SPACE EXPLORATION AND EXPORT REFORM

Previously, all spacecraft, specially designed parts and components, and production equipment subject to ITAR

—International Space Station was lone EAR spacecraft

Regulatory change is causing NASA to evaluate jurisdiction and classification on a mission by mission basis

Preliminary indications are that the changes will benefit NASA’s international collaborations in space exploration

Changes are eagerly anticipated by many of NASA’s international partners

Assessment is ongoing

Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter

Applying Export Reform to MRO

NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) is orbiting Mars searching for evidence that water persisted on the surface of Mars for a long period of time.

MRO’s science instruments zoom in for extreme close-up photography of the Martian surface, analyze minerals, look for subsurface water, trace how much dust and water are distributed in the atmosphere, and monitor daily global weather. The MRO is also a powerful communications and navigation link.

To demonstrate the impact that Export Reform will have on the Mars Program, we’ve classified these instruments using the new rules to see which, if any, will be transferred from the ITAR to the EAR.

ELECTRO-OPTICAL REMOTE SENSING

Electro-optical devices operate by modification of the optical properties of a material by an electric field.

Spectral bands - regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, such as ultraviolet radiation, visible radiation, etc.

Clear aperture – the diameter or size of an optical component that must meet specifications.

Multi-spectral imaging captures image data at specific frequencies across the electromagnetic spectrum – the opposite of panchromatic, which records only the total intensity of radiation falling on each pixel.

Hyperspectral imaging is spectral imaging with more numerous bands, finer spectral resolution or wider spectral coverage.

Full width at half maximum - FWHM is used to describe a measurement of the width of an object in a picture, when that object does not have sharp edges.

Ground sample distance (GSD) – Distance between pixel centers measured on the ground. The smaller the value of the image GSD, the higher the spatial resolution of the image and the more details that are visible.

SPACECRAFT DEFINITIONS

ITAR Spacecraft Provide for sub-orbital, Earth orbital, cis-lunar, lunar, deep space (i.e., space beyond lunar orbit), and planetary spaceflight, or in-space human habitation, which have integrated propulsion other than that required for attitude control;

articles.

EAR Spacecraft
