Steve Chien, 2024, "Exploring Beyond Earth using Space Robotics: Update", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.2EZLHN, science robotics, JPL Open Repository
Robotic spacecraft enable exploration of our solar system, beyond our human presence. While spacecraft have explored every planet in the solar system, the frontiers of space robotics are at the cutting edge of landers, rovers, and now atmospheric explorers where robotic spacecraf... |

Steve Chien, 2024, "Sensorweb Systems for Global High-Resolution Monitoring of Environmental Phenomena", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.AGWI0O, Journal of Aerospace Information Systems, JPL Open Repository
Many science phenomena are difficult to observe because they occur infrequently and without warning. Over the course of the last twenty years, the concept of a "sensorweb", or a network of interdependent instruments that autonomously coordinate to observe phenomena of interest, h... |

Alberto Candela Garza, 2023, "Dynamic Targeting to Improve Earth Science Missions", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.0OIGNE, Journal of Aerospace Information Systems, JPL Open Repository
Dynamic Targeting (DT) is an emerging concept in which data from a lookahead instrument is used to intelligently reconfigure and point a primary instrument to enhance science return. For example, in the Smart Ice Hunting Radar (SMICES) a forward-looking radiometer is used to dete... |

Jason Swope, 2023, "Using Unsupervised and Supervised Learning and Digital Twin for deep Convective Ice Storm Classification", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.WDMBIJ, 32nd international Joint Confernece on Artificial Intelligence, JPL Open Repository
Smart Ice Cloud Sensing (SMICES) is a small-sat concept in which a primary radar intelligently targets ice storms based on information collected by a lookahead radiometer. Critical to the intelligent targeting is accurate identification of storm/cloud types from eight bands of ra... |

James Mason, 2023, "USING A SENSORWEB FOR HIGH-RESOLUTION FLOOD MONITORING ON A GLOBAL SCALE", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.NPSP7I, 2023 IEEE IGARSS International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, JPL Open Repository
Flooding has serious environmental and humanitarian effects. To track these effects, previous work has used remote sensing to achieve global monitoring at low to moderate resolutions or regional monitoring at high resolutions. We proposed that implementing a new sensorweb that ha... |
