Impacts of Low-Power Requirements on the LEMS HMS Design

May 15, 2023 by James Olsen

Spacecraft designs often require optimizations for low power. When low power is required, design options become limited. The Lunar Environment Monitoring Station (LEMS) exemplifies how requirements for low power can have ramifications across a system, even impacting Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) design. LEMS is a standalone instrument suite concept with a number of … [Read more...] about Impacts of Low-Power Requirements on the LEMS HMS Design

Commanding the James Webb Space Telescope: OSS and Event-Driven Operations

May 15, 2023 by Kyle Elliott

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a space-based, near- to mid-infrared observatory that follows a novel engineering design: Unlike its infrared predecessors such as the Spitzer Space Telescope and Herschel Space Observatory, and many other observatories of similar designs, JWST employs the use of a segmented primary mirror and a Sunshield the size of a tennis court. The … [Read more...] about Commanding the James Webb Space Telescope: OSS and Event-Driven Operations

Engineering the Magic

When the Enchanted Tiki Room opened at Disney-land in Anaheim, Calif., in 1963, it was, by all accounts, thrilling. Inside were dozens of talking flowers, totem poles, and birds-colorful macaws, toucans, and cockatoos-and together they per-formed a musical show by dancing and singing along to tunes like the “Hawaiian War Chant.” Huge crowds visited the attraction, excited to get a look at these early Audio-Animatronics-“audio” meaning that sound triggered a series of mechanisms, like cams and levers, that caused a pneumatic valve to open and close, moving an eye, a beak, or part of the body in time with the music. People loved them.
