APPENDICES APPENDIX A: TECHNICAL EXHIBITS SESSION II The Technical Exhibits Session was a unique opportunity to observe displays and dem- onstrations of state-of-the-art hardware, design and analysis tools, and services applica- ble to advancement of guidance, navigation, and control technology. The latest commer- cial tools for GN&C simulations, analysis, and graphical displays were demonstrated in a hands-on, interactive environment, including lessons learned and undocumented fea- tures. Associated papers not presented in other sessions were also provided and could be discussed with the authors. Local Chairpersons: Kristen Francis Lockheed Martin Space Systems Meredith Larson Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp The Technical Exhibits did not consist of formal written text, and therefore papers for this session were not available for publication. The following papers and paper numbers were not available for publication, or were not assigned: AAS 11-021 to -030 1021 APPENDIX B: CONFERENCE PROGRAM PROGRAM Becky Petteys, (MathWorks ) th 36 ANNUAL AAS GUIDANCE & 13-005 GRAVMOD2: A New Tool for Precise CONTROL CONFERENCE Gravitational Modelling of Planetary Moons February 1 to February 6, 2013 and Small Bodies, Zuccarelli, V.

Russell Institute of Geophysics & Planetary Physics University of California Los Angeles, CA, USA Cover illustration: NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft was launched on 2006 January 19, received a grav- ity assist during a close approach to Jupiter on 2007 February 28, and is now headed for a flyby with closest approach 12,500 km from the center of Pluto on 2015 July 14. This artist’s depiction shows the spacecraft shortly after passing above Pluto’s highly variegated surface, which may have black-streaked surface deposits produced from cryogenic geyser activity, and just before passing into Pluto’s shadow when solar and earth occultation experiments will probe Pluto’s tenuous, and possibly hazy, atmosphere. Sunlit crescents of Pluto’s moons Charon, Nix, and Hydra are visible in the background. After flying through the Pluto system, the New Horizons spacecraft could be re-targeted towards other Kuiper Belt Objects in an extended mission phase.

    Tiny robotic helicopter to take off with Mars 2020 rover By Washington Post, adapted by Newsela staff on 05.25.18 Word Count 585 Level 720L The Mars Helicopter, a small, autonomous spacecraft. Image from NASA, JPL-Caltech NASA is the U.S. space group. It has spent 50 years exploring Mars, the fourth planet from the sun. NASA has sent orbiters and rovers to explore Earth's neighbor. But the space group's next mission is different. It will be the first to send a tiny robot helicopter to another planet. NASA made the announcement on May 11. It said the Mars Helicopter will fly inside the Mars 2020 rover when it launches in two years. The helicopter is a small spacecraft. Its spinning rotor is only about 3 feet long. The mission will serve mainly as a test of NASA's technology. The group has never done anything like this before. It wants to find out what is needed to fly a helicopter over a planet that is 140 million miles away. Thin Atmosphere It took four years of testing to create the helicopter. That is because operating a spacecraft on the Red Planet is difficult. Mars' atmosphere is very thin. The atmosphere is the layer of gases that This article is available at 5 reading levels at https://newsela.com. surrounds the planet. On Mars, hovering just 10 feet above the surface is like soaring 100,000 feet above Earth. That's because Earth has a thicker atmosphere than Mars. The altitude record for helicopters on Earth is 40,000 feet.
