eSpace Seminar - USSF-MIT researchers present their work : AI Technologies and simulation tools for SSA - Space Sustainability and Policy

Captain Jacqueline Smith is a Chief of Staff Captain’s Prestigious PhD Fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). She is currently pursuing research in Space Policy and Sustainability in the Aeronautics and Astronautics department at MIT in collaboration with
the Space Enabled division of the MIT Media Lab. Previously, Capt. Smith served as the Digital Transformation and Innovation Officer for Space Launch Delta 45, project lead within the Space Force Headquarters Chief Technology and Innovation Office (founder of the Supra Coders program), and Director of Space CAMP (a software factory focused on the continuous development and deployment of space command and control applications). Captain Smith has a B.S. in Mathematics from the University of New Mexico and an M.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs.
 
Captain Jacqueline Smith will cover:
 

• Utilizing the Space Sustainability Rating for emerging space nation missions
• Modeling NASA collision avoidance actions using the Environment-Vulnerability-Decision-Technology framework
• Continuing supervision (Article VI of the Outer Space Treaty) of in-space servicing activities from a US government stakeholder perspective using Systems Architecture Framework

• Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) approaches for scalable ground-based sensor tasking.
• Modeling the population evolution of lethal non-trackable objects in LEO using the MIT Orbital Capacity Tool (MOCAT)
• Comparison of simulated data using the NASA Standard Break-up Model (SBM) and empirical data collected by the Space Fence radar for known break-up events.
