Jones\ , Associate Professor\, The University of Texas at Austin\n\nAbstract:\n\n Space Situational Awareness (SSA) requires accurate prediction and estimat ion of a space-object catalog to identify risks to existing missions\, det ect anomalous events in the space domain\, and ensure a safe environment f or future operations. This requires an interdisciplinary approach to SSA t hat leverages astrodynamics\, information fusion\, statistical and data sc iences\, and other fields of engineering and mathematics. This presentatio n highlights recent work in computationally efficient\, multi-fidelity unc ertainty propagation for improved SSA\, which leverages a hierarchy of sat ellite force models to reduce computation time in probability density func tion propagation. Such tools may be leveraged for multi-target tracking wi th >100\,000 space objects\, uncertainty propagation in the potentially ch aotic dynamics found in cislunar space\, and robust maneuvering target tra cking with temporally sparse observation data. This talk will also provide a high-level discussion of other research at UT-Austin\, including the SC OPE-1 satellite mission to demonstrate terrain-relative navigation technol ogies using a 3U cube satellite.\n\nBio:\n\nDr. Brandon Jones is an Associ ate Professor at the University of Texas at Austin in the Department of Ae rospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics. He and his students conduct research in space domain awareness\, multi-target filtering and tracking\ , computational methods for orbit state and uncertainty propagation\, and satellite navigation. Dr. Jones's research and software tools are used as part of the intra-formation conjunction assessment system for NASA's Magne tospheric Multi-Scale (MMS) mission. Dr. Jones has previously worked for o r with the Air Force Research Laboratories\, the NASA Johnson Space Center \, Goddard Space Flight Center\, and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory on rese arch related to space domain awareness\, uncertainty quantification\, mult i-fidelity methods\, and robust mission design.\n\nWhere: Online & Room 01 .05\, Building B01 (level 1) at UNSW Canberra City\, Constitution Avenue\, Reid\n\n[A map of a building\n\nAI-generated content may be incorrect.]\n \nOnline link: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_OTVi YjdjZjUtNjhiYS00Y2ExLTk5ZWItODVlYzc4ZjExODEz%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22T id%22%3a%223ff6cfa4-e715-48db-b8e1-0867b9f9fba3%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%2254161d c0-27a7-4593-b943-bf35a0e00257%22%7d\n\nSpeaker(s): Brandon\n\nRoom: 01.05 \, Bldg: Building B01 (Level 1)\, UNSW City Campus\, Constitution Avenue\, Reid\, Australian Capital Territory\, Australia\, Virtual: https://events .vtools.ieee.org/m/544721 LOCATION:Room: 01.05\, Bldg: Building B01 (Level 1)\, UNSW City Campus\, Co nstitution Avenue\, Reid\, Australian Capital Territory\, Australia\, Virt ual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/544721 ORGANIZER:fouad.karouta@ieee.org SEQUENCE:44 SUMMARY:Advanced Uncertainty Propagation for Space Situational Awareness URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/544721 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><strong><span style="font-size: 14.0pt\; c olor: black\; mso-color-alt: windowtext\; background: white\;">Title: </sp an></strong><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt\; color: black\; m so-color-alt: windowtext\; background: white\; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\;" >Advanced Uncertainty Propagation for Space Situational Awareness</span></ p>\n<p><strong><span style="font-size: 14.0pt\; color: black\; mso-color-a lt: windowtext\; background: white\;">When: 16 March\, Monday\, 5-6 pm&nbs p\;</span></strong></p>\n<p><strong><span style="font-size: 14.0pt\; color : black\; mso-color-alt: windowtext\; background: white\;">Speaker: </span ></strong><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt\; color: black\; mso -color-alt: windowtext\; background: white\; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\;">B randon A.
