TACTICAL SPACE EXPLOITATION
Abstract
The Tactical Space Exploitation initiative explores the application of new space craft technologies on small, light-weight and low-cost satellites, to enhance naval warfighting capabilities by taking advantage of the global access, revisit and connectivity provided by orbital platforms. a) Spacecraft Technology: Affordable, expendable payload and bus technologies will be developed, which will serve as building blocks for future responsive space systems: payloads, bus technologies and significant space robotic technologies that address on-orbit inspection, servicing, repair and assembly, and mission-life extension. The following are non-inclusive examples of accomplishments and plans for projects funded in this activity:
