Dr. Christopher Petersen and Dr. Tori Miller have partnered  to launch the Space Mission Institute, an interdisciplinary hub for space research. The goal is to imagine the future of space exploration, where self-guided satellites repair and upgrade one another and where we can build structures in space far too big to launch from Earth.  Dr. Petersen researches lightweight, computationally aware algorithms that accomplish mission goals with minimal resources. Some missions need satellites to act every couple seconds; other satellites may only need to act every few hours “There is a wide spectrum of people here who are interested in space technologies but do not have a good way to start.  We need to leverage those who are not traditionally in space to promote innovation,” Petersen said.
