Advanced Water Recovery Technologies for Long Duration Space Exploration Missions
Extended-duration space travel and habitation require recovering water from wastewater generated in spacecrafts and extraterrestrial outposts since the largest consumable for human life support is water. Many wastewater treatment technologies used for terrestrial applications are adoptable to extraterrestrial situations but challenges remain as constraints of space flights and habitation impose...
متن کاملMixed-Initiative Planning for Space Exploration Missions
Modern planning and scheduling systems are capable of dealing with the size and complexity of many real world problems. However, mission critical planning is still often done by humans. Even if only a couple of plans are produced (“Master Plan” and “Plan B”), human experts evaluate multiple alternatives, think of contingencies, consider the likelihood of failure of various steps, and account fo...
متن کاملSustainable and Autonomic Space Exploration Missions
Visions for future space exploration have long term science missions in sight, resulting in the need for sustainable missions. Survivability is a critical property of sustainable systems and may be addressed through autonomicity, an emerging paradigm for selfmanagement of future computer-based systems based on inspiration from the human autonomic nervous system. This paper examines some of the ...
متن کاملFormally Specifying Families of Space Exploration Missions
NASA plans innovative and novel approaches to future (unmanned) space exploration missions. Future missions involve sending spacecraft and robots to harsh environments, where resilience is necessary for the survival of the mission. In addition, distances and communication lead times between the spacecraft and Earth necessitate much of the mission operation being autonomous. We have been conduct...
