In 2004, we r
an our first curated virtual space mission for Georgia Tech’s graduate-level ECE 6390, Satellite Communications. The project was entitled “Deep-Penetrating Neptune Probes” and involved a hypothetical planetary NASA mission to the gas giant Neptune to study the atmospheric composition of the gas giant. Originally suggested by Prof. Steffes (like many of the curated virtual space missions that followed), the project page archive can be found here.

What to Passivize?
Here is a fun exercise. How many automobile sensors, indicators, and other distributed functions could you conduct with an RFID-like passive, wireless interface? Below a few suggestions to get you thinking.
PURA Travel-Grant Winners, Hiba and Evan
Hiba Murali and Evan Shi have won Presidential Undergraduate Research Award (PURA) travel grants from Georgia Tech to present their RF energy-harvesting work at the IEEE International Conference on RFID 2018 in Orlando, FL next month. These student researchers have been studying transparent rectenna technology for harvesting microwave power beamed from space. The work could enable low-cost collections stations for space solar power, delivering green energy to the grid while allowing multiple uses for the collection site. Congratulations, Evan and Hiba!
Henderson’s TWDP Measurements
Measurement of Small-Scale Fading Distributions in a Realistic 2.4 GHz Channel
Alexander Henderson, G.D. Durgin, PG-TR-070815-AHH August 2007
This undergraduate technical report was one of the first attempts to measure and characterize TWDP fading. Sophisticated work for just a summer undergraduate project, Xan (now physicist Dr. Henderson) managed to measure and characterize some complicated signal strength distributions in the back RF lab of the Prop Group.
