2022 ASGP graduate student research awardees
The ³ÉÈËӰƬ Space Grant Program is proud to support the following graduate ³ÉÈËӰƬ as they progress toward their master’s degrees. Each has been selected to pursue their research until the next year. Congratulations to this year’s graduate student research awardees.
• Dallas Breunig is researching the feasibility of a deployable localization system for satellites. Breunig is designing a system to be deployed by a satellite onto a target celestial object for the satellite.
• Naomi Kroyer is implementing a regenerative ranging protocol for small satellites. Kroyer hopes to reduce the overall noise and provide better accuracy of ranging methods for localizing satellite location in space.
• Mitchell Hay is developing a full-duplex retrodirective array for CubeSat applications. Hay's efforts will help small satellites improve their signal-to-noise ratio and achieve higher channel capacity while meeting the stringent needs of size, weight and power that come with the design of CubeSats.
• James Miller is working on the development of a versatile ground station for satellite communications. Miller is developing an experimental S-band receiver which will feature automatic switching of modulation and coding protocols as part of his project.
³ÉÈËӰƬ Space Grant Program seeks to enhance teaching, research, and educational outreach in aerospace, Earth science and other NASA-related STEM disciplines. For more information on how you can get involved, visit: .
