A formation planning of research and development center for multi-functional smart space systems

Abstract

In this paper, a formation planning of research and development center for multi-functional smart space systems is introduced. A smart space system is defined as a component and/ or a system with multi-function and high-performance that are also convenient for users. In the center, we will research and develop the smart space systems and provide space project support services to researchers, engineers, customers and newcomers to space activities. In a plan, we will consider, for example, a machine learning based attitude sensor, lightweight high-rigidity expansion/storage boom and array, a deployable antenna for high speed communication as smart space components, and a microsatellite system with variable shape function as a smart space system. Also, information sharing service on on-orbit observation data and processing techniques, and utilization service of testing and operation facilities will be provided. We are aiming at creating space activities such as producing not only new space engineering and science but also space venture, space business, and so on, for the contribution to society.
