#2572 Photonic Matrix Computing ---- TBD_TBD_TBD ----

#2572 Photonic Matrix Computing Optical computing: Large-scale programmable logic array achieves complex computations https://techxplore.com/news/2024-10-optical-large-scale-programmable-logic.html Light Takes Over: Breakthrough Optical Array Revolutionizes Computing https://scitechdaily.com/light-takes-over-breakthrough-optical-array-revolutionizes-computing/https://techxplore.com/news/2024-10-hard-problems-3d-photonics.html they have developed a large-scale optical programmable logic array (PLA) capable of handling complex computations. This optical PLA leverages parallel spectrum modulation to achieve an 8-input system, greatly enhancing the scope of optical logic operations. https://techxplore.com/news/2022-12-optical-approach-ultrafast.html https://phys.org/news/2024-10-logic-diffraction-optical-based-parallel.html https://phys.org/news/2024-07-advanced-optical-method-multiplexed-encryption.html https://techxplore.com/news/2024-01-propagation-highly-efficient-neural-networks.html ...

#2571 Software Development Project Documents

#2571 Software Development Project Documents I am beginning work on a large software project for NASA that requires compliance with CMMI-DEV Level 3 for software development, NASA NPR 7150.2D Software Engineering Requirements and NASA-STD-8739.8B Software Assurance and Software Safety. List and describe in priority order the software planning and process documents I need to develop. Based on CMMI-DEV Level 3 and NASA NPR 7150.2D, and a software develoment project that includes both Class A and Class C software, much of which is safety-critical software, what are the major topics that must be covered in the Software Development Plan (SDP)? Provide an example Scope and Objectives for a manned rocket that is designed to take crewmembers to and from the International Space Station. All flight software will be deemed Class A, and supporting build tools, models, simulations and testing tools will be Class C. Provide an example section on Software Life Cycle and Development Model that include...

#2570 New Glenn Rocket; Alternatives to MASS-ive First Stage Structure

#2570 New Glenn Rocket; Alternatives to MASS-ive First Stage Structure #2570 New Glenn rocket The New Glenn rocket, developed by Blue Origin, is a massive heavy-lift launch vehicle designed for both crewed and uncrewed missions to low Earth orbit and beyond. Named after astronaut John Glenn, this two-stage rocket stands at over 320 feet (98 meters) tall and boasts a reusable first stage, designed to land vertically on a droneship named "Jacklyn" after liftoff. This reusable design mirrors aspects of SpaceX’s Falcon 9, although New Glenn features some distinct aerodynamic additions, such as four adjustable fins and two stabilizing strakes to control airflow during descent, enhancing its reusability and stability. Powered by seven BE-4 engines in the first stage (using liquid methane and liquid oxygen), the rocket generates significant thrust and can carry payloads of up to 45 metric tons to low Earth orbit or 6.8 metric tons to lunar orbit. The second stage, equipped with two ...

#2569 Virtual Lunar Mission Challenge [Lunarversity]

#2569 Virtual Lunar Mission Challenge [Lunarversity] #2569 I want to develop a NASA-backed university challenge where teams plan and implement virtual moon missions. All planning and "results" would be documented in SharePoint. What are major topics that should be covered by each team in planning and "implementing" their moon mission? Major Topics for University Moon Mission Challenge: Mission Objectives & Scientific Goals Define mission goals (e.g., habitat construction, resource extraction, or scientific research). Detail key experiments and scientific outcomes targeted. Mission Timeline & Phases Develop a mission timeline with phases such as pre-launch, lunar descent, surface operations, and return. Outline key milestones and contingencies. Crew & Equipment Selection Decide on crew composition and skill sets required for the mission. Select equipment for lunar activities (rovers, habitat modules, scientific instruments). Lunar Environment Assessment A...

#2567 Software Project Build and Release Options vor C++

#2567 Software Project Build and Release Options vor C++ #2567 When planning a large software project, what are build and release options for C++ Be Serious: When planning a large software project in C++, the build and release options must align with the project's requirements, team workflows, and deployment goals. Here are some common build and release strategies used for large-scale C++ projects: 1. Local and CI/CD Builds Local Builds : Each developer builds the project on their local machine, helpful for rapid iteration and debugging. This usually includes setup scripts and environment configurations to ensure consistency across machines. Continuous Integration (CI) Builds : Automated build systems, like Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, or GitHub Actions, run builds every time code is pushed to the repository. This includes compiling the code, running tests, and generating artifacts. Continuous Deployment (CD) : The CI system can be configured to deploy releases to staging environments au...

#2566 Software Safety Plan Based on NASA-STD-8719.13C

#2566 Software Safety Plan Based on NASA-STD-8719.13C #2566 Summarize NASA-STD-8719.13C NASA-STD-8719.13C, "NASA Software Safety Standard," establishes guidelines for ensuring safety in software used in NASA projects. It covers the lifecycle requirements of software systems from design through decommissioning, with a strong emphasis on hazard analysis, risk management, and safety assurance processes. Key aspects include: Safety-Critical Software Determination : Identifying software that can impact system safety, focusing on software elements with the potential for human harm, mission failure, or significant environmental damage. Risk Assessment and Hazard Analysis : Procedures for assessing risks associated with software and conducting hazard analysis to identify and mitigate potential safety risks at each development stage. Safety Requirements Integration : Incorporating safety requirements throughout the software development lifecycle, aligning with NASA-specific and missio...
