Abstract: The Small Satellite Reliability Initiative (SSRI), in conjunction with NASA’s Small Spacecraft Systems Virtual Institute (S3VI), has developed the SSRI Knowledge Base: a comprehensive, publicly available online tool that aims to improve mission confidence for future small spacecraft. This tool provides vetted, high-quality sources of information on key elements of a successful mission. This content includes best practices and lessons learned from previous missions and Knowledge Base “resources”. These resources include publicly available SSRI-generated content in addition to existing guides, publications, standards, software tools, websites, and books.
Acknowledging the constant increase and varied sources of small spacecraft knowledge, along with the value and depth of experience that exists beyond any single development team, the SSRI Knowledge Base is designed to be an open, collaborative platform. User participation is essential to the refinement and growth of this tool. Therefore, users are encouraged to rate resources and to submit feedback, questions, lessons learned, and best practices.
This webinar will discuss the motivation for and development of the SSRI Knowledge Base, demonstrate the existing tool, and outline plans for further development. A link to the Knowledge Base will be provided for the small satellite community to begin using the tool and providing feedback and content.
Speaker Bio: Robbie is CEO and Co-founder of Sedaro Technologies, a provider of cloud-based satellite mission design and systems engineering software for the SmallSat/NewSpace community. He was previously the first employee and Product Development Manager at Ibeos, a space avionics provider. At Ibeos, Robbie managed the design, manufacture, and test of small satellite products. Robbie received his B.S. in Aerospace Engineering and Ph.D. in Applied Physics and Space Engineering from Virginia Tech, where he led the mechanical design of three space plasma instruments for the LAICE CubeSat mission. Robbie has held research positions developing physics-based models of spacecraft attitude and orbit dynamics at Los Alamos National Laboratory, Air Force Research Laboratory, and the German Centre for Quantum Engineering and Space-Time Research.
S3VI encourages the community to submit questions before the webinar to enable more directed responses. Please send questions to raquel.l.redhouse@nasa.gov.
