David BlacksmithDuke University The growing population of space vehicles and satellites motivates increasingly powerful technologies for space situational awareness (SSA). While the US Space Surveillance Network (SSN) can monitor objects up to approximately four inches in size using, for example, the latest space fence upgrade, associated requirements limit implementation to ground-based tracking of objects in

Pablo Sobron SanchezSETI Institute This proposal explores a new class of survey spacecraft that maps minerals from orbit using Raman spectroscopy during high-speed flybys, without landing, sample return, or prolonged dwell. If feasible, this concept would allow NASA to evaluate ice and ilmenite on the Moon, mineral content on asteroids, and volatile minerals on the

Pablo StankusBrookhaven Scientific Associates The scientific objective is to enable a new method to observe gravitational waves at low frequencies, based on the GW astrometric signature: gravitational waves passing through the Earth will cause a (very small) coordinated apparent movement of all celestial objects. Our innovation is to implement a new approach for precision astrometry
