Riccardo Bevilacqua
Charles M. Telesco
Vivek Nagabhushan

13. Riccardo Bevilacqua Research Interests:
Low Earth Orbit atmospheric modeling
Autonomous Multi-robot Systems
Wireless Experience Networks for Multi-Spacecraft Formations

14. ADvanced Autonomous MUltiple Spacecraft laboratory (ADAMUS)
Specializes in hardware-in-the-loop ground experiments
Spacecraft relative motion guidance
Navigation and control
Proximity operations and maneuvers involving contact
Six-degrees-of-freedom air-bearing-based spacecraft simulator
Reproduce the dynamics of free-flying spacecraft
Contact dynamics models and tools for satellite servicing can also be tested at ADAMUS lab
“The ADAMUS laboratory bridges the gap between computer numerical simulations and actual orbital flight.”
Bevilacqua

16. Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) Charles M. Telesco
0.4-m telescope, located on La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain
Largest optical-IR astronomical telescope in the world
CanariCam provides modes for imaging, spectroscopy, polarimetry, and coronagraphy

17. Work with Small Satellites
Microsat around 10 to 100 kg containing a compact polarimeter
Containing camera and sensors to measure polarized light
Uses polarized light to better understand aspects of the planet, its atmosphere, and its current stage
Goals include to examine Europa and it’s geysers and surface cracks

18. Vivek Nagabhushan Research Interests: Dynamic Systems and Control
Single Gimbal Control Moment Gyroscopes
Space robotics
Intelligent mechanisms

19. Space Systems Group - UF
Nanosatellite , 10 kg, with attitude control capabilities
Control Moment Gyroscope (CMG) –actuator allowing three-axis attitude control of small satellites
Actuator developed to serve as a part of the attitude control system of the SwampSat

Geosynchronous transfer orbit
What is the configuration of the Atlas launch this week?
401: 4-meter fairing, zero SRBs, and 1 engine 2nd stage
When and where is the Atlas launch?
November 11th 10:30 a.m. in California
Who built the WorldView-4 satellite for whom?
Lockheed Martin for DigitalGlobe

21. Moon landing Activity

22. The Set up
You are a member of a space crew scheduled to rendezvous with a mother ship on the lighted surface of the moon. However, due to mechanical difficulties, your own ship was forced to land at a spot 200 miles from the rendezvous point.
During re-entry and landing, much of the equipment aboard was damaged and, since survival depends on reaching the mother ship, the most critical items available must be chosen for the 200-mile trip.
15 items are listed as being intact and undamaged after landing. Your task is to rank them in terms of their importance for your crew, to allow them to reach the rendezvous point. Place the number 1 by the most important item, the number 2 by the second most important, and so on through to number 15 for the least important.
