Description

The EventSat mission is a 6U CubeSat technology demonstration mission that is focused on evaluating event-based cameras for space situational awareness. Building upon existing work, which has demonstrated the effectiveness of these cameras on ground in conjunction with telescopes, our mission seeks to demonstrate the effectiveness of this class of camera for space-based observation. The EventSat mission payload has two objectives, carefully selected to maximize the impact of this technology demonstration and to address key performance questions about the use of event cameras in orbit. First, the mission seeks to develop a database of space-based event camera observations. Second, the mission will identify resident space objects in the event cameras field of view using the event camera.

The planned timeline for the mission involves a preliminary design review in early fall 2025, and a CDR in spring 2026. At present, there is a need to expand the associated project management for the whole mission to ensure that we can hit these specific milestones. As a member of the project management team, this semester thesis would focus on the development of the preliminary design document.  Tasks related to the preliminary design document would include writing the mission success criteria, risk matrix, and CONOPS.  This project is a great opportunity to get experience with project management related to a CubeSat mission.
