... evolution of spacecraft—and communications satellites in particular—has been the pattern of “technology inversion”. This means that communications satellites have become larger, more ... technology have allowed many new advances in small satellite design and manufacture. Along with this so-called “cubesat” revolution has also come a wealth of new options for cost effective launch of small satellites ...

... mission needs, the program is laying the technological foundation for travel to nearby interstellar space. The In-Space Propulsion Technology Program's technology portfolio includes many advanced propulsion systems. From the next-generation ion ... . Propellantless propulsion technologies include scientific innovations such as solar sails and aerocapture. This paper will provide an overview of those propellantless and propellant-based advanced propulsion technologies that will most significantly advance our exploration ...

... we are considering novel ways of receiving data from an interstellar probe where conventional communication technologies are challenged by the considerable distances involved. It is theoretically possible for a craft ... a tight lock on the signal, including the use of a constellation of assisting satellites, and multiple antennas on the receiving craft. We suggest interstellar precursor missions that ...

... paper proposes and discusses the use of a biomimetic approach to conceive and design novel advanced space technological systems. The paper analyses the different phases of space missions, namely launch, transfer, parking ... exploration, and investigates possible advantages of a biomimetic approach for each of them. Bio-inspired technologies currently used in the space field are pointed out and new biomimetic concepts are proposed ...
