Too Distant, Too Uncertain, Too Unforgiving: Assuring Autonomous Space Explorers We’ve Yet to Trust

The primary goal of this symposium is to initiate a collaborative investigation into a new assurance paradigm and to catalyze a community capable of realizing it. Our specific objectives include:

Too Distant, Too Uncertain, Too Unforgiving: Assuring Autonomous Space Explorers We’ve Yet to Trust

Bridging Exoplanet and Solar System Science

The primary objective of the workshop is to compare exoplanets with the planets within our solar system to advance the understanding of planetary systems in general.

Pulsar-based Navigation and Time Keeping for Space Exploration

The overall goal of the workshop is to define potential operational systems that incorporate either X-ray or radio sensors to provide pulsar measurements that enable autonomous navigation and timekeeping for interplanetary (or interstellar) spacecraft or lunar surface systems.

Crucial Carbon Stores and Fluxes in Desert Environments

Understanding carbon stores and fluxes in desert environments is crucial to reach conservation, regeneration, and carbon goals locally and globally. The first workshop will lay the groundwork for achieving a common understanding of science and measurement needs and technical feasibility.
