Prospects of Variable Star Research by Future Space Missions
ESA and NASA are studying projects having a tremendous return on variable star research. Other national space agencies are also studying or developing projects of smaller costs but with impressive returns. The projects range from global Galactic surveys like the ESA mission GAIA which will give photometric time series for about 1 billion stars, to detailed pulsation modes studies like the CNES ...
متن کاملAutonomy in Future Space Missions
NASA missions are becoming more complicated due to the decreasing cost of spacecraft; the increased sensitivity and data gather capability of onboard instruments, and the need to use multiple spacecraft to accomplish new science. To accommodate these new missions current ground and space operations will need to use new paradigms to implement these new missions while keeping costs and logistics ...
متن کاملCanadian microbolometer technology for future space missions
This paper provides an overview of the microbolometer technology developed in Canada, including pixel engineering, readout electronics, and detector packaging. Design considerations are also presented for a two band LWIR radiometer intended for microsatellite-based demonstration of microbolometer technology.
متن کاملIdentifying Technology Investments for Future Space Missions
Advancement of critical technologies is a key factor in enabling future space missions. Yet, there is clearly a mismatch between the available funding and the cost of pursuing all technologies that have been identified as critical. Therefore, a process is needed to select the technologies that can provide the highest return on investment. In this paper, a systems engineering model is presented ...
متن کاملFuture Space Missions and Biohazard Implications
In the era of new, more streamlined NASA missions, there is an exciting suite of smaller more frequent missions, including those in the Discovery line, and in the new Mars Exploration initiatives. The growing field of Bioastronomy combines the studies of planetary astronomy, astrophysics, and biology in an exciting field which encompasses the search for extra-solar planetary systems, the study ...
