  • integrated atmosphere resource recovery and environmental monitoring technology demonstration for Deep Space Exploration
    42nd International Conference on Environmental Systems, 2012
    Co-Authors: Jay L Perry, Morgan B Abney, James C Knox, Keith J Parrish, Monserrate C Roman, Darrell Jan
    Abstract:

    Exploring the frontiers of Deep Space presents numerous technological challenges associated with safely transporting a crew to and from destinations of scientific interest. Living and working on that frontier requires a highly robust life support system based on proven process technologies. The International Space Station (ISS), including its environmental control and life support (ECLS) system, is the platform from which humanity’s Deep Space Exploration missions begin. The atmosphere revitalization (AR) subsystem within the ECLS system and the environmental monitoring (EM) technical architecture aboard the ISS are evaluated as the starting basis for a developmental effort being conducted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) via the Advanced Exploration Systems (AES) Atmosphere Resource Recovery and Environmental Monitoring (ARREM) Project. An evolutionary approach is used by the ARREM project to address the strengths and weaknesses of the ISS AR subsystem and EM equipment, core process technologies, and operational approaches to reduce developmental risk, improve functional reliability, and lower lifecycle costs of an architecture suitable for use for crewed Deep Space Exploration missions. An ISS-derived subsystem design architecture that incorporates core process technology upgrades or replacements will be matured through a series of integrated tests and architectural trade studies that encompass Deep Space Exploration mission requirements and constraints.

    Abstract:

    Exploring the frontiers of Deep Space continues to be defined by the technological challenges presented by safely transporting a crew to and from destinations of scientific interest. Living and working on that frontier requires highly reliable and efficient life support systems that employ robust, proven process technologies. The International Space Station (ISS), including its environmental control and life support (ECLS) system, is the platform from which humanity's Deep Space Exploration missions begin. The ISS ECLS system Atmosphere Revitalization (AR) subsystem and environmental monitoring (EM) technical architecture aboard the ISS is evaluated as the starting basis for a developmental effort being conducted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) via the Advanced Exploration Systems (AES) Atmosphere Resource Recovery and Environmental Monitoring (ARREM) Project.. An evolutionary approach is employed by the ARREM project to address the strengths and weaknesses of the ISS AR subsystem and EM equipment, core technologies, and operational approaches to reduce developmental risk, improve functional reliability, and lower lifecycle costs of an ISS-derived subsystem architecture suitable for use for crewed Deep Space Exploration missions. The most promising technical approaches to an ISS-derived subsystem design architecture that incorporates promising core process technology upgrades will be matured through a series of integrated tests and architectural trade studies encompassing expected Exploration mission requirements and constraints.

  • participatory design of the virtual camera for Deep Space Exploration
    International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, 2014
    Co-Authors: Donald Platt
    Abstract:

    In this paper, a new Virtual Camera (VC) system is described that has been developed to assist astronauts in Deep Space Exploration. Participatory design, involving users and stakeholders in all aspects of the design was used to make a system that provides a mediation environment. This environment, implemented on a tablet computer system, allows explorers in the field to share data and knowledge with those in remote command and control centers. There are other applications for this system design such as disaster response, law enforcement and aviation cockpits.

  • design and evaluation of an Exploration assistant for human Deep Space risk mitigation
    Analysis Design and Evaluation of Human-Machine Systems, 2013
    Co-Authors: Donald Platt, Patrick Millot
    Abstract:

    This paper describes the development of a Virtual Camera (VC) system to improve astronaut and mission operations situation awareness while exploring other planetary bodies. It is claimed that the advanced interaction media capability of the VC can improve situation awareness as the distribution of human Space Exploration roles change in Deep Space Exploration. It can minimize the risk of astronauts exploring unknown reaches of the solar system with limited previous knowledge of the area under Exploration. It can be thought of as a tour guide with captured expertise to aid Exploration. It provides a collaborative tool so that ground-based expert knowledge can be captured and be easily assessable in the remote Deep Space environment. A tablet PC-based interactive database application has been developed and tested for usability and capability to improve situation awareness. The method of testing will be described as well as testing results.

  • immune system dysregulation during Spaceflight potential countermeasures for Deep Space Exploration missions
    Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
    Co-Authors: Brian E Crucian, Alexander Chouker, Richard J Simpson, Satish K Mehta, Gailen D Marshall, Scott M Smith, Sara R Zwart, Martina Heer, S A Ponomarev, Alexandra Whitmire
    Abstract:

    Recent studies have established that dysregulation of the human immune system and the reactivation of latent herpesviruses persists for the duration of a 6-month orbital Spaceflight. It appears certain aspects of adaptive immunity are dysregulated during flight, yet some aspects of innate immunity are heightened. Interaction between adaptive and innate immunity also seems to be altered. Some crews experience persistent hypersensitivity reactions during flight. This phenomenon may, in synergy with extended duration and galactic radiation exposure, increase specific crew clinical risks during Deep Space Exploration missions. The clinical challenge is based upon both the frequency of these phenomena in multiple crewmembers during low earth orbit (LEO) missions and the inability to predict which specific individual crew members will experience these changes. Thus a general countermeasure approach that offers the broadest possible coverage is needed. The vehicles, architecture and mission profiles to enable such voyages are now under development. These include deployment and use of a cis-Lunar station (mid 2020s) with possible Moon surface operations, to be followed by multiple Mars flyby missions, and eventual human Mars surface Exploration. Current ISS studies will continue to characterize physiological dysregulation associated with prolonged orbital Spaceflight. However, sufficient information exists to begin consideration of both the need for, and nature of, specific immune countermeasures to ensure astronaut health. This article will review relevant in-place operational countermeasures onboard ISS and discuss a myriad of potential immune countermeasures for Exploration missions. Discussion points include nutritional supplementation and functional foods, exercise and immunity, pharmacological options, the relationship between bone and immune countermeasures, and vaccination to mitigate herpes (and possibly other) virus risks. As the immune system has sentinel connectivity within every other physiological system, translational effects must be considered for all potential immune countermeasures. Finally, we shall discuss immune countermeasures in the context of their individualized implementation or precision medicine, based on crewmember specific immunological biases.
