The Carnegie Mellon University project will develop strategies to mitigate harmful interference between non-geosynchronous satellite constellations operating in shared spectrum. Funded by a $749,925 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences, the three-year award will investigate technical mechanisms, coordination agreements, and public policies to facilitate deployment of these systems and improve spectrum sharing effectiveness. The project aligns with the NSF Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to advance scientific knowledge and address major problems through increased understanding of the mathematical and physical sciences. Using a custom global simulator, the researchers will evaluate interference mitigation methods and arrangements for various constellation designs, providing insight to help guide spectrum policy and coordination among operators. The funding will also support research opportunities and curriculum development focused on underrepresented groups in STEM fields.
