond!) - Sept. 25

Sept. 19, 2020

Jay McMahon Assistant Professor, Smead Aerospace Friday, Sep. 25 | 12:30 P.M. | Zoom Webinar - Registration Required Abstract: Small bodies in the solar system - both asteroids and comets - have complex dynamical environments that create unique challenges to operating spacecraft in close proximity. Future missions will desire to...

Seminar: Cooperative Bayesian Intelligence for Aerospace Autonomy - Sept. 18

Sept. 11, 2020

As imperfectly designed agents in an uncertain world, autonomous systems will never work “out of the box” exactly as desired. By taking on tasks that push the technological limit, autonomous systems will encounter unexpected situations that go beyond their immediate capabilities. Autonomous systems must therefore be...

Seminar: Passive and Active Spectrum Sharing - Sept. 11

Sept. 8, 2020

Keith Gremban Research Professor, Department of Computer Science, CU Boulder Friday, Sep. 11 | 12:30 P.M. | Zoom Webinar - Registration Required Abstract: The increasing demand for spectrum is forcing more spectrum sharing between disparate radio services. Spectrum sharing between passive and active systems has not been well researched. Deployed...
