The EPM has been developed for supporting space exploration applications, specifically for lunar surface missions.
Finally, examples of non-configurational flexibility (e.g., software and trajectory flexibility) in space exploration applications are identified and discussed.
Advanced energy storage and power management systems designed through rigorous materials selection, testing and analysis processes are essential to ensuring mission longevity and success for space exploration applications.
Nasa's Glenn Research Center in Ohio is performance testing a PEM fuel cell engineering model power plant designed and built under contract by Teledyne Energy Systems, developed for space exploration applications.
The main disadvantage of these two methods is the need for automated parallelization of applications and design space exploration at application level.
The renewed interest in human space exploration – with an application process already underway to select two astronauts for an ambitious Mars mission – demands efforts to ensure the safety of astronauts venturing far from Earth's natural deflector shield, its magnetic field.
In our previous work, we proposed a novel queue processor architecture as a starting point for hardware/software design space exploration for embedded applications.
Though the centre currently has only 10 employees, GSSTC hopes to build its human capacity by partnering with the Space Generation Advisory Council branch in Ghana (SGAC-Ghana), which seeks to engage university students and young professionals in collaborations related to space exploration and its applications.
When Albert Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1921 for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect, there were still so many advancements that would stem from his work, from the control of atomic energy to space exploration and even applications of light.
Figure 1 depicts the configuration space exploration for such an application.
