Challenge - Design By Nature

https://2018.spaceappschallenge.org/challenges/can-you-build/design-based-nature-fusion/details

Design an autonomous free-flyer to inspect a spacecraft for damage from Micro-Meteoroid and Orbital Debris (MMOD).

Primary Goals

Develop an intelligent agent or group of agents inspired by nature that can detect Micro-Meteoroid Orbital Debris (MMOD) damage on spacecraft.

Objective for Agent(s)

Survey External Space Damage

Inspirations from Nature:

Swarm Intelligence
Skin Detection (Advanced polymers for surface hulls)
Visual & Non-visual Sensing Characteristics (Optical/IR/SAR)
