Space Based Optical Tracker

by cfynanon 21 April 2017in Earth Science and Remote Sensing

Principal Investigator: Dr. John Stryjewski
Affiliation: Vision Engineering Solutions
Test a novel approach to track spacecraft, debris, and objects that have little to no radar cross-section (for collision avoidance in future satellite and commercial spacecraft applications).

Global Receive Antenna and Signal Processor (GRASP)

by cfynanon 21 April 2017in Earth Science and Remote Sensing

Principal Investigator: Robert Carlson
Affiliation: JAMSS America, Inc.
Global Receive Antenna and Signal Processor (GRASP) is an enabling technology facility that provides affordable recovery of terrestrial radio frequency (RF) data using the ISS. Remote RF data is vital to commercial entities, governmental entities, and the research community for reasons as diverse as tracking ships at sea, studying animal migrations, improving agricultural yields, and monitoring the health of assets and health of the environment. The GRASP facility consists of an internally-mounted signal processing unit and an externally-mounted nadir-pointing antenna array. A key feature of GRASP is that it can be simultaneously used by multiple users, each targeting unique frequencies of interest. The GRASP facility on the ISS will increase access to and use of terrestrial RF signal data, which is currently constricted due to limited access to and high cost associated with recovering terrestrial RF signals using satellites.

MUSES Imaging Platform

by cfynanon 21 April 2017in Earth Science and Remote Sensing

Principal Investigator: Bill Corley
Affiliation: Teledyne Brown Engineering
Multi-User System for Earth Sensing (MUSES) is an Earth-observing, precision pointing platform for deployment and full operations onto the ISS. Launching in 2015, MUSES will host up to four instruments simultaneously and offer the ability to change, upgrade, and robotically service those instruments. The Teledyne Telescience Support Center (TSC) will provide instructions for platform pointing, instrument operations, and data downlink, as well as data processing and archiving.

Great Lakes Specific HICO Water Quality Algorithms

by cfynanon 21 April 2017in Earth Science and Remote Sensing

Principal Investigator: Dr. Robert Shuchman
Affiliation: Michigan Technological University
Collaborative project with Richard Becker using HICO data to develop algorithms for monitoring water quality and algal species in the Great Lakes, with one project (Dr. Richard Becker) to focus on Lake Erie. Results may influence assessment of Great Lakes ecosystem and drinking/recreational water sources and aid in determining the extent of algal blooms that pose health risks in this region.

Hyperspectral Remote Sensing of Terrestrial Ecosystem Carbon Fluxes

by cfynanon 21 April 2017in Earth Science and Remote Sensing

Principal Investigator: Fred Huemmrich
Affiliation: University of Maryland Baltimore County
Use HICO to monitor behavior (carbon fluxes and efficiency of light use) of terrestrial vegetation under varying environmental conditions. Results should improve understanding of ecosystem responses to environmental stress; for example, in the context of agriculture and forestry.

HICO Identification of Harmful Algal Blooms

by cfynanon 21 April 2017in Earth Science and Remote Sensing

Principal Investigator: Dr. Richard Becker
Affiliation: University of Toledo
Collaborative project with Robert Shuchman using HICO data to develop algorithms for monitoring water quality and algal species in the Great Lakes, with one project (Becker) to focus on Lake Erie. Results may influence assessment of Great Lakes ecosystem and drinking/recreational water sources and aid in determining the extent of algal blooms that pose health risks in this region.

National Lab Project: ISERV

by cfynanon 21 April 2017in Earth Science and Remote Sensing

Principal Investigator: Burgess Howell
Affiliation: Disaster Relief Charter; NASA Marshall Space Flight Center
ISS SERVIR Environmental Research and Visualization System (ISERV) is an automated system designed to acquire images of the Earth’s surface from the International Space Station (ISS). It is primarily a means to gain experience and expertise in automated data acquisition from the ISS, although it is expected to provide useful images for use in disaster monitoring and assessment, and environmental decision making.

Project Meteor

by cfynanon 21 April 2017in Earth Science and Remote Sensing

Principal Investigator: Michael Fortenberry
Affiliation: Southwest Research Institute
Project Meteor will make the first space-based observations of the chemical composition of meteors entering Earth’s atmosphere. Meteors are relatively rare, and are difficult to monitor from the ground because of the interference created by Earth’s atmosphere. The Meteor investigation takes high-resolution video and images of the atmosphere and uses a software program to search for bright spots, which can later be analyzed on the ground.

Development and Deployment of Charge Injection Device Imagers

by cfynanon 21 April 2017in Earth Science and Remote Sensing

Principal Investigator: Dr. Daniel Batcheldor
Affiliation: Florida Institute of Technology
Test how the harsh space environment affects a new type of charge injection device sensor for Earth and space imaging that will improve existing charge-coupled device technology. Future commercial use of this sensor could serve purposes from astronomy initiatives to Earth observation enterprises, including environmental monitoring and defense interests.
