Radiation Protection in Manned Space Mission.

Radiation Hazards and Manned Space Flight.

T HE POTENTIAL medical hazards of man's venture into space will span a number of disciplines in regard to the pathology and deranged physiology to which the human body may be subject in travel beyond the earth's atmosphere. Not the least hazard is that having to do with the effects of radiation to be encountered in free space. This problem is one which is receiving considerable attention from a...

Radiation protection in space.

The challenge for planning radiation protection in space is to estimate the risk of events of low probability after low levels of irradiation. This work has revealed many gaps in our knowledge that require further study. Despite investigations of several irradiated populations, the atomic-bomb survivors remain the primary basis for estimating the risk of ionizing radiation. Compared with previo...

The Challenge of Evolving Mission Operations Tools for Manned Space Flight

In this paper we describe the impact of changing mission operations requirements on mission planning tools for human spaceflight. We use the task of planning S-Band communications for the International Space Station (ISS), as a case study. Existing planners such as the Consolidated Planning System (CPS) permit the declaration of requirements for activities, such as the set of allowed S-Band com...

Implementation of a Manned Vehicle - UAV Mission System

We discuss the development, integration, simulation, and flight test of a manned vehicle UAV mission system in a partially-known environment. The full control system allows a manned aircraft to issue mission level commands to an autonomous aircraft in realtime. This system includes a Natural Language (NL) Interface to allow the manned and unmanned vehicle to communicate in languages understood ...
