Honeywell contributes to several of NASA's human space programs including Orion, Artemis, and Mars missions. Specifically, Honeywell develops navigation tools which are commonly used in inertial measurement units. For example, these tools performed very well during a recent 26-day mission in the Artemis program involving a low earth orbit of an unmanned test space vehicle. This talk will present an overview of the inertial measurement units and discuss some of physics, engineering, and analyses needed for further improvements. Some of the discussion involves analysis of sensor noise signatures and dynamic calibrations using Kaman filtering. Next generation sensors may include Gaussian-Markov models and estimates of quantum and general relativistic effects.
In addition to the colloquium, there will be a Career Advising Event on Friday, April 7 between 11 AM and 12:45 PM in Olin 105 (with lunch). Dr. Zeng will discuss and answer questions about employment and internship opportunities at Honeywell International
**Refreshments will be served in the Olin Lobby beginning at 3:30pm
