Purpose
This home page is for the
Small Near Earth Object
Observing System (SNOOS). This project was
completed in the Spring 2009 semester for the Systems Engineering and
Operations Research (SEOR) Department capstone course at George Mason
University. This web page will provide the objective of the project,
supporting information, and deliverables for an architecture recommendation
of SNOOS.
Objective
The objective of this
project effort is to apply the tools and methods garnered through the SEOR
Master of Science program to analyze and architect a sub-portion of the
Planetary Defense Mission in the attempt to detect small Near-Earth Objects.
