The Brainstorm,
Groundbreaking and Game-changing (BIG) Design object is an initiative activity
NASA's Fearless Changing Processing Schedule (GCD) efforts to speedily abloom
innovative/high effect capabilities and technologies for solution in a tolerant
clothing of later NASA missions. This year's GCD-sponsored technology plan
competition seeks innovative ideas from the pedagogue dominion for in-space
assembly of satellite - particularly tugs, propelled by solar car effort (SEP),
that soul payloads for low connecter circulate (LEO) to a lunar deep rehash
circle (LDRO). Reuse of the SEP tug provides a cost-efficient method of
transferring payloads between LEO-to-LDRO, LDRO-to-LEO, and for facility to
deep-space locations such as Mars.
