Benefits to HIGP/SOEST HIGP faculty research opportunities NASA, NOAA Terrestrial Remote Sensing NSF Space Weather NASA Planetary Missions HSFL leverages greater collaboration and partnership opportunities for HIGP faculty. NASA Centers and Mission Directorates DoD agencies State agencies and corporations (NovaSol) Demonstrated experience for HIGP Faculty as Mission PI – NASA Programs Highly competitive research proposals End-to-end mission support capability based entirely in Hawaii. Added attraction for new faculty hires.

5. Benefits to State of Hawaii State Economic Infrastructure 2-6 planned launch activities beginning in 2011 will require infrastructure support network for satellite and rocket components At least 60 new technical jobs related to aerospace 6 new HSFL-related program management teams at PMRF consisting of 3 people 3 launch crews of 15 technicians each ?? More positions for telemetry and range support Tens of millions in UH/State revenue Windward Community College Offers Associate Degree in Aerospace serving as a pipeline to HSFL programs. Aerospace Lab will serve as outreach and educational component of HSFL. Dr. Joseph Ciotti will lead effort. Upgrades to Windward CC Aerospace Lab will serve as “virtual” Mission Control Center for the HSFL. Kauai Community College Training program established through Kauai CC High paying, high technology jobs for State residents

7. Science Mission: CRESPO II Parameter Requirement for Maritime Hyperspectral Imaging from Space Rationale Off-nadir pointing+/-30 degTo increase scene access frequency Spectral Range 400 - 800 nm 800-1000nm or 900-1800nm Water-penetrating wavelengths NIR for atmospheric correction Spectral Channel Width 10 nm Sufficient resolution to resolve spectral features Signal to Noise Ratio > 200 to 1 for a 5% surface albedo scene Provides adequate residual SNR after atmospheric removal Polarization Sensitivity < 5% Sensor response to be insensitive to polarized atm light Ground Sample Distance 100 meters (  30%?) Comparable to scale of coastal features Scene Size Hundreds to Thousands of square kilometers To encompass the scale of coastal dynamics

8. HSFL Facilities: Launch Support Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF) Local launch facility and mission support Using launcher within PMRF boundaries HSFL/UH to enter into host-tenant agreement with PMRF that will allow HSFL launch facility.

9. Launch Vehicle Kauai Test Facility (KTF)/ Sandia National Lab Experience with solid rockets and missile design. Heritage working with PMRF as on-site contractor SPARK-I: Space-borne Payload Assist Rocket – Kauai. Can send 150 kg to low-Earth orbit (400 km) Future SPARK II: 300 kg to low- Earth orbit SPARK II capable of planetary missions KTF will provide technology transfer to University of Hawaii

10. Integration and Test College of Engineering facility with 5300 square feet of space Vice Chancellor for Research and SOEST Dean allocate funds for clean room equipment. Clean rooms in UH/POST will be used to assemble satellites. Systems integration Thermo-vac testing Vibration testing Electronics testing for launch vehicle component integration

11. Spacecraft Partner with NASA Centers and others to advance small spacecraft design. Design, build, launch, and operate 30-70-kg microsatellite that can be configured for a variety of science and educational tasks. Support technology validation missions for NASA as well as other University or corporate missions. Draw from cadre of EE and ME students in CoE CubeSat Group

12. Mission Operations UH/HSFL maintains receiving stations that will be moved to roof of Holmes in 2009. Ground station provides command and control broadcast as well as data downlink capabilities. Mission Ops Center in POST 527. Back-up Mission Ops from PMRF.

13. Funding and Support Current Support Congressional FY 08: $3.277 Million through Army Space and Missile Defense Command FY 09: $3.884 Million through Air Force Operationally Responsive Space UH/SOEST $1.4 Million: HSFL Mission Ops Center, HSFL Integration and Test Facility Other Support Rocket Motors MDA: 4 GEM-40 first stage motors = $8.8 Million SNL: 2 Star-27 third stage motors = $2.2 Million Pending AF/ORS: 2 SR-73 second stage motors = $3.2 Million Future Pending ULA: 73 GEM-46 first stage motors ~ $160 Million Motors would be donated to UH/HSFL Vandenberg Air Force Base Scout Launcher Telemetry Support: NWSC Corona

14. HSFL Future Prospects HIGP faculty research opportunities with new HSFL missions. Funds from launch operations would be used to stimulate new HIGP faculty research and mission concepts. UH to become the gateway for university-class and small satellite space access. Potential to relieve log- jam of national small satellite projects waiting for space validation of hardware. UH to provide unique, one-of-a kind student training and research opportunities from spacecraft design to launch to on-orbit operations. Reliable, low-cost access to Earth orbit for small payloads. Total cost is $9.0 million/launch; $2.25 million each for 4 small satellites. Workforce development and training spawning hi- technology activities on many islands.

15. HSFL Summary If Hawaii were a country, we would be the 8th “nation” in the world to have this capability. Instead, we’ll be the only university worldwide that can do build, launch and maintain satellites in space. HSFL is seeking new proposals for science and technology demonstration missions to support HIGP, SOEST, and UH faculty research!
