Abstract:
A Human Factors Engineering (HFE) pilot project was undertaken by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on the Space Station Processing Facility (SSPF) at the Kennedy Space Center, Florida in 1991. It is to demonstrate the use of Human Factors in supporting the role of NASA Safety in achieving their objective of reducing the causes of accidents by helping to eliminate error producing situations. The initial phase of this endeavor consisted of a review of the design drawings for the SSPF, identifying all human factors concerns with special emphases on those which affected personnel safety, operational efficiency and hazards which might produce damage to expensive payloads. Where drawings did not completely disclose the characteristics of the intended operations, other facilities at the Kennedy Space Center were visited to obtain “Lessons Learned” insights that could be applied to the drawing critique. As Human Factors concerns and/or Safety issues were identified, they were discussed with the appropriate engineering personnel to effect a workable solution. During the lecture presentation, examples of identified HF & Safety deficiencies will be presented by the use of drawings, photographs in viewgraph form and a video of an accident to the Magellan Spacecraft. Discussion of the findings of the Magellan Spacecraft Mishap Review Board will elaborate on their conclusion that the lack of Human Factors Engineering was a major Contributor to this incident. A video segment showing an advanced and innovative Human Factors (HF) modeling technique will graphically demonstrate the potential application of conducting Human Engineering (HE) evaluations in conjunction with Engineering Prototyping in a Computer Aided Design (CAD) environment.

Abstract:
The prospect of manned space missions outside Earth's orbit is limited by the travel time and shielding against cosmic radiation. The chemical rockets currently used in the space program have no hope of propelling a manned vehicle to a far away location such as Mars due to the enormous mass of fuel that would be required. The specific energy available from nuclear fuel is a factor of 106 higher than chemical fuel; it is therefore obvious that nuclear power production in space is a must. On the other hand, recent considerations to send a man to the Moon for a long stay would require a stable, secured and safe source of energy (there is hardly anything beyond nuclear power that would provide a useful and reliably safe sustainable supply of energy). National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) anticipates that the mass of a shielding material required for long travel to Mars is the next major design driver. In 2006 NASA identified a need to assess and evaluate potential gaps in existing knowledge and understanding of the level and types of radiation critical to astronauts' health during the long travel to Mars and to start a comprehensive study related to the shielding design of a spacecraft finding the conditions for the mitigation of radiation components contributing to the doses beyond accepted limits. In order to reduce the overall space craft mass, NASA is looking for the novel, multi-purpose and multi-functional materials that will provide effective shielding of the crew and electronics on board. The Laboratory for Neutronics and Geometry Computation in the School of Nuclear Engineering at Purdue University led by Prof. Tatjana Jevremovic began in 2004 the analytical evaluations of different lightweight materials. The preliminary results of the design survey study are presented in this paper.

Abstract:
A smart helmet-based wearable personnel proximity warning system was developed to prevent collisions between equipment and pedestrians in mines. The smart helmet worn by pedestrians receives signals transmitted by Bluetooth beacons attached to heavy equipment, light vehicles, or dangerous zones, and provides visual LED warnings to the pedestrians and operators simultaneously. A performance test of the proposed system was conducted in an underground limestone mine. It was confirmed that as the transmission power of the Bluetooth beacon increased, the Bluetooth low energy (BLE) signal detection distance of the system also increased. The average BLE signal detection distance was at least 10 m, regardless of the facing angle between the smart helmet and Bluetooth beacon. The subjective workload for the smartphone-, smart glasses-, and smart helmet-based proximity warning system (PWS) was evaluated using the National Aeronautics and Space Administration task load index. All six workload parameters were the lowest when using the smart helmet-based PWS. The smart helmet-based PWS can provide visual proximity warning alerts to both the equipment operator and the pedestrian, and it can be expanded to provide worker health monitoring and hazard awareness functions by adding sensors to the Arduino board.

Abstract:
Abstract This study analyzed the global and seasonal characteristics of cloud phase and ice crystal orientation (CTYPE-lidar) by using the Cloud–Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) on board the Cloud–Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO). A dataset from September 2006 to August 2007 was used to derive the seasonal characteristics. The discrimination scheme was originally developed by Yoshida et al., who classified clouds mainly into warm water, supercooled water, and randomly oriented ice crystals or horizontally oriented ice plates. This study used the following products for the comparison with CTYPE-lidar: (i) the vertical feature mask (VFM) of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), (ii) the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), and (iii) European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). Overall, the results showed that the CTYPE-lidar discrimination scheme was consistent with the outputs from VFM, MODIS, and ECMWF. The zonal mean water cloud cover in daytime from this study showed good agreement with that derived from MODIS; the slope of the linear regression was 1.06 and the offset was 0.002. The CTYPE-lidar ice cloud occurrence frequency and the ECMWF ice supersaturation occurrence frequency were also in good agreement; the slope of the linear regression of the two products was 1.02 in the temperature range −60°C ≤ T ≤ −30°C. The maximum occurrence frequencies in this study and ECMWF were recognized around −60°C of the equator, with their peak shifted from several degrees north (~9°N) in September–November (SON) to south (~9°S) in December–February (DJF) and back to north (~7°N) in March–May (MAM) and June–August (JJA).

Abstract:
The paper deals with the conceptual design and sizing of a cabin escape system to be applied to a trans-atmospheric transportation system. At first, the role of suborbital vehicles towards the development of a hypersonic transportation system is presented. From this analysis, it has been clear that one of the key points in enhancing the public consensus is to demonstrate a higher level of safety and reliability with respect to the current space vehicles. Since the time of the Space Shuttle enterprise, the development of a proper escape system has been considered crucial to diminish the risk of loss of lives per mission, moving from space-like reliability characteristics to values closer to the aeronautical case. In particular, this paper presents the conceptual design of an escape system for a single stage vehicle aimed at parabolic flights. The proposed design methodology starts with the identification of the major requirements that will lead the design and sizing activities. Then, special attention is devoted to the identification of the required capabilities of a Cabin Escape System and to the selection of the proper subsystems able to guarantee these functionalities. Indeed, considering the high-level of complexity of such a system, during the design process, specific attention should be paid to the impact of on-board systems integration on the overall transportation system architecture and layout. At this purpose, a proper utilization of CAD models can ease the integration process allowing fast verification of mass and volume budgets as well as integrated simulation techniques could be useful. Furthermore, the possibility of exploiting this system during the different phases of the mission should be properly evaluated and, eventually, a preliminary impact risk analysis is reported.

Abstract:
This paper describes the development of long-life cooling systems for use in spacecraft. The original single-stage coolers were developed by the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) and Oxford University for the Improved Stratospheric and Mesospheric Sounder (ISAMS), an Oxford University instrument that will be part of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (US) (NASA's) Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite. Since then RAL has continued development of these coolers to produce lower temperatures and the technology has been transferred to industry via the British Technology Group (BTG). This has been possible by the award of contracts from the European Space Agency (ESA) and internal funding. The coolers are now available from industry and have been baselined for a variety of future instruments both in Europe and the United States.

Communications satellite operators maintain archives of component telemetry to monitor system function. Operators generally do not typically use the telemetry data for scientific analysis of the space radiation environment effects on component anomalies or performance. We partnered with four geostationary (GEO) operators, acquired >1 million hours of telemetry, and combined these data with space weather observations to investigate relationships between space weather and hardware performance. We focused on the effects of space weather on two component types: solar cells and high power amplifiers. For solar cells, by augmenting >20 years of GEO telemetry with separate GEO space weather measurements, we calculated both on-orbit degradation of Si and GaAs solar cells in an annual average sense, and also quantified the degradation of cells during severe solar proton events (SPEs) of 10 MeV protons > 10,000 pfu. A functional relationship between the amount of degradation and proton fluence is also considered. We used the calculated degradation to evaluate several combinations of space weather environment models with solar cell degradation models and found that predicted performance is within 1% of the observed degradation. These models had not previously been validated using multiple on-orbit GEO datasets. We did not find a model pairing that consistently outperformed the others over all of the datasets. For high power amplifiers, through the use of statistical analysis, simulations, and electron beam experiments we conducted a root-cause analysis of solid state power amplifier (SSPA) anomalies on-board eight GEO satellites. From the statistical analysis, we identified that the occurrence of anomalies was not random with respect to the space weather environment, but that there appeared to be a relationship to high-energy electron fluence for periods of time between 10 - 21 days before the anomalies. From the simulations and electron beam lab tests, we demonstrated that internal charging occurs in the amplifier chain, potentially identifying a cause for the observed anomalies. We substantiated an approach toward understanding space weather effects on space components by obtaining and using long-duration archives of standard commercial telemetry for scientific analysis. The analysis of large telemetry data sets of similar components over long periods of time improves our ability to assess the role of different types of space weather events in causing anomalies and helps to validate models. The findings in this work that relate deep dielectric charging to component anomalies and solar proton events to solar cell degradation make use of only a small fraction of the potentially available commercial geostationary satellite telemetry. Expansion of this work would provide additional insights on the role of space weather to the science community and to the satellite design and operator community.

Future space structures such as solar power stations and telescopes are expected to be very large. These structures will require on-orbit construction. Due to the risks and costs of human extravehicular work, teams of robots will be essential for the on-orbit assembly of the large space structures. There are a number of technical challenges presented by such robotic construction. The structures will need to be made of lightweight materials and will be very flexible. Autonomous robots will require information about the vibrations of the flexible structures and their dynamic parameters in order to perform the construction efficiently. Often models of the structures are imperfect, therefore the magnitude of the vibrations of the structure must be estimated on-orbit. This thesis presents a method for estimating the shape and dynamic parameters of a vibrating large space structure. This technique is a cooperative sensing approach using remote free-flying robot observers equipped with vision sensors and structure-mounted accelerometers. This approach exploits the complementary nature of the two types of sensors.
(cont.) Vision sensors are able to measure structure deflections at a high spatial frequency but are bandwidth limited. Accelerometers are able to make measurements at high temporal frequency, but are sparsely located on the structure. The fused estimation occurs in three steps. First, the vision data is condensed in a modal decomposition that results in coarse estimates of modal coefficients. In the second step, the coarse estimates of the modal coefficients obtained from vision data are fused with the accelerometer measurements in a multi-rate nonlinear Kalman filter, resulting in a refined estimate of the modal coefficients and dynamic properties of the structure. In the final step, the estimated modal coefficients are combined with the mode shapes to provide a shape estimate of the entire structure. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the performance of this fused estimation approach is superior to the performance achieved when using only a single type of sensor.

Novel methods for assessing space suit designs and human performance capabilities are needed as NASA prepares for manned missions beyond low Earth orbit. Current human performance tests and training are conducted in space suits that are heavy and expensive, characteristics that constrain possible testing environments and reduce suit availability to researchers. Space suit mock-ups used in planetary exploration simulations are light and relatively inexpensive but do not accurately simulate the joint stiffness inherent to space suits, a key factor impacting extravehicular activity performance. The MIT Man-Vehicle Laboratory and Aurora Flight Sciences designed and built an actively controlled exoskeleton for space suit simulation called the Extravehicular Activity Space Suit Simulator (EVA S3), which can be programmed to simulate the joint torques recorded from various space suits. The goal of this research is to create a simulator that is lighter and cheaper than a traditional space suit so that it can be used in a variety of testing and training environments. The EVA S3 employs pneumatic actuators to vary joint stiffness and a pre-programmed controller to allow the experimenter to apply torque profiles to mimic various space suit designs in the field. The focus of this thesis is the design, construction, integration, and testing of the hip joint and backpack for the EVA S3. The final designs of the other joints are also described. Results from robotic testing to validate the mechanical design and control system are discussed along with the planned improvements for the next iteration of the EVA S3. The fianl EVA S3 consists of a metal and composite exoskeleton frame with pneumatic actuators that control the resistance of motion in the ankle, knee, and hip joints, and an upper body brace that resists shoulder and elbow motions with passive spring elements. The EVA S3 is lighter (26 kg excluding the tethered components) and less expensive (under $600,000 including research, design, and personnel) than a modem space suit. Design adjustments and control system improvements are still needed to achieve a desired space suit torque simulation fidelity within 10% root-mean-square error.

This thesis addresses two challenges associated with advanced space and planetary exploration: characterizing and improving the mobility of current and future gas pressurized space suits; and developing effective domestic Planetary Protection policies for the emerging private space industry. Gas-pressurized space suits are known to be highly resistive to astronaut movement. As NASA seeks to return to planetary exploration, there is a critical need to improve full body space suit mobility for planetary exploration. Volume effects (the torque required to displace gas due to internal volume change during movement) and structural effects (the additional torque required to bend the suit materials in their pressurized state) are cited as the primary contributors to suit rigidity. Constant volume soft joints have become the design goal of space suit engineers, and simple joints like the elbow are believed to have nearly achieved such performance. However, more complex joints like the shoulder and waist have not yet achieved comparable optimization. As a result, it is hypothesized that joints like the shoulder and waist introduce a third, and not well studied, contributor to space suit rigidity: pressure effects (the additional work required to compress gas in the closed operating volume of the suit during movement). This thesis quantifies the individual contributors to space suit rigidity through modeling and experimentation. An Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) space suit arm was mounted in a -30kPa hypobaric chamber, and both volume and torque measurements were taken versus elbow angle. The arm was tested with both open and closed operating volumes to determine the contribution of pressure effects to total elbow rigidity. These tests were then repeated using a full EMU volume to determine the actual impact of elbow pressure effects on rigidity when connected to the full suit. In both cases, structural and volume effects were found to be primary contributors to elbow joint rigidity, with structural effects dominating at low flexion angles and volume effects dominating at high flexion angles; pressure effects were detected in the tests that used only the volume of the arm, but were found to be a secondary contributor to total rigidity (on average < 5%). These pressure effects were not detected in the tests that used the volume representative of a full EMU. Unexpected structural effects behavior was also measured at high (> 75°) flexion angles, suggesting that the underlying mechanisms of these effects are not yet fully understood, and that current models predicting structural effects behavior do not fully represent the actual mechanisms at work. The detection of pressure effects in the well-optimized elbow joint, even if only in a limited volume, suggests that these effects may prove significant for sub-optimized, larger, multi-axis space suit joints. A novel, fast-acting pressure control system, developed in response to these findings, was found to be capable of mitigating pressure spikes due to volume change (and thus, pressure effects). Implementation of a similar system in future space suit designs could lead to improvements in overall suit mobility. A second study, which focused on the implications of the development of the US private space industry on domestic Planetary Protection policy, is also presented. As signatories of the 1967 Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space (commonly known as the Outer Space Treaty), the United States is responsible for implementing Planetary Protection procedures designed to prevent biological contamination of the Solar System, as well as contamination of the Earth by any samples returned from extra-terrestrial bodies. NASA has established policies and procedures to comply with this treaty, and has successfully policed itself independently and autonomously since the signing of the treaty. However, for the first time in the history of the American space program, private entities outside of NASA have developed the capability and interest to send objects into space and beyond Earth orbit, and no current protocol exists to guarantee these profit-minded entities comply with US Planetary Protection obligations (a costly and time-consuming process). This thesis presents a review of US Planetary Protection obligations, including NASA's procedures and infrastructure related to Planetary Protection, and based on these current protocols provides policy architecture recommendations for the emerging commercial spaceflight industry. It was determined that the most effective policy architecture for ensuring public and private compliance with Planetary Protection places NASA in control of all domestic Planetary Protection matters, and in this role NASA is charged with overseeing, supporting, and regulating the private spaceflight industry. The underlying analysis and architecture tradeoffs that led to this recommendation are presented and discussed.

The Earth Science and Applications decadal survey released by the National Research Council in 2007 presents both an ambitious engineering challenge and a challenge for the entire Earth science community to come together to reach a consensus on priorities that cross conventional disciplinary boundaries. The vision established by the decadal survey requires a paradigm shift for Earth system science: Societal benefits must be considered equally with purely scientific benefits to guide the development of the future NASA and NOAA Earth Observations Program. The decadal survey focused heavily on the needs and objectives of the Earth science community, while providing much less thorough treatment of the other relevant stakeholders. To address this, I conducted a stakeholder value network analysis for the Earth Observations Program that includes the development of a comprehensive qualitative and quantitative stakeholder model. The qualitative model includes a rigorous articulation of the needs and objectives of 13 major stakeholders; the development of a three-level stakeholder map including a baseline map, higher-level map, and lower-level map; and a complete stakeholder value network model with 190 individual value flows that capture the interactions between all the stakeholders. The quantitative model includes a method for assigning numeric scores to each value flow; the calculation of 1880 unique and valid "value loops" within the stakeholder value network; and an analysis of the value loops that yields useful insights about the Earth Observations Program. The value loop analysis reveals the most important stakeholders, value flows, and value loops within the stakeholder value network; as well as the most important outputs from and inputs to NASA and NOAA. The analysis also reveals the relative important of each of the six science categories representing the six science-themed panels of the decadal survey. The results from the stakeholder value network analysis provide insights regarding the value produced by the Earth Observations Program, as well as the value-added roles of each stakeholder within the network. The most important value loops and Program outputs are used to derive a set of high-level program goals, including goals that suggest what NASA and NOAA should do, as well as how they should conduct business. Finally, the insights and results from the analysis provide the foundation for a set of recommendations for the Earth Observations Program, which complement the recommendations put forth in the decadal survey.

Abstract:
Electrical and electronic systems on board air vehicles are susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI). This has made the topic of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), a major concern for aircraft safety. The use of composite materials worsens this situation, for their poor shielding and low conductive capabilities. Some of the main experimental E3 certification scenarios used in aeronautics are revisited in this chapter. Guidelines to achieve simple, yet accurate, numerical models of them are provided, with appropriate tradeoffs between computational simplicity and accuracy. The numerical method, endowed with extended capabilities, has been chosen for this task for its ability and efficiency to deal with complex problems of arbitrary materials. The feature selective validation (FSV) IEEE standard procedure, commonly used to quantify the comparison of data in electromagnetic problems, is also revisited. The simulation of three different air vehicles in several certification scenarios is finally described and the numerical results compared to experimental data.

Abstract:
Our nearest shining star, the Sun, source of radiations and energy, sometimes generates severe events and phenomena in space which can affect our technology and biosphere. On the other hand, space weather, as defined by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), is conditions on the Sun and in the solar wind, magnetosphere, ionosphere, and thermosphere that can influence the performance and reliability of space-borne and ground-based technological systems and can endanger human life or health. A brief description of the Sun-Earth connection is firstly presented. Secondly, a particular attention is given to highlight the Sun's variability and the link between the space weather and climate change by means of some recent studies.

Abstract:
Electromagnetic compatibility has emerged in the last decades as one of the most important aspects of product design. Space equipment, in particular, due to their increased sensitivity requirements and a greater risk of failure, are required to comply with a variety of EMC requirements. The scope of this chapter is to provide a detailed overview of these requirements according to the two main standards applicable, MIL-STD461G and ECSS-E-ST-20-07C, describing the proposed methodologies, the associated testing instrumentation, and the tailoring capabilities. The limitations of these methodologies and relative research, aiming to validate or improve them, are also presented highlighting potential deficiencies. This chapter aims to serve as a compact guide to EMC testing of space equipment according to the requirements of two of the most active organizations of space engineering.

Abstract:
The NASATalk online collaborative (www.nasatalk.com) gives educators a virtual place to talk about the many opportunities available from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). NASATalk participants include K-16 educators, NASA-affiliated educators’ support staff, and others interested in advancing STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education. This chapter examines the self-discovery learning opportunities afforded by NASATalk for a three-day professional development workshop from the perspectives of the NASATalk team members, two NASA Aerospace Education Services Project specialists, and the workshop participants. For the conference, NASATalk hosted a public collaborative named the NASA STEM Educators Workshop as well as several blogs. The analysis discusses how various needs are met for orientation and entry, learner decision making, individuated learning, intercommunications and collaboration, and original discovery in the NASATalk content collaborative. A professional virtual community emerges where educators gathered onsite to receive instruction, but they turned to NASATalk to share their ideas and experiences by posting articles, blogs, comments, multimedia, links, and other educational resources.

Abstract:
Several governmental entities: the Secretary of Transportation; the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, and Commerce; the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA); National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA); and industry, aligned their resources to develop the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen), a new approach to safety at airports in the United States (U.S.). NextGen places the responsibility for safety within airport management and changing the FAA's role from testing, inspecting, and certifying to approval and periodic audits of the Safety Management Systems (SMS) programs at U.S. airports. The purpose of the research was to determine, through a comprehensive literature review and evaluation, whether SMS will be used as the framework for U.S. airports to move safely into the year 2025. The researcher concluded that the vision for SMS implementation was well defined and the requirements fairly clear, but guidance and support for SMS implementation at U.S. airports are lacking.

Abstract:
In 1998, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) launched the Mars Climate Orbiter (MCO) as part of the Mars Surveyor ’98 program. Upon arrival at Mars, MCO was to enter an elliptical orbit around the planet. On the day of orbit insertion, ground control was able to track the spacecraft visually up to the point when it vanished behind the planet. Unfortunately, the spacecraft never reappeared on the other side. It was later discovered that the probe came too close to the planet, and crashed into the Martian surface. The cause? A previously undiscovered mismatch in the use of unit systems for performing certain calculations in parts of the ground station software [43].

Abstract:
Cities evolve to just possible, always uncertain urban futures, achieving complexity so this complexity becomes itself the best tool to face uncertainty. The main operation in urban systems evolution is difference, the establishment of traces indicating differences, differences themselves consisting of increasingly more complex systems of rules, like a game board. Differences operate both in space and time, conforming to a cultural landscape, a cityscape. It is in this context where the authors present the concept of sensitive bodies. Urban spaces highly internalise processes due to a collective memory of past events, whose complexity can be read through both a hermeneutical approach to form and a sensitive approach to topology, the underlying system of rules that can be read just by playing the game, using techniques borrowed out of performing arts, making bodies interact with living bodies whose behaviour is just the main component of the cityscape.

Abstract:
Space power applications historically include fuel cells due to the high energy storage density of hydrogen and oxygen compared to batteries. Fuel cells are continuously under development to incorporate latest technology and focus on specific details of fuel cells systems relevant to harsh space transportation environments. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is developing proton exchange membrane fuel cells systems for space power applications because of the potential for longer life, reduction in cost, and increase in safety compared to current alkaline fuel cell technology. Space fuel cell applications utilize oxygen instead of air, which introduces better performance but greater hazards. Circulation of reactants is beneficial for these systems to aid in removal of product water from the fuel cell stack and to humidify reactant fluid streams. Current space fuel cell prototype systems use a simple but effective pump for reactant recirculation known as a gas ejector. A gas ejector uses a high-pressure primary gas supply to produce suction to a secondary fluid at a lower pressure. A gas and water separator is then necessary to remove the fuel cell product water from the unutilized recirculated oxygen. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is analyzing and testing several different means to separate the oxygen gas and water in both microgravity and increased gravity conditions. This paper addresses specific components and design concerns for proton exchange membrane fuel cell systems for space power applications.

Abstract:
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has developed a set of Agency-level requirements which cover the risk areas associated with the safety, reliability, maintainability and quality assurance disciplines. This set of requirements applies to NASA activities ranging from space exploration to aeronautics research to product quality to the protection of the NASA family. With the establishment of NASA’s new human exploration programs, NASA realized that it needed to develop a methodology for sorting through the wide variety of knowledge captured in the Agency requirements and identify how those requirements are applicable to each emerging program. This paper will highlight the process used by NASA to filter the thousands of requirements into a concise set which would reduce overall programmatic risk without overburdening the program.
