Research abstract
The intention of this proposal is to perform a Space Domain Awareness feasibility analysis of Portal's highly mobile in-space servicing spacecraft, named Supernova. Supernova enables a novel combination of long- range and high-speed which can be applied towards space domain awarness. The proposal's efforts involve conducting customer discovery interviews, feasibility studies, and simulations of the Supernova spacecraft. This data will be utilized to validate missions of interest to our Space Force end user.
