Improving Angle Estimation Accuracy for Millimeter-Wave Radars
Radar systems transmit electromagnetic waves through the air and the objects in the aperture reflect the signal. The reflected signal is captured by the radar to find the position, angle, and velocity of each object. Millimeter-wave (mmWave) radar is a subclass of radar systems that uses millimeter waves to operate. The main advantage of mmWave radars...

Origami structure as an expulsion bladder for a rocket tank
Challenge: Supply of vapor-free cryogenic liquid propellant in a rocket tank The key to propellant transfer in microgravity is the propellant management device (PMD), which ensures that vapor-free propellant is supplied from a source tank (e.g. a fuel depot) to a receiver tank or engine. Failure to do so for engines will result in combustion inefficiencies...
