Communicating and Converging CubeSats
A satellite smaller than a loaf of bread beamed a laser to the ground, transmitting 100 megabits of data per second, a rate 50 times greater than typical communication systems for this size CubeSat. This same satellite also demonstrated much-needed maneuvering capabilities that brought it within 20 feet of its twin satellite.
Team Wins Army RCO Blind Signal Challenge
An Aerospace Corporation team of engineers has won the Army Rapid Capabilities Office (RCO) Blind Signal Classification Challenge, furthering the potential of AI in analyzing and identifying radio frequency signals.
Center for Orbital and Reentry Debris Studies
CORDS was established in 1997 to focus the corporation’s research and technology applications in the areas of space debris, collision avoidance, and reentry breakup and to provide a single point-of-contact for organizations seeking to take advantage of Aerospace’s more than 50 years of experience in these and related technical areas.
HIVE SATELLITES REDEFINE DISAGGREGATION
Built and assembled like Legos in space, Hive’s innovation is built on the concept of disaggregated satellites. Hives are mass-producible, multi-functional satellite units that are put in orbit to build large structures. These units can interlock and work with one another, perform various functions, and even repair themselves.
