Abstract:
Perhaps no other field of scientific endeavor has been more influenced by the arts than space exploration. The artistic visions of yesteryear are the technological realities of today. These realities in turn create new possibilities for artistic expression. However, Space Art and Space Science have shared a convoluted history. Their forerunner disciplines of the Humanities and Natural Sciences and their practitioners were entrenched as polar opposites for centuries. Recent research, however, has revealed the reverse; that the psychological profile and the creative processes of artists and scie

This thesis examines user interaction with instrumentation in the specific context of space science. It gathers together existing practice in machine interfaces with a look at potential future usage and recommends a new approach to space science projects with the intention of maximising their science return. It first takes a historical perspective on user interfaces and ways of defining and measuring the science return of a space instrument. Choices of research methodology are considered.

The European Space Agency’s (ESA’s) 241Am radioisotope power systems (RPSs) research and development programme is ongoing. The chemical form of the americium oxide ‘fuel’ has yet to be decided.

Investigations with surrogates help to minimise the work with radioactive americium.

The complexity of developing multiplayer games, along with their popularity, has grown tremendously in the recent years.

In addition, experimentation in these areas can require a significant implementation effort.In this work, we present Journey, a unified framework that address all these issues

The spatial and temporal manifestations of science help form a 'chronotope of science' that allows Vernian protagonists to gain access to scientific phenomena using an aesthetically charged epistemology.

Abstract:
Most existing abstraction algorithms are sensitive to the initial problem formulation. Given two different descriptions of the same space, they will produce different abstractions, of which one might be efficient for problem-solving while the other might be inefficient. This thesis presents a completely automated approach to generating and using abstractions for problem solving in state-spaces. The strategy to overcome the problem of sensitivity is called the graph relabelling strategy. The abstraction algorithms used are all based on that strategy and on a theoretical study of the complexity

Abstract:
This thesis is the product of a knowledge acquisition effort, whose objective was to obtain information essential to the modelling and simulation of a robotically operated laboratory on board the forthcoming space station "Freedom." The information is represented using the system entity structure, a knowledge representation scheme that utilizes artificial intelligence concepts. The system entity structure details the design information and associated knowledge required for the intelligent autonomous operation of the space-based laboratory. The approach is proven to be very beneficial for organ
