Design of the Remote Agent Experiment for Spacecraft Autonomy

This paper describes the Remote Agent flight experiment for spacecraft commanding and control. In the Remote Agent approach, the operational rules and constraints are encoded in the flight software. The software may be considered to be an autonomous “remote agent” of the spacecraft operators in the sense that the operators rely on the agent to achieve particular goals. The experiment will be ex...

Restricting the IDM for Classification

The naive credal classifier (NCC) extends naive Bayes classifier (NBC) to imprecise probabilities to robustly deal with the specification of the prior; NCC models a state of ignorance by using a set of priors, which is formalized by Walley’s Imprecise Dirichlet Model (IDM). NCC has been shown to return more robust classification than NBC. However, there are particular situations (which we preci...

The Miller volcanic spark discharge experiment.

Miller's 1950s experiments used, besides the apparatus known in textbooks, one that generated a hot water mist in the spark flask, simulating a water vapor-rich volcanic eruption. We found the original extracts of this experiment in Miller's material and reanalyzed them. The volcanic apparatus produced a wider variety of amino acids than the classic one. Release of reduced gases in volcanic eru...

Enhanced Attitude Control Experiment for Ssti Lewis Spacecraft

The enhanced attitude control system experiment is a technology demonstration experiment on the NASA’s small spacecraft technology initiative program’s Lewis spacecraft to evaluate advanced attitude control strategies. The purpose of the enhanced attitude control system experiment is to evaluate the feasibility of designing and implementing robust multi-input/multi-output attitude control strat...
