80NSSC18C0033 - FOR COMPLEX MISSIONS THAT ARE AWAY FROM EARTH'S RESOURCES, THERE IS AN UNMET NEED FOR MORE AUTONOMOUS OPERATIONS WITH MINIMAL EARTH CONTACT. ADDITIONALLY, SECURE PROXIMITY- AND AUTONOMOUS-COMMUNICATION AMONG VARIOUS TYPES OF SPACE VEHICLES ARE NEEDED TO IMPLEMENT COMPLEX AND TIME-VARYING NETWORKS OF SPACECRAFT AND SENSORS, WHICH ARE CAPABLE OF SHARING RICH, NEAR-REAL-TIME STREAMS OF INFORMATION. EFFICIENT, SECURE, MISSION-CONFIGURABLE, AND DYNAMIC KEY MANAGEMENT AND CIPHER SUITES SUPPORTING MULTIPLE QOS LEVELS FOR THE BUNDLE PROTOCOL ARE REQUIRED TO AUGMENT CURRENT AND FUTURE DELAY AND DISRUPTION TOLERANT NETWORKING (DTN) SOLUTIONS TO SATISFY THESE MISSION REQUIREMENTS. ANTARA S INNOVATION WILL ENHANCE THE SECURITY OF NASA S DTN IMPLEMENTATIONS, SPECIFICALLY, THE INTERPLANETARY OVERLAY NETWORK (ION), AND DELIVER A STANDARDS DRIVEN ADAPTATION OF THE CONSTRAINED APPLICATION PROTOCOL (COAP) OVER THE BUNDLE PROTOCOL (COAP-OVER-BP). PHASE II ACTIVITIES INCLUDE THE DEVELOPMENT OF TARACOAP CYBER-PHYSICAL AUTONOMOUS ASSET OBSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT MODULE. FURTHER R&D WILL DRIVE THE ELLIPTICAL CURVE CRYPTO KEY MANAGEMENT AND DISTRIBUTION MODULE, THE INTEROPERABLE ANTARATEK CIPHER SUITE FOR BPSEC, AND THE SCALABLE TARACOAP TO TRL-7. THE ANTARATEK SOFTWARE WILL ALSO BE TESTED WITH ISS DTN PAYLOAD COMMUNICATIONS (E.G., TREK). ADDITIONALLY, THE SOFTWARE WILL BE INFUSED TO RAD-HARD FPGAS AND FUTURE COMPUTE PLATFORMS SUCH AS THE HIGH PERFORMANCE SPACEFLIGHT COMPUTING CHIPLET. UTILIZING THE ION FRAMEWORK WILL LOWER THE COST AND THE TIME TO DEVELOP A HIGH TRL SOLUTION AND REDUCE IMPLEMENTATION RISK. ANTARA'S INNOVATIONS WILL DELIVER HIGHER SECURITY AND PERFORMANCE RELATIVE TO EXISTING SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY, SUPPORT COMPLEX AND TIME-VARYING NETWORKS, SCALE TO LARGE NETWORKS, AND ENABLE SECURE COMMUNICATIONS FOR THE SOLAR SYSTEM INTERNET. SUCCESSFUL DEPLOYMENT OF THE INNOVATION WILL ADDRESS NASA TECHNOLOGY GAPS TA5.3.1 AND TA5.3.3 AND ENHANCE THE STATE-OF-ART FOR DTN IMPLEMENTATIONS.

80NSSC18M0022 - THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP A WIRELESS BODY AREA NETWORK COMBINED WITH FLEXIBLE AND WEARABLE SENSORS THAT WILL COMPRISE A HEALTH MONITORING SYSTEM FOR SPACESUITS. THE PROJECT IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO PRIORITIES IN THE HUMAN EXPLORATION AND OPERATIONS MISSION DIRECTORATE AND THE SPACE TECHNOLOGY MISSION DIRECTORATE OF NASA. TO ADDRESS OUR GOAL, WE HAVE ASSEMBLED A MULTI-INSTITUTION AND MULTIDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH TEAM FROM SOUTH DAKOTA SCHOOL OF MINES AND TECHNOLOGY (SDSM&T), SOUTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY (SDSU), AND UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH DAKOTA (USD), ALONG WITH COLLABORATORS AT FOUR NASA RESEARCH CENTERS (JOHNSON SPACE CENTER, GLENN RESEARCH CENTER, AMES RESEARCH CENTER, AND LANGLEY RESEARCH CENTER) AND THREE INDUSTRY PARTNERS (ILC DOVER, L3 COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS-WEST, AND NANOPAREIL LLC). THIS COLLABORATION IS WELL POSITIONED TO ADDRESS THE GRAND CHALLENGES IN TECHNOLOGY AND SCIENCE OF WIRELESS COMMUNICATION, SENSOR DEVELOPMENT, NANOMATERIALS, AND OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH FOR A NEXT-GENERATION HEALTH MONITORING SYSTEM RELEVANT TO NASA MISSIONS. THIS PROJECT PROPOSES AN INTEGRATED RESEARCH PLAN TO (1) DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT A ROBUST, EFFICIENT, AND SECURE WIRELESS BODY AREA NETWORK OF SENSORS FOR COLLECTION AND TRANSMISSION OF REAL-TIME AND MULTI-DIMENSIONAL PHYSIOLOGICAL DATA OF HUMAN BODIES; (2) DEVELOP PROTOTYPE WIRELESS SENSOR NODES OF WEARABLE BIOMEDICAL AND STRAIN SENSORS THAT ARE LIGHTWEIGHT, CONFORMABLE, FLEXIBLE, AND STRETCHABLE; (3) INTEGRATE INNOVATIVE WEARABLE SENSOR NODES INTO THE WIRELESS BODY AREA NETWORK AND EVALUATE THE PERFORMANCE OF NETWORK; AND (4) BUILD NEW RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE AND CAPABILITY FOR WIRELESS SENSING SYSTEMS AND FLEXIBLE SENSOR DEVELOPMENT IN SOUTH DAKOTA. IN ADDITION TO THE RESEARCH GOALS, THE OTHER OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT ARE (1) TO PROVIDE HIGH-QUALITY RESEARCH AND EDUCATION FOR K-12, UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE STUDENTS; (2) TO STRENGTHEN THE SCIENCE, ENGINEERING AND HEALTHCARE PROGRAMS AT SDSM&T, SDSU AND USD; (3) TO FOSTER CLOSE PARTNERSHIP WITH NASA RESEARCH CENTERS, INDUSTRY, AND ACADEMIA; AND (4) TO INITIATE NEW TECHNOLOGY COMMERCIALIZATION AND PROMOTE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN SOUTH DAKOTA. THE OUTCOME OF THE PROJECT WILL ENABLE A WIRELESS NETWORK SYSTEM FOR REAL-TIME AND MULTI-DIMENSIONAL MONITORING OF THE PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS OF THE HUMAN BODY, WHICH WILL PROVIDE KEY TECHNOLOGIES FOR EVALUATION OF HEALTH IMPACTS OF THE SPACE ENVIRONMENT ON ASTRONAUTS. ADDITIONALLY, THIS PROJECT WILL CONTRIBUTE SIGNIFICANTLY TO THE RESEARCH AND EDUCATION INFRASTRUCTURE OF SOUTH DAKOTA, FURTHER STRENGTHEN THE RELATIONSHIP WITH NASA BY CREATING RECRUITMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR NASA RESEARCH CENTERS, AND PROMOTE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN THE STATE. THESE OUTCOMES ARE DIRECTLY RELEVANT TO NASA S TECHNOLOGY ROADMAP AREA TA 6: HUMAN HEALTH, LIFE SUPPORT AND HABITATION SYSTEMS; AS WELL AS OTHER AREAS INCLUDING TA 4: ROBOTICS AND AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS; TA: 8 SCIENCE INSTRUMENTS, OBSERVATORIES, AND SENSOR SYSTEMS; AND TA: 12 MATERIALS, STRUCTURES, MECHANICAL SYSTEMS, AND MANUFACTURING.

NNX16AB09G - CYBER PHYSICAL SYSTEMS ARE RAPIDLY TRANSFORMING INTO COMPLEX, NETWORKED COMPUTING SYSTEMS THAT ELECTRONICALLY CONTROL PHYSICAL SYSTEMS. FOR EXAMPLE, FUTURE AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS ARE LIKELY TO INCLUDE AUTONOMOUS DRIVING CAPABILITIES AND BE CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET FOR PASSENGER ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEMS AND DRIVING INFORMATION. UNFORTUNATELY, THE INCREASED COMPLEXITY OFTEN LEADS TO MORE SECURITY VULNERABILITIES. NETWORK CONNECTIVITY OPENS UP THESE VULNERABLE SYSTEMS TO REMOTE SOFTWARE ATTACKS THAT CAN HAVE REAL WORLD PHYSICAL DAMAGE. THIS PROJECT AIMS TO PROVIDE PROVABLE SECURITY AND SAFETY ASSURANCE FOR CYBER PHYSICAL SYSTEMS BY ENSURING THAT SAFETY CRITICAL OPERATIONS CANNOT BE AFFECTED BY POTENTIALLY MALICIOUS PARTS OF THE SYSTEM EXCEPT FOR EXPLICITLY CONTROLLED CASES. IN PARTICULAR, WE PROPOSE TO USE FINE GRAINED INFORMATION FLOW CONTROL IN BOTH HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE TO CONTROL HOW LOW INTEGRITY INFORMATION CAN AFFECT HIGH INTEGRITY CONTROL DECISIONS. THIS SECURITY ASSURANCE CAN THEN BE USED TO PROVIDE QUANTITATIVE SAFETY ASSURANCE BY ANALYZING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PROTECTED SAFETY MECHANISMS.

NNX14AR17A - THE NASA OLYMPIONICS PROGRAM WILL RECRUIT STUDENTS FROM FLORIDA COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND ENGAGE THEM IN A STEM EDUCATION PROGRAM FOCUSED ON SIMPLIFIED VERSIONS OF NASA'S TRADITIONAL CHALLENGES/PROJECTS TARGETED AT FOUR YEAR UNIVERSITIES. THIS CONCEPT IS BASED ON EVIDENCE FOUND IN A STUDY BY BRANDEIS UNIVERSITY WHICH CONCLUDES THAT THE FIRST ROBOTICS COMPETITION HAS RESULTED IN AN INCREASED NUMBER OF STUDENTS MATRICULATING INTO STEM DEGREES AT HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS. IT IS ALSO BASED ON RESULTS IDENTIFIED BY THE US NAVAL ACADEMY WHICH IDENTIFIES HOW THEIR CYBER WEEKEND COMPETITION, MODELED AFTER THE NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY'S CYBER DEFENSE COMPETITION, HAS DIRECTLY LED TO SIGNIFICANT INCREASES IN STUDENTS ENROLLING INTO ITS COMPUTER SCIENCE DEPARTMENT.
