Design and Evaluation of an Exploration Assistant for Human Deep Space Risk Mitigation

چکیده
This paper describes the development of a Virtual Camera (VC) system to improve astronaut and mission operations situation awareness while exploring other planetary bodies. It is claimed that the advanced interaction media capability of the VC can improve situation awareness as the distribution of human space exploration roles change in deep space exploration. It can minimize the risk of astronauts exploring unknown reaches of the solar system with limited previous knowledge of the area under exploration. It can be thought of as a tour guide with captured expertise to aid exploration. It provides a collaborative tool so that ground-based expert knowledge can be captured and be easily assessable in the remote deep space environment. A tablet PC-based interactive database application has been developed and tested for usability and capability to improve situation awareness. The method of testing will be described as well as testing results.

An Optimization Model for Financial Resource Allocation Towards Seismic Risk Reduction
This paper presents a study on determining the degree of effectiveness of earthquake risk mitigation measures and how to prioritize such efforts in developing countries. In this paper a model is proposed for optimizing funds allocation towards risk reduction measures (building retrofitting) and reconstruction process after potential earthquakes in a regional level. The proposed model seeks opti...
متن کاملFuture role of vitamin C in radiation mitigation and its possible applications in manned deep space missions: survival study and the measurement of cell viability
Background: Astronauts will be exposed to both chronic space radiation and acute high doses of energetic radiation of solar particle events in long-term deep space missions. The application of radioprotectors in space missions has basic limitations such as their very short time window as well as their acute toxicity and considerable side effects. The aim of the present study was to investigate ...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Humanity Research Paradigms based on Analysis of Human – Environment Interaction
As claimed by many behavioral scientists, designing should be based on the knowledge of interaction between human and environment. Environmental quality is also created in the context in which humans interact with their environment. To achieve such quality, designers should develop appropriate models for explaining this relationship, and this requires an understanding of human nature and the en...
