2022 Research & Technology Report

The 2022 Research and Technology Annual Report represents what is hopefully the “new normal” for portfolio execution. The portfolio took advantage of the best features of the virtual work environment with collaborations across the nation without any geographical constraints. This allowed key partnerships between NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) and other NASA centers, other government agencies, industry, and academia. Also, because there were no longer any constraints on laboratory and test capabilities, we were able to make significant progress with hands-on technology development, fabrication and testing that is critical to validating the efficacy of advanced technology.

Concept definition study for recovery of tumbling satellites. Volume 2: Supporting research and technology report

A number of areas of research and laboratory experiments were identified which could lead to development of a cost efficient remote, disable satellite recovery system. Estimates were planned of disabled satellite motion. A concept is defined as a Tumbling Satellite Recovery kit which includes a modular system, composed of a number of subsystem mechanisms that can be readily integrated into varying combinations. This would enable the user to quickly configure a tailored remote, disabled satellite recovery kit to meet a broad spectrum of potential scenarios. The capability was determined of U.S. Earth based satellite tracking facilities to adequately determine the orientation and motion rates of disabled satellites.
