Public award description
NASA LANGLEY RESEARCH CENTER IS DEVELOPING TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS FOR REMOTE SENSING AND IN-SITU DETECTION OF CHEMICALS AND BIOLOGICAL AGENTS ON EARTH AND OTHER PLANETARY BODIES. SENSORS ARE SMALL ENOUGH THAT THEY CAN BE CARRIED ON MICRO-SIZED AERIAL VEHICLES (MAVS) WITH SMALL RADIO FREQUENCY MESH COMMUNICATION CHIPS OR LIGHT EMITTING DIODES FOR OPTICAL COMMUNICATION. RECENTLY, RESEARCHERS HAVE INCORPORATED SMALL-SCALE WIND TURBINES ONTO THE MAV TO GENERATE ELECTRICAL POWER FOR ON-BOARD SENSING, DATA MANAGEMENT, AND COMMUNICATION. THE LEADING-EDGE CHALLENGES OF FABRICATING AND INTEGRATING THESE VEHICLES AND THEIR SYSTEMS ON A SMALL SCALE MANDATE CAREFUL EMPIRICAL VALIDATION OF DEVELOPMENTAL PROTOTYPES TO VERIFY THAT THE ARTICLES MEET THE DESIGNED PERFORMANCE.
