ŷ���ڱ���Ƶ Boulder, Texas A&M, and Georgia Tech are jointly performing on a��Space University Research Initiative (SURI) award from AFOSR.��

Research

The University of ŷ���ڱ���Ƶ Boulder (ŷ���ڱ���Ƶ Boulder), Texas A&M University (TAMU), the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech), and industries have teamed to investigate basic research interrogating novel sensor exploitation. The team will��infer internal space object modes, sensor network architectures, the art of the possible in 'beyond geosynchronous orbit' (XGEO) operations and strategies, and human-in-the-loop autonomous systems. New basic research and sensing advances in technically diverse fields such as cognitive engineering, autonomy, decision-mkaing under uncertainty, modern astrodynamics, multi-target tracking and dim object detection are providing a decadal opportunity to address future space domain awareness (SDA) near Earth and beyond.��This initiative aims to enable space object identification, proliferated small footprint radio-frequency sensors, dim object detection and tracking, and question-based tactical sensor tasking through the development and transition of technology.
