Abstract:
As the nation’s premiere ocean science agency, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has a variety of programs that require research below the ocean’s surface. This research is conducted using a variety of diving methodologies, including wet diving, seafloor habitats, remotely operated vehicles, and manned submersibles. For almost fifty years NOAA and its predecessors, the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries and the Coast and Geodetic Survey, have been actively involved in undersea research. Many of the lessons learned and technologies developed during this time have been adopted by the recreational, scientific, and military diving communities, thus benefiting divers everywhere. This paper traces the history of NOAA’s two major diving programs; the NOAA Diving Program and the National Undersea Research Program, and highlights some of the significant accomplishments of each program.

Abstract:
The evolution of undersea vehicles and the research they enable have been mutually interactive ever since the first research submersible appeared in the 1930s. As scientists gained access to deep water they made new demands of the technology—to go deeper, stay longer, and accomplish more. Succeeding generations of vehicles, which were additionally influenced by commercial and military needs, grew in complexity, diversity, and size. In concert, scientific utilization progressed from observation, to survey, to intervention. Three distinct vehicle types have evolved, with each at a different level of development. Manned submersibles have reached a critical juncture created by cost and logistical requirements. The next generation is developing as a class of smaller, more sophisticated vehicles that are less demanding of their support systems. ROVs are also a mature technology but their use for research is still ramping up. Development is proceeding toward combining the diverse capabilities of full-scale systems, with the small size of low-cost vehicles. AUVs are the most recent evolutionary line, with the greatest potential for rapid technological advancement and unique research applications.

Abstract:
The paper presents a brief history of preparation for and execution of the first manned flight into space in the Vostok spacecraft. The main tasks and challenges which were solved to make this historical event possible are discussed. Further achievements of Russian manned cosmonautics are presented, including the first world’s orbital station Salyut which was constructed and launched in orbit 50 years ago. The human role in executing a space flight is studied. The tasks in the space orbit are discussed, the solutions to which with the participation of the crew have improved the space flight safety and efficiency. Examples of cosmonauts’ operations during the flights of the orbital stations Salyut, the orbital facility Mir, and the International Space Station are given to illustrate such tasks. The importance of cosmonauts’ participation in the research and experiments on the orbital stations is demonstrated, and positive examples of such participation are provided.

Abstract:
Many people, including Wernher von Braun, have drawn an analogy between the manned exploration of the solar system and scientific stations in Antarctica. Some of the Space/Antarctic parallels are quite obvious, such as the necessity to select small groups of highly trained individuals who can work together in isolation for extended periods, or in the case of the Moon/Antarctic comparison, the long day/night cycle. However, the parallel can be carried considerably further to include the types of science to be done, and, in some cases, there is even a strong similarity in environmental conditions. It may be worth while to build a new Antarctic station just to learn more about how to do planetary exploration.

Abstract:
Intensive development of Near-Earth Space is accompanied by its microbiological contamination. Viable bacteria have been already detected on external structures of the International Space Station. A thin gaseous envelope and a layer of organic deposits are formed around a manned spacecraft. They can serve as a substrate for the evolution of some forms of microorganisms. As a result, the simplest natural-technical system is emerged in the near-Earth space. Biological objects can penetrate this system from the Earth’s atmosphere, or as gas leakage from the manned spacecrafts. In the nearest future the number of orbital space stations will increase many times. Some of them will be created by private firms for the purpose of space tourism development. Between the orbital stations and the Earth will be a constant transport of large numbers of people and cargos. Together with them microscopic biological objects will move in both directions. As a result of this, the natural-technical systems of space vehicles will integrate in the global natural-technical system — biotechnosphere. New strains of microorganisms which are hazardous to human may occur in the near-Earth space. The exploitation of a large number of manned stations in the Space hypothetically creates conditions for the penetration of alien life forms to the Earth. For timely identification of such threats it has been proposed to create an interdisciplinary scientific research complex. Its purpose is monitoring the appearance of new organisms at all stages of their movement from the near-Earth space to the Earth. Special attention should be paid to the study of biological objects detected on the Earth in areas hardly suitable for terrestrial microorganisms, for example, in different technological environments or clusters of toxic waste.

Abstract:
Recently, unmanned vehicle (UV) research has increased its popularity around the globe not only for military applications but also for civilian uses. For military fields, UVs can enhance homeland defense, carry out coast and air surveillance, counter terrorists and most importantly, reduce harm to the manned force when certain mission may contain threat. As a consequence, UVs become an inevitable part of the Navy Force and extend the Navy mission handling capabilities. When it comes to research, UVs can be used to observe the climate, deliver goods, perform undersea testing, etc. But the open environment is dynamic, unforeseen and fast changing. Thus, a UV which has the ability to choose the optimal path autonomously based on the current situation not only can increase the efficiency of the UV, but also can save costs and time for the users. As a result, increasing the autonomy of the UV has attracted the attention of many researchersin recent years. Our research is based on the Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation model. We develop a simulation model architecture so as to realize collision free path planning and path optimization of an unmanned vehicle.

Abstract:
During longtime space fights and interplanetary missions among numerous outboard risks, the crew faces onboard microbiological intruders as well. There is no way to send biological tests for the analysis to the Earth in such missions, so special onboard system of methods and activities must solve two different problems: sampling different types of bacteria and fungus and perform independent analysis of collected material without professional microbiologist among the crew and any help from the Earth. So we meet an interesting task to create system that would minimize human factor and rely mostly on computing machinery. In order to use pattern recognition method, we need to perform proper tests sampling and prepare them for the machine analysis. Stereoscopy and spectrometry is the only way to achieve our goal. Apart from tests sampling it is necessary to develop modified mathematical model for pattern recognition of bacteria and fungus, which were found during the flight. For that reason we are making mathematical model, describing microbiological samples. Still, we have a lot of work to do but the result of our research could become common use not only in space sector, but also in clinical medicine as well.

Abstract:
AbstractStudents with Santa Clara University (SCU) and the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) are developing an innovative platform for shallow water bathymetry. Bathymetry data is used to analyze the geography, ecosystem, and health of marine habitats. Current methods for shallow water measurements typically involve large manned vessels that are costly to operate and that may pose a danger to themselves and the environment in shallow, semi-navigable waters. Small vessels, however, are prone to disturbances by shallow water waves, tides, and currents, thereby requiring more instrumentation and computation to accurately process bathymetric data. The SCU/MBARI autonomous surface vessel, SeaWASP, is designed to operate safely and stably in waters as shallow as 1 m without significant manned support in order to produce cost-effective and high-quality bathymetric maps.The SeaWASP design introduces several key design innovations in order to provide high-quality maps with a platform that is safe, stable, and inexpensive. A small waterplane area twin hull (SWATH) design features a submerged dual hull, a small waterplane area, and a high mass-to-damping ratio, thereby making the craft less prone to disturbances. Precision sensing, autonomous control, and platform-level configuration planning and control algorithms are used to navigate the boat along desirable trajectories in support of efficient map generation and to implement low-cost unpiloted operations. Bathymetry is measured with multibeam sonar in concert with Doppler Velocity Logger and GPS sensors.The vessel has been operated successfully in several open water test environments, including Elkhorn Slough, Steven’s Creek Reservoir, and Lake Tahoe, all in California. It is currently in the final stages of integration and test for its first major science mission at Orcas Island, San Juan Islands, WA, in 2009. Final deployment will be at the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA’s) Kasitsna Bay Laboratory in Alaska as one element of a multi-system remote observatory.SeaWASP has been developed in partnership with SCU, MBARI, the University of Alaska‐Fairbanks, and NOAA’s West Coast and Polar Regions Undersea Research Center.

Abstract:
Abstract The proposed technology provides subsea autonomous solutions using artificial intelligence and communication software. These integrate wirelessly between Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) and Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs). This is a significant improvement on the current pre-programmed mode of AUVs and the subsea communications and operation of autonomous robotics. Furthermore, the technology allows underwater wireless communication between autonomous subsea robotics and introduces new operational opportunities using simultaneous multi-robotic subsea arrays. Underwater vehicles are used for a wide variety of operations that include – but are not limited to inspection/identification, oceanography, survey missions or samples picking. Underwater vehicles may be manned or unmanned. Among the unmanned vehicles, there are ROVs and AUVs. An Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) is a robot that travels underwater without requiring input from an operator. AUVs constitute part of a larger group of undersea systems known as unmanned underwater vehicles, a classification that includes the mentioned non-autonomous Remotely Operated underwater Vehicles (ROVs) – controlled and powered from the surface by an operator/pilot via an umbilical or using remote control. ROVs are unmanned underwater vehicles connected to a base station, which may be a ship. As mentioned ROVs are connected to the ship by means of cables; this implies that the maximum achievable distance between the ROV and the base station is limited by the length of the cable. AUVs are unmanned underwater vehicles, which are connected to a docking station by means of a wireless communication. Typically, AUVs are propelled through the energy stored in batteries housed in their body. This means that the operative range of an AUV is limited by the capacity of the battery. This type of underwater vehicles has recently become an attractive alternative for underwater search and exploration since they are cheaper than manned vehicles. Over the past years, there have been abundant attempts to develop underwater vehicles to meet the challenge of exploration and extraction programs in the oceans. Recently, researchers have focused on the development of AUVs for long-term data collection in oceanography and coastal management. The oil and gas industry uses AUVs to make detailed maps of the seafloor before they start building subsea infrastructure; pipelines and sub-sea completions can be installed in the most cost effective manner with minimum disruption to the environment. In addition, post-lay pipe surveys are now possible, which includes pipeline inspection. The use of AUVs for pipeline inspection and inspection of underwater man-made structures is becoming more common. With the adoption of AUV technology becoming more widespread, the limitations of the 5 technology are being explored and addressed. The average AUV charge lasts about 24- hours on an underwater AUV, but sometimes it is necessary to deploy them for the kinds of several day missions that some unmanned systems are equipped to undertake. Like most robots, the unmanned mechanisms contain batteries that require regular recharging. Docking stations that communicate directly with underwater vehicles, guiding them to where they can recharge and transfer data have been developed. Any data the AUV has gathered, such as images of the seabed, could be uploaded to the docking station and transmitted to home base, which could direct new instructions to the robot any underwater vehicle requiring the need of a wireless communication with the docking station faces at least the problem of the limitations for wireless communications in water
