TRANSCRIPT
The mission of HSFL is to: promote innovative engineering
and science research for terrestrial and planetary space missions
develop, launch, and operate small spacecraft from the Hawaiian Islands to accelerate the validation of new space technologies
provide workforce training in all aspects of unmanned space missions
promote synergistic collaborations between educational, governmental, and corporate institutions interested in space exploration

Benefits to HIGP/SOEST
HIGP faculty research opportunities NASA, NOAA Terrestrial Remote Sensing NSF Space Weather NASA Planetary Missions
HSFL leverages greater collaboration and partnership opportunities for HIGP faculty. NASA Centers and Mission Directorates DoD agencies State agencies and corporations (NovaSol)
Demonstrated experience for HIGP Faculty as Mission PI – NASA Programs
Highly competitive research proposals End-to-end mission support capability based
entirely in Hawaii. Added attraction for new faculty hires.
Benefits to State of Hawaii
State Economic Infrastructure 2-6 planned launch activities beginning in 2011 will require
infrastructure support network for satellite and rocket components
At least 60 new technical jobs related to aerospace 6 new HSFL-related program management teams at PMRF consisting
of 3 people 3 launch crews of 15 technicians each ?? More positions for telemetry and range support
Tens of millions in UH/State revenue Windward Community College
Offers Associate Degree in Aerospace serving as a pipeline to HSFL programs.
Aerospace Lab will serve as outreach and educational component of HSFL. Dr. Joseph Ciotti will lead effort.
Upgrades to Windward CC Aerospace Lab will serve as “virtual” Mission Control Center for the HSFL.
Kauai Community College Training program established through Kauai CC
High paying, high technology jobs for State residents
Science Mission: CRESPO
Coral Reef Observations Global , comprehensive,
quantitative survey and distribution of living coral.
Hyperspectral remote sensing 450 km near polar circular orbit 1 year duration minimum >3000 total target scenes
ImpementationAmes Bench top to Mission (Utilizing
pressure vessel architecture)Novasol Small 60-band hyperspectral
imager Micro HIS VNIRwith sorting filter
(800-100nm)
Costs Privately funded mission
(Castle Foundation and Google)
Ames is seeking internal funds for S/C labor cost.
Estimated costs $6-7M. Study is still ongoing.

ParameterRequirement for Maritime
Hyperspectral Imaging from Space
Rationale
Off-nadir pointing +/-30 deg To increase scene access frequency
Spectral Range400 - 800 nm•800-1000nm or 900-1800nm
Water-penetrating wavelengths NIR for atmospheric correction
Spectral Channel Width
10 nm Sufficient resolution to resolve spectral
features
Signal to Noise Ratio> 200 to 1 for a 5% surface
albedo sceneProvides adequate residual SNR after
atmospheric removal
Polarization Sensitivity
< 5%Sensor response to be insensitive to
polarized atm light
Ground Sample Distance
100 meters( 30%?)
Comparable to scale of coastal features
Scene SizeHundreds to Thousands of
square kilometersTo encompass the scale of coastal
dynamics
HSFL Facilities: Launch Support
Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF)Local launch facility and
mission support Using launcher within
PMRF boundariesHSFL/UH to enter into
host-tenant agreement with PMRF that will allow HSFL launch facility.
Launch Vehicle
Kauai Test Facility (KTF)/ Sandia National Lab Experience with solid rockets and
missile design. Heritage working with PMRF as
on-site contractor SPARK-I: Space-borne Payload
Assist Rocket – Kauai. Can send 150 kg to low-Earth orbit (400 km)
Future SPARK II: 300 kg to low-Earth orbit
SPARK II capable of planetary missions
KTF will provide technology transfer to University of Hawaii
Integration and Test
College of Engineering facility with 5300 square feet of space
Vice Chancellor for Research and SOEST Dean allocate funds for clean room equipment.
Clean rooms in UH/POST will be used to assemble satellites. Systems integration Thermo-vac testing Vibration testing Electronics testing for launch
vehicle component integration
Spacecraft
Partner with NASA Centers and others to advance small spacecraft design.
Design, build, launch, and operate 30-70-kg microsatellite that can be configured for a variety of science and educational tasks.
Support technology validation missions for NASA as well as other University or corporate missions.
Draw from cadre of EE and ME students in CoE CubeSat Group
Mission Operations
UH/HSFL maintains receiving stations that will be moved to roof of Holmes in 2009.
Ground station provides command and control broadcast as well as data downlink capabilities.
Mission Ops Center in POST 527.
Back-up Mission Ops from PMRF.
Funding and Support
Current Support Congressional
FY 08: $3.277 Million through Army Space and Missile Defense Command
FY 09: $3.884 Million through Air Force Operationally Responsive Space
UH/SOEST$1.4 Million: HSFL Mission Ops Center, HSFL
Integration and Test Facility Other Support
Rocket Motors MDA: 4 GEM-40 first stage motors = $8.8 MillionSNL: 2 Star-27 third stage motors = $2.2 Million Pending AF/ORS: 2 SR-73 second stage motors =
$3.2 MillionFuture Pending ULA: 73 GEM-46 first stage motors ~
$160 Million Motors would be donated to UH/HSFL
Vandenberg Air Force Base Scout Launcher Telemetry Support: NWSC Corona
HSFL Future Prospects
HIGP faculty research opportunities with new HSFL missions. Funds from launch operations would be used to
stimulate new HIGP faculty research and mission concepts.
UH to become the gateway for university-class and small satellite space access. Potential to relieve log-jam of national small satellite projects waiting for space validation of hardware.
UH to provide unique, one-of-a kind student training and research opportunities from spacecraft design to launch to on-orbit operations.
Reliable, low-cost access to Earth orbit for small payloads. Total cost is $9.0 million/launch; $2.25 million
each for 4 small satellites. Workforce development and training spawning hi-
technology activities on many islands.
HSFL Summary
If Hawaii were a country, we would be the 8th “nation” in the world to have this capability. Instead, we’ll be the only university worldwide that can do build, launch and maintain satellites in space.
HSFL is seeking new proposals for science and technology demonstration missions to support HIGP, SOEST, and UH faculty research!
