Wireless Augmented Reality Communication System
A portable unit is for video communication to select a user name in a user name network. A transceiver wirelessly accesses a communication network through a wireless connection to a general purpose node coupled to the communication network. A user interface can receive user input to log on to a user name network through the communication network. The user name network has a plurality of user names, at least one of the plurality of user names is associated with a remote portable unit, logged on to the user name network and available for video communication.
Leveraging Heritage on the Mars 2020 Project
NASA’s Mars 2020 mission is charged with responding to the highest priority objectives of the 2011 planetary sciences decadal survey, conducting extensive in-situ science on the surface of the Red Planet, and carrying important cross-agency human precursor technologies. The mission concept was predicated on and enabled by leveraging the Curiosity rover engineering design, successful Sky Crane landing systems, and other elements from the Mars Science Laboratory project into a new mission with new payload elements. High-heritage paradigms are unusual for flagship science missions and can be difficult to execute as the realities of spacecraft development intervene. However the project has had good success to-date from concept through formulation and into early implementation. This paper will describe the general approaches developed and used by the Mars 2020 Project team at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).
Wireless Augmented Reality Communication System
The system of the present invention is a highly integrated radio communication system with a multimedia co-processor which allows true two-way multimedia (video, audio, data) access as well as real-time biomedical monitoring in a pager-sized portable access unit. The system is integrated in a network structure including one or more general purpose nodes for providing a wireless-to-wired interface. The network architecture allows video, audio and data (including biomedical data) streams to be connected directly to external users and devices. The portable access units may also be mated to various non-personal devices such as cameras or environmental sensors for providing a method for setting up wireless sensor nets from which reported data may be accessed through the portable access unit. The reported data may alternatively be automatically logged at a remote computer for access and viewing through a portable access unit, including the user's own.
Inheriting Curiosity: Leveraging MBSE to Build Mars2020
The success of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's (JPL) Martian mission Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) prompted NASA to challenge JPL to build a second rover, Mars2020. Mars2020 has chosen to infuse Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) in pursuit of aiding the design of the Flight System. This paper will derive the motivation for MBSE infusion and will explain the current state of the Mars2020 Flight System Model. Successes in MBSE adoption will be discussed, as will limitations to the methodology.

(abstract) The Role of the Deep Space Network for Cassini
Cassini radio science experiments have several categories of requirements for DSN tracking services. The three main areas for upgrade are in Ka-band, long-term frequence stability, and short-term frequency stability/phase noise level.
