Seminar in Astronautical Engineering
Wed, Oct 05, 2011 @ 12:00 PM - 01:30 PM
Astronautical Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Dr. C.C. "George" Chao, Retired Senior Engineer Specialist/Technical Manager, JPL; Consultant, Aerospace Corporation; Part-Time Lecturer
Talk Title: Stationkeeping Strategies for a Single GEO Satellite & Strategies for Collocating Multiple Geostationary Satellites
Abstract: Topic 1: Stationkeeping Strategies for a Single GEO Satellite
The dynamics and perturbations of a geostationary orbit will be introduced. The longitude (East/West) and inclination (North/South) stationkeeping strategies will be discussed. The Sun-pointing strategy and its relation to solar radiation pressure effect on eccentricity will be understood.
Topic 2: Strategies for Collocating Multiple Geostationary Satellites
The ITU (International Telecommunication Union) policies and the need for GEO collocation will be discussed. Some basic strategies for collocating 2 to 3 GEO satellites will be introduced. The concept of eccentricity and inclination vector separation will be understood with examples. The final portion of the talk will be devoted to the formation and control of a cluster of many GEO satellites in a special geometry called the âHaloâ formation. The advanced method of formation-keeping using onboard GPS measurements and GEO satellite disposal policies will be discussed.
Host: Department of Astronautical Engineering

Aerospace & Mechanical Engineering Department Seminar
Wed, Oct 05, 2011 @ 03:30 PM - 04:30 PM
Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Dr. Alfredo Caro, Los Alamos National Lab
Talk Title: Engineering Interfaces as a Strategy Towards New Materials for Extreme Irradiation Environments
Abstract: The LANL's Center for Materials under Extreme Mechanical and Irradiation Extremes, one of the DOE's Energy Frontier Research Center, is focused on the study of interfaces and their response to extreme conditions. This talk will cover two aspects of this research: i- radiation resistance of nanoscale foams and ii- radiation resistance of twist boundaries in fcc and bcc metals. Using computational tools and experimental measurements we we explore the behavior of these two systems to unveil details on the evolution of radiation created defects as affected by nanoscale structural features.
Host: Prof. A. Hodge

Cypress Semiconductor PSoC Workshop
Wed, Oct 05, 2011 @ 07:00 PM - 08:30 PM
Viterbi School of Engineering Student Organizations
Student Activity
When: Wednesday, October 5, at 7:00pm
Where: Sal 101
What: An IEEE-sponsored project workshop with Cypress Semiconductor
Interested in getting some hands on experience with a real-world engineering device? Want to network with the corporate world while doing so? Well, look no further! IEEE will be hosting Cypress Semiconductor on the eve of the Fall Viterbi Career Fair for a workshop with their Programmable System-On-Chip or PSoC product.
Full time engineers from Cypress and interns from USC will be attending the event. They are very excited to share their experiences with you in order to give you a hands-on view of engineering as well as network with you.
There will be a workshop and short presentation combined with a question and answer session, and of course, FREE FOOD will be provided. Feel free to invite your friends from other majors. Come and mingle and remember to bring an appetite for learning and your resume!Location: SAL 101
