ROSISat - the Radiation Orbital Shielding Investigation Satellite
Get PDFIn the last twenty years, CubeSats and similar small satellites have become increasingly popular, offering a cost-effective way to conduct important scientific activities in low Earth orbit compared to traditional satellites, including scientific research, education, technology demonstrations, and commercial applications like communication networks. The Radiation Orbital Shielding Investigation Satellite (ROSISat) is an ongoing 1U CubeSat project designed to study the effectiveness of different materials in shielding against radiation in space. The main goal of ROSISat is to carry out experiments testing nine different materials, including simulants of lunar and Martian regolith, to improve protection against single-event upsets to prepare for future missions to these celestial bodies. ROSISat will also carry a small camera and electromagnetic shutter system to study a compact low-power method to protect delicate payloads from the space environment. To aid in the development of ROSISat, some CubeSat components have been produced on-site, while more complex parts will be sourced externally. A prototype magnetorquer was designed and optimized using MATLAB and CAD software and machined for testing. The magnetic field strength produced by the magnetorquer prototype was measured at various points and found to be accurate to the theoretical models. The ROSISat team is preparing to apply for NASA’s CubeSat Launch Initiative next fall to secure a rideshare launch opportunity for our mission. Once in orbit, the data collected from these experiments will enhance the safety protocols and will have tangible implications for future space exploration missions, especially those to the Moon and Mars

Dr. Jon Haass, Participant
No full textJon C. Haass was the founding faculty and served as department chair of the Cyber Intelligence and Security degree programs at the nation’s first College of Security and Intelligence at Embry‑Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, Arizona. He served for more than two years as the interim Dean of the College, succeeding founding Dean Philip E. Jones. His vision for the Cyber department is to build upon the success as both a NSA/DHS designated Center of Academic Excellence and ABET accredited program through outreach to improve the national and international reputation through excellence in our graduates, impactful publications and grants, expansion of offerings in its degree programs and increased partnerships with private and public organizations.
Dr. Haass was appointed by Governor Ducey to represent northern Arizona on the Arizona Cybersecurity Team. He also serves as advisory board member for the Arizona Cyber Threat Response Alliance (ACTRA), a regional information sharing and analysis organization that includes companies in 14 of the critical infrastructure sectors, including aviation. His areas of research interest include the security issues associated with connected cyber-physical systems that encompass airplanes, cars, industrial controls and more. This Internet of Things (IoT) is likely to open an even larger portion of societies systems to cyber based attacks requiring us to educate our students, developers and leaders to the importance of this relatively new domain using machine learning and AI methods.
Since 2017, he has promoted the concept of The Center for the Future , an incubation, innovation and acceleration space for companies that would collaborate with the students and faculty of the campus, creating high quality jobs in the greater Prescott region. With former Chancellor Frank Ayers this was successfully presented in March 2019 to the Prescott City Council, in August 2020 the Council approved allocating funds to seed the concept. In partnership with fiscal sponsor Prescott Chamber Foundation and numerous other organizations Prescott Regional Opportunity Foundation and its Center project has operations in downtown Prescott, celebrating it\u27s two year anniversary this past July 2023.https://commons.erau.edu/avcysecworkshop-bios-2024/1018/thumbnail.jp
