Aas 13-359 Autonomy Architecture for a Raven-class Telescope with Space Situational Awareness Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper investigates possible autonomy architecture designs of a Raven-class telescope as applied to the tracking and high level characterization problem in Space Situational Awareness (SSA). Various levels of autonomy are defined and existing systems and capabilities are discussed. Telescope interactions with distributed sensor networks such as the Space Surveillance Network (SSN) are reviewed, and several relationships between autonomy and scheduling of telescopes are addressed. An autonomy architecture design for a Raven-class telescope is presented and future extensions are proposed.

متن کاملSatellite imaging with adaptive optics on a 1 m telescope
The Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the Mount Stromlo Observatory in Canberra, Australia, have been developing adaptive optic (AO) systems for space situational awareness applications. We report on the development and demonstration of an AO system for satellite imaging using a 1 m telescope. The system uses the orbiting object as a natural guide star to measure atmospheric turb...

متن کاملSpherical Primary Optical Telescope (SPOT): An Architecture Demonstration for Cost-effective Large Space Telescopes
AbstructThis paper summarizes efforts underway at the Goddard Space Flight Center to demonstrate a new type of space telescope architecture that builds on the ria& segmented telescope heritage of the James Webb Space Telescope but that solves several key challenges for future space telescopes. The architecture is based on a costeffective segmented spherical primary mirror combined with a unique...
