The COMET-ORB invites you to a mini-seminar on Asteroid Exploration, and Advances in Autonomy for Small Body Missions will take place on March 19, 2024, from 9:30 to 11:50.
This seminar will be held by Prof. Jay McMahon of the University of Colorado at Boulder.
The presentation will be followed by a Q&A session.

Abstract:
A Brief Tour of Asteroid Exploration
In this talk I will review the history of asteroid exploration. I will walk through each of the missions that have been flown and discuss some of the features and main findings of the missions. I will focus a bit more on OSIRIS-REx and DART - two missions I was involved with - and then discuss current and future mission plans.
Exploring Further: Advances in Autonomy for Small Body Missions
This talk will discuss how autonomy can enable exciting new mission concepts for small body exploration and utilization. I will discuss a number of research topics carried out in my lab ranging from autonomous guidance, navigation and control to mission design, autonomous science operations, and finally discussing a new type of soft-robotic spacecraft that might enable some of these new mission concepts.
