(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)After centuries of studying the eight planets in our solar system, recent improvements in technology have given us the unprecedented opportunity to detect planets orbiting stars other than the sun, so-called exoplanets. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Over the last several decades of space flight, spacecraft thermal system modeling software has advanced significantly, but the model validation process, in general, has changed very little. Although most thermal systems ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Image segmentation and classification, the identification and demarcation of regions of interest within an image, is necessary prior to subsequent information extraction, analysis, and inference. Many available segmentation ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Learning from demonstration provides an attractive solution to the problem of teaching autonomous systems how to perform complex tasks. Demonstration opens autonomy development to non-experts and is an intuitive means of ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) are attractive elements for bearings in Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), because their structure comprises nested shells with no bonding and sub-nanometer spacing between them, enabling ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Nanoengineered hierarchal fiber architectures are promising approaches towards improving the inter- and intralaminar mechanical properties (e.g., toughness and strength) and non-mechanical properties of advanced fiber-reinforced ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)The development of hierarchical nanoengineered "fuzzy fiber" aerospace fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) composite laminates holds the potential for enabling future generations of lightweight, durable, and multifunctional ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1982)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Divergence is an inconsistency between the human's system state awareness and the actual system state. This research investigated divergence potential in air traffic controllers and identified controller divergence causes ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)As part of the MIT research program on micro-engines (of size [approximately] 1 cm), this thesis defines concepts and designs to improve micro-turbomachinery and overall system performance. Three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Harsh radiation in the form of ionized, highly energetic particles is part of the space environment and can affect the operation, performance, and lifetime of spacecraft and their instruments. Jupiter has the largest and ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The MISES quasi 3-D design/analysis code implements a two-equation integral method with empirical closure relations to solve the boundary layer flow problem with or without suction, but lacks the option of flow control via ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1965)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Over-subscription, that is, being assigned too many tasks or requirements that are too demanding, is commonly encountered in temporal planning problems. As human beings, we often want to do more than we can, ask for things ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Aerospace systems are among the most complex anthropogenic systems and require large quantities of systems knowledge to design successfully. Within the aerospace industry, an aging workforce places those with the most ...
