Institutionalizing change in aerospace process and product settings
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
The use of satellite-based technology in developing countries
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
Satellite technology in the areas of remote sensing, communication, and navigation can provide valuable information in a number of areas from business to disaster management to agriculture. There is great potential for ...
Assessing and mitigating vulnerability chains in model-centric acquisition programs
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
Acquisition programs increasingly use model-centric approaches, generating and using digital assets throughout the lifecycle. Model-centric practices have matured, yet in spite of sound practices there are uncertainties ...
A cost model for testing unmanned and autonomous systems of systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
The evolutionary nature of Unmanned and Autonomous Systems of Systems (UASoS) acquisition needs to be matched by equally evolutionary test capabilities in the future. There is currently no standard method to determine what ...
Deployment related mental health care seeking behaviors in the U.S. military and the use of telehealth to mitigate their impacts on access to care
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
Interviewees report that groups of service members returning from Iraq and Afghanistan often require substantial amounts of mental health care, causing surges in demand at military hospitals. These hospitals have difficulty ...
Quantifying technology infusion and policy impact on low earth orbit communication satellite constellations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
Technology infusion and policy implementation bring impacts to the trade space of complex engineering systems. This work describes in detail the frameworks for quantitative analyses on these impacts, demonstrates their use ...
Unique abilities of hopper spacecraft to enable national objectives for solar system exploration
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
In comparison with conventional and other conceived approaches, hopper spacecraft offer unique advantages in exploring Solar System objects beyond Earth. The present work began with a survey - based on documents from the ...
The impact of launch vehicle constraints on space system design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
What drives spacecraft innovation? : a quantitative analysis of communication satellite history
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
The overall goal of this research is to develop a better understanding of how innovation can, and should, happen in the space sector. Part A: Towards an Empirical Measure of Spacecraft Innovation, frames the discussion of ...
A micro- and macro- analysis of human-machine interfaces and systems in space
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Humans and machines interact with each other on a variety of scales. Interactions can involve tightly coupled interfaces or even be socio-technical in nature. In terms of large complex systems, humans learn to interact and ...
