SURF@JPL: Announcements of Opportunity
Announcements of Opportunity are posted by JPL technical staff for the SURF@JPL program. Each AO indicates whether or not it is open to non-Caltech students. If an AO is NOT open to non-Caltech students, please DO NOT contact the mentor.
Announcements of Opportunity are posted as they are received. Please check back regularly for new AO submissions!
**Students applying for JPL projects should complete a SURF@JPL application instead of a "regular" SURF application.
**Students pursuing opportunities at JPL must be U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents.

| Project: |
Modeling and Simulation of Planetary Space Platforms
(JPL AO No. 16125)
|
||||||||
| Disciplines: | Computer Science, Computer Engineering | ||||||||
| Mentor: |
Tristan Hasseler,
(JPL),
Tristan.Hasseler@jpl.nasa.gov, |
||||||||
| Background: | Space mission applications involving landers and surface exploration make extensive use of vehicle and environment models within their simulation testbeds. JPL's DARTS lab develops physics-based modeling, simulation and visualization tools for systems such as robotic platforms, surface planetary rovers, entry/descent/landing spacecraft, rotorcraft, cruise/orbiter spacecraft, etc. | ||||||||
| Description: | Possible projects include, but are not limited to: procedural generation of planetary terrains for simulation, developing a trimming pipeline for a Mars hexacopter, developing terramechanics models, improving physics-based lightning engines, or exploring ML tools for enhancing rendering products. Prospective students are also encouraged to propose projects that would advance the field of space modeling and simulation. | ||||||||

| Student Requirements: | Interested students should indicate the areas they may have specific interest in. Virtually all of the projects require good software skills (especially Python/C++) as well as familiarity with Unix environments. Some of the projects require a mechanical/aerospace/robotics background. | ||||||||
| Location / Safety: | Project building and/or room locations: . Student will need special safety training: . | ||||||||
