Summary

Description

<p> The small size and low weight of these battery-free<br /> SAW tags enable long-range, long duration remote temperature sensing instruments as well as a relative navigation waypoint network. This project can eventually provide a unique scientific instrument to be flown on multiple robotic probes. Additional exploration technologies will be identified and assessed for their applicability for future surface, small body and planetary exploration (e.g. Naval Research Lab miniature microbial fuel cell, modulating retrroeflector, X-band switchable radio/radar).<br />  </p>
