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

  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 Sims Automation 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
