Anzio

The Anzio program aims to develop innovative aero-assist technologies for spacecraft, which will enable large, rapid, and precise orbit transfers while significantly reducing propellant requirements. In support of this goal, technology areas of interest to DARPA for execution of this program include thermal protection systems, control systems and algorithms, atmospheric sensing, and lightweight aeroshells. Technology areas that are not of interest include communications, power management, spacecraft buses, payloads, propulsion systems, and existing orbital transfer vehicles.
