Microgravity and Space Processes TC Webinar: Analog Mission to Mars – HERA C7M2 (AIAA Member Exclusive)

Analog Mission to Mars (HERA C7M2)

AIAA Members: make sure you are signed in to the site with your member credentials to be able to register.

Featuring Special Guest Lecturer, Jason Lee, University of Connecticut

Analog Mission to Mars (HERA C7M2) Description: Jason Lee participated in NASA’s Human Exploration Research Analog (HERA) Campaign 7 Mission 2. Along with 3 other crew members he spent 45 days in the habitat. The purpose of the analog was to simulate a mission to mars, conducting experiments to study the effects of isolation, confinement in a small space, and simulated remote conditions. Throughout the mission, the crew was responsible for carrying out various individual and team based operations.

Dr. Lee will discuss his experience working with the crew and mission control, as well as the observed effects of isolation and communication delays.

Building a Career on Tackling the Challenges of Hypersonic Flight (Member Exclusive Webinar)

Featuring Special Guest Lecturer, Kevin Bowcutt, principal senior technical fellow and chief scientist of hypersonics at The Boeing Company.

AIAA Members: make sure you are signed in to the site with your member credentials to be able to register for this event.

This webinar is offered exclusively to AIAA members. Want to learn more about the benefits of AIAA membership?

Join us as we discuss some of the toughest challenges of hypersonic flight, along with efforts by the presenter and his colleagues to tackle these challenges, advance the state of the art of hypersonics, and help enable current hypersonic system capabilities. Despite progress made, many challenges remain before hypersonic flight becomes routine and the full potential of hypersonics is realized, including capabilities such as global travel, reusable vehicles for defense applications, and truly routine and affordable access to space. Further advancement is needed in challenging research domains such as high-temperature materials and viable structures affordably built from those materials; design accounting for the strong interaction of disciplines, such as fluid dynamics, propulsion, thermal, structure, and control; and revolutionary increases in the fidelity and speed of multidisciplinary modeling and simulation required to support advanced vehicle design. These tough challenges provide excellent opportunities for engineers and scientists to advance their careers in hypersonics by helping to develop solutions to the challenges.

AIAA Aerospace Perspectives Series: On-Orbit Mission Enhancement and Logistics

This webinar is hosted by AIAA, is presented by Lockheed Martin, and is open to all members of the AIAA and ASCEND communities.

To ensure mission success, as well as the longevity, flexibility, and value of on-orbit space assets, the space industry is developing a variety of on-orbit satellite servicing capabilities for commercial use and for onboarding to government programs. This event will feature some of the industry leaders who are driving on-orbit satellite servicing capabilities to tell the story of how we are accelerating these advancements to benefit the space industry.

A standardized docking port enables successful on-orbit servicing missions by accommodating a wide-range of Satellite Augmentation Vehicles (SAVs). The port enables SAVs to attach to a host vehicle to provide an expansive selection of mission augmentation including mission enhancements, system upgrades, failure recovery, and alternative communication paths. Lockheed Martin Space has released the first open-source Mission Augmentation Port (MAP) standard and is rapidly expanding its family of high-technology readiness level (TRL) docking ports. Investments in mission augmentation and on-orbit satellite servicing will bring value to the bustling space economy, enhance cooperative architectures, and extend mission longevity.

4th International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) Conference on Space Situational Awareness (ICSSA)

The 4th IAA Conference on Space Situational Awareness will take place at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, Daytona Beach, FL, 8–10 May 2024.

The foremost purpose of Space Situational Awareness (SSA) is to provide decision-making processes with a quantifiable and timely body of evidence (predictive/imminent/forensic) of behavior(s) attributable to specific space domain threats and hazards. The conference will cover broad-ranging technical and policy related aspects associated with the topic of SSA.
