BACKGROUND:  The Center for Space Situational Awareness Research (CSSAR) in the Department of Physics (DFP) conducts research in satellite optical signatures using ground-based telescopes on the campus of USAFA and across the world with the Falcon Telescope Network (FTN). One research area of emphasis is manmade satellite characterization via non-resolvable imaging using various optical remote sensing modalities (e.g., photometry, spectroscopy, and polarimetry). For this call, we are specifically looking for research in support of:

1.     Calibration of the USAFA telescopes for slitless spectroscopy.

2.     The application of slitless spectroscopy on manmade satellite characterization.

3.     The extraction of satellite features and characteristics from spectral signatures alone and in concert with satellite photometric and polarimetric signatures using machine learning or other data analysis/fusion algorithms.

The researcher is expected to complete the research on-site at the United States Air Force Academy and to incorporate cadet participation in the projects, typically one to two cadets per semester.

 

REQUIREMENT DESCRIPTIONThe United States Air Force Academy is soliciting white papers for research under Section I – Opportunity Description (a)(15), Center for Space Situational Awareness Research (Department of Physics) in the Broad Agency Announcement USAFA-BAA-2021 posted on 2 December 2020 specifically for Space Domain Awareness Grand Challenge – Ground-Based Spectral Signatures of Satellites.
