These concepts have been proposed after a three week workshop held by the European Association of Aerospace Engineers EUROAVIA and the European Space Agency ESA. The UAV designs have been a combined effort of a total of 30 European engineering students. The students had to transfer broad ESA requirements into a mission statement, specific requirements and a clear scientific mission goal. All three designs will be addressed in this paper up to a subsystems level detail. In addition, the design implications of the Martian environment, specifically on UAV design, will be addressed. <br/> <br/>Description: This presentation was part of the session : Cross Cutting Technologies; Sixth International Planetary Probe Workshop Wed, 25 Jun 2008 22:58:59 GMT http://smartech.gatech.edu/handle/1853/26453 Title: Implementation of Wireless TPS Sensors <br/> <br/>Authors: Atkinson, David; Swanson, Greg; Schlee, Justin <br/> <br/>Abstract: The initial development of a wireless TPS sensor system has proposed many inquiries to the requirements and benefits compared to the wired technology presently used for flight. The University of Idaho and NASA Ames have prototyped and tested a wireless multi nodal sensor system. A flight system integration analysis has been conducted to compare the integration of a wireless Thermal Protection System (TPS) sensor network to a wired system. A case study of the LE-X sensor suite has been completed to compare and contrast the mass, power, cost and data requirements between each topology. <br/> <br/>Description: This presentation was part of the session : Poster Sessions; Sixth International Planetary Probe Workshop Mon, 23 Jun 2008 22:58:59 GMT http://smartech.gatech.edu/handle/1853/26452 Title: High Temperature Sensors and Electronics for Venus Missions <br/> <br/>Authors: Hunter, Gary W. <br/> <br/>Description: This presentation was part of the session : Short Courses; Sixth International Planetary Probe Workshop Fri, 20 Jun 2008 22:58:59 GMT
