On October 27, 2022, the U.S. Department of Defense publicly released the unclassified National Defense Strategy (NDS), a Congressionally-mandated review. This strategy sets the strategic direction of the Department to support U.S. national security priorities and flows directly from President Biden’s National Security Strategy. The NDS includes the Nuclear Posture Review (NPR) and the Missile…
As nontraditional, inland spaceports start to become operational, there is a need to understand the viability of deploying satellite constellations from these potential commercial offerings for launching. This work investigates how utilizing a small launch vehicle with these nontraditional spaceports can deploy a low Earth orbit constellation in each timeframe, competing with the traditional means of constellation deployment. This problem is framed as the “launch…

In a game-changing study, Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists developed a deep learning model — a type of artificial intelligence that mimics human brain function — to analyze high-speed videos of plasma plumes during a process called pulsed laser deposition, or PLD. The PLD technique uses powerful laser pulses to vaporize a target material, creating a cloud-like stream of atoms and particles — the plasma plume…
