Publications

ASR&D publications include patents, articles published in technical journals, conference proceedings/presentations, NASA reports, technical information and application notes, and news releases. Downloadable versions of several of the company's NASA reports can be found at NASA Reports.

Technical information and application notes for each type of sensor can be found under the appropriate category of the "Research" tab of this site. News releases can be found in Recent News or News Archives based on the date and content. Other ASR&D publications, and publications of our R&D collaborators that were produced under programs funded by ASR&D can be found below.
