The technical objectives are to perform a Laserlink experiment (detection of laser beam emitted by ESA/Tenerife ground station), flight demonstration of new technologies and on-board autonomy navigation.
The approach is through inversion of the non-linear simple geometric model (SGM) against 631 nm multi-angle reflectance data from the Compact High Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (CHRIS) flown on the European Space Agency's Project for On-Board Autonomy (Proba) satellite.
Targeting, hovering, surface sample acquisition and vehicle health monitoring and automatic safing actions will all require significant on-board autonomy due to the over 2 h round trip light time between Titan and Earth.
It is not clear, for example, how goal-based on-board autonomy, originally conceived for deductive-flavored systems which may not be ground controlled for indefinite portions of time, be able to combine with model based engineering, which best fits current industrial design strategies.
The PRoject for On Board Autonomy (PROBA) spacecraft is a mini-satellite operated by the European Space Agency.
Table 1 lists the parameters of the IFIS on HJ-1A comparing to those of HYPERION on Earth Observing 1 (EO-1) and Compact High Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (CHRIS) on PRoject for On-Board Autonomy (PROBA).
Tennessee Promise, the impetus for President Barack Obama's federal pitch for free tuition at community colleges nationwide, is another program designed to work in tandem with recently signed HB2578, which will give all schools outside of the University of Tennessee system board autonomy, but grants trustee appointing power to the governor.
A common theme was that health board autonomy led to different strategies towards e-health, and to incompatible local systems.
Health board autonomy is clearly a major factor in the external context affecting those developing e-health systems in Scotland, but in this paper we focus mainly (though not exclusively) on evidence about the internal context and the processes of implementation.
In accordance with the historical institutionalism literature [ 17], this approach begins with the assumption that the nature and design of governance mechanisms within agencies, such as governing board autonomy, technical capacity and cooperation with external members, determine the willingness and capacity of an agency to strengthen governance processes.
