1 Emerging Technologies Committee Space Subcommittee Report Inside Aerospace, Washington D.C., May 10, 2011 May 10, 2011 Anthony R. Gross, Chair, ETC – Space Technical Subcommittee

2 Agenda 2011 Goals & Objectives New Members Watch List Review Proposed 2011 Submittals to Air Force Scientific Advisory Board “Top 10” List for 2011

3 2011 Goals & Objectives Strengthen the Subcommittee · Increase membership in areas key to future space missions · Scrub and update membership roster · Identify membership gap analysis to focus recruiting Identify at least one new space-related technology and associated ‘champion’ for inclusion in TAC Projects Identify a systematic process by which new space-related technologies can be discovered Refine the process and results by which current AIAA technology areas are identified and made searchable Strengthen the knowledgebase of new technologies and processes E.g., NASA Technology Roadmaps

4 Recent New Members Dr. Michael SimsAutomation and Robotics Intelligent Systems Division NASA Ames Research Center Mr. Lewis L. Peach Jr.Technology Development Consultant

5 “Top 10” List for 2009 1. "Greener Aviation" Technologies - including emission-reduction and noise-reduction technologies (ref. FAA's Continuous Low Emissions, Energy and Noise (CLEEN) program and European Environmentally Friendly Engine (EFE) program and "Clean Sky" Joint Technology Initiative.) 2. Alternative Fuels - including biofuels (ref. Commercial Aviation Alternative Fuels Initiative (CAAFI) and FAA Grant to the X PRIZE Foundation to Spur Renewable Aviation Fuels and Technologies) 3. High-Speed Flight Technologies - including supersonic and hypersonic aerodynamics, sonic boom reduction, thermal management etc.) 4. Efficient Propulsion Technologies - including Open Rotors and Geared Turbofans (ref. European program DREAM - valiDation of Radical Engine Architecture systeMs) 5. Active Flow Control Technologies - including plasma actuators 6. Advanced Materials - including nanotechnology, composites, etc. 7. Active Structures - including Shape Memory Alloys, morphing, flapping, etc. 8. Health Management - including monitoring, prognostics, self-healing, etc. 9. Remote Sensing Technologies - including UAVs and satellites (ref. Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) program) 10. Advanced Space Propulsion Technologies - including plasma-based propulsion (ref. Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket) and solar sails

6 Proposed 2011 Space Technical Subcommittee Submittal to the Air Force Scientific Advisory Board The Role of Humans and Machines in the Future of Space Operations + For a particular mission, what is the optimum balance between humans and intelligent systems + How does the optimum balance vary with increasing intelligent system capability
