Autonomous Systems Against Space Meteorites and Space Debris

The team will work to design an automated VSIC circuit integrated autonomous system to predict damage tolerance of an energy system in space operations.

Advisor:

  • Vikas Tomar, Ph.D., Professor, AAE

Description:

The team will work to design an automated VSIC circuit integrated autonomous system to predict damage tolerance of an energy system in space operations. We will try to automate space meteorite and Space Debris impact tests. We will then develop an automated loop for integrating self healing on the go.  

Goals:

  1. Modular impact tests at hypervelocity’s in space
  2. Damage tolerance protocols
  3. VSIC integrated autonomous system for damage monitoring
  4. Protecting VSIC against damage

Relevant Technologies:

Machine Learning, AI, VSIC (Large Scale Integrated Circuit fabrication, could be outsourced as well), Hypervelocity impact test training will be given, vacuum tubes, streak camera operation, spectroscopy operation

Website: 

To be developed as part of the project 

Prerequisites:

Interest, enthusiasm, time commitment and domain knowledge

Meeting Time:

Mondays, 5:00 -  5:30 pm
