Public award description
DISTRIBUTED SPACECRAFT MISSIONS (DSM) ARCHITECTURES PROVIDE UNIQUE SCIENTIFIC AND PROGRAMMATIC BENEFITS INCLUDING MULTIPOINT IN-SITU MEASUREMENTS, MULTI-ANGLE VIEWPOINTS, AND IMPROVED UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN SEPARATELY MEASURED PHENOMENA AND THEIR TIME VARIATIONS. HOWEVER, THESE MISSIONS IMPOSE SIGNIFICANT OPERATIONAL DEMANDS ON GROUND TRACKING RESOURCES AND MISSION OPERATORS ALIKE, BY ADDING TO THE POPULATION OF SPACE VEHICLES TRACKED AND BY INCREASING THE VOLUME AND FREQUENCY OF SPACE COMMUNICATION CONTACTS. MOVING CERTAIN FUNCTIONS FROM THE GROUND TO THE SPACECRAFT CAN PROVIDE SIGNIFICANT BENEFITS FOR DSM OPERATIONS, PARTICULARLY FOR MISSIONS IN LOW EARTH ORBIT WHICH CAN NAVIGATE USING THE GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM. THE PROPOSED INNOVATION REPRESENTS A BREAKTHROUGH IN THIS CONCEPT.
