The space enterprise is changing. In this new environment, iLab works with customers, academia, and industry to inspire innovation across the board.
In addition to homegrown research at Aerospace, iLab collaborates across the space enterprise to spur innovation. For developers of midsized satellites, one of the biggest hurdles can be getting the satellite on a launch. Developing a standard Launch Unit for these payloads could enable quicker and more efficient configuration, ultimately increasing launch opportunities.
iLab, or Innovation Lab, fosters a vibrant innovative culture that leads to bold ideas, transformative capabilities, and unique insights. This is the iLab main office and is also a place staff can come to work and fuel their creative juices.
What’s iLab all about?
• iLab operates a variety of programs designed to inspire innovation at the company.
• iLab's research and development portfolio funds cutting-edge ideas to pursue game-changing solutions to our customers’ hardest problems.
• iLab works with customers, academia, and industry to inspire innovation across the enterprise.

The iLab sabbatical program, started in April 2017, gives Aerospace staff the opportunity to spend 40 hours dedicated to solving a specific problem.
Small satellites are becoming more and more capable, taking over missions that used to require larger spacecraft. However, adding propulsion systems to these smaller platforms remains a challenge, which means many small sats are limited to applications that do not require active orbit maintenance, increases in altitude, or changes in inclination.
Working in conjunction with the University of Southern California, Aerospace is developing HyPer, a monopropellant vapor propulsion system that could help solve this problem.

Brane Craft, a concept for a spacecraft that can economically and efficiently remove space debris, won the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) Phase I and II awards, showing Aerospace’s role as a pioneer in space debris management and removal.
Prairie is a platform that combines Aerospace’s unrivaled technical and historical space operation data with the most innovative gaming engines available in the commercial market. Prairie will give users the ability to train for space engagement by fusing architecture, technology and space operations together in a unique, open-source package.
Aerospace tested a gliding landing vehicle that could swoop over the Martian landscape and send back photos to Earth.
When NASA was seeking a solution to develop a viable strategy for directly imaging exoplanets, they turned to Aerospace. The Solar Gravity Lens Project, now funded for further development through the third-ever awarded Phase 3 NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts program, uses an Aerospace-developed architecture comprising spacecraft miniaturization technology pioneered at Aerospace nearly three decades ago.
iLab funds sabbatical projects, in which a researcher explores a topic of interest for 40 hours. One project looked at how drones can help with search and rescue operations.
Enterprise Information Services maintains this desk, and employees can visit this location to get in-person IT help and pick up hardware.
Library and Information Management Services maintains an extensive collection of digital and physical resources, with principal emphasis on aerospace technology, physical and applied sciences, systems engineering, and business management. Employees can come here to get help from a librarian.
Hive is a concept for a new generation of disaggregated, reconfigurable satellites. Made up of small, smart, mass-producible, and multi-functional units that can come apart and reconfigure themselves when necessary, Hive can form resilient satellite constellations in space.

Looking at nature for inspiration, an Aerospace team is developing an unmanned aerial system (UAS) that borrows flight characteristics from winged maple seeds.
The small and inexpensive UAS, dubbed AeroSeed, has a number of advantages over current UAS technology, and could be used in a variety of fields.
Since the days of Explorer 1, marrying a satellite’s payloads to the bus that provides power, telemetry and communications has been a complex, time-intensive process unique to each particular mission.
But in a space environment where agility is increasingly prioritized and resiliency is an overarching imperative, a team of Aerospace employees is working on a vision of the future where integrating the payload and bus of a satellite is almost as easy as plugging a USB drive into a computer.
The team is pursuing a number of initiatives through iLab’s Ventures program with the shared goal of advancing the use of modularity in satellite design, a key enabler for future space missions.
A team from Aerospace successfully tested a new type of 3-D printed rocket motor that could potentially lead to less expensive and more efficient rocket propellants.
Project Ironsight is focused on advanced collaborative and autonomous robotics operating without humans in the loop to perform dynamic operations like rendezvous.
If GPS were to experience even a brief outage, the impacts on transit, national security, the scientific community, and even the stock market would be very significant.
Sextant is a system that combines GPS with various other position, navigation, and timing (PNT) tools and monitors the status of each input to produce reliable and accurate PNT information.
This video depicts a live test of one component of Sextant -- a proprietary position sensor developed by Aerospace engineers known as OpNav. In this scenario, we can see a side-by-side test comparing GPS and Sextant/OpNav in downtown El Segundo, CA – down the street from the Aerospace campus.
With just a few days’ data collection and a short training step, this tool can be deployed anywhere in the world and offers accuracy up to 24 meters without GPS.
An iLab lunchbox provides a fun way for employees to casually experiment and play with interesting technology.
