Theoretical performance analysis of electrochromic radiators for space suit thermal control

Variable emissivity electrochromics have been proposed as an enabling technology for integrating a radiator capability into a space suit in order to augment or replace the traditional means of heat rejection achieved via water sublimation. Thermal analysis was performed to establish design trade spaces and to provide operational guidelines and performance specifications for electrochromic technology development. Based on using the available surface area of an entire space suit as a radiator and the projected infrared emissivity modulation capability of state-of-the-art electrochromic material, the proposed application for space suit heat rejection suggests the potential exists to reduce or eliminate reliance on water consumption for thermal control within a defined range of metabolic and environmental boundary conditions.     

Aquaculture in bio-regenerative life support systems (BLSS): Considerations

A significant amount of research has been invested into understanding the effects of including fish culture in bio-regenerative life support systems (BLSS) for long duration space habitation. While the benefits of fish culture as a sub-process for waste treatment and food production continue to be identified, other pressing issues arise that affect the overall equivalent system mass associated with fish culture in a BLSS. This paper is meant to provide insight into several issues affecting fish culture in a BLSS that will require attention in the future if fish meant for consumption are to be cultured in a BLSS.     

A satellite schedulability prediction algorithm for EO SPS

With notably few exceptions, the existing satellite mission operations cannot provide the ability of schedulability prediction, including the latest satellite planning service (SPS) standard-Sensor Planning Service Interface Standard 2.0 Earth Observation Satellite Tasking Extension (EO SPS) approved by Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). The requestor can do nothing but waiting for the results of time consuming batch scheduling. It is often too late to adjust the request when receiving scheduling failures. A supervised learning algorithm based on robust decision tree and bagging support vector machine (Bagging SVM) is proposed to solve the problem above. The Bagging SVM is applied to improve the accuracy of classification and robust decision tree is utilized to reduce the error mean and error variation. The simulations and analysis show that a prediction action can be accomplished in near real-time with high accuracy. This means the decision makers can maximize the probability of successful scheduling through changing request parameters or take action to accommodate the scheduling failures in time.     

Four-month Moon and Mars crew water utilization study conducted at the Flashline Mars Arctic Research Station,Devon Island,Nunavut

A categorized water usage study was undertaken at the Flashline Mars Arctic Research Station on Devon Island, Nunavut in the High Canadian Arctic. This study was conducted as part of a long duration four-month Mars mission simulation during the summer of 2007. The study determined that the crew of seven averaged 82.07 L/day over the expedition (standard deviation 22.58 L/day). The study also incorporated a Mars Time Study phase which determined that an average of 12.12 L/sol of water was required for each crewmember. Drinking, food preparation, hand/face, oral, dish wash, clothes wash, shower, shaving, cleaning, engineering, science, plant growth and medical water were each individually monitored throughout the detailed study phases. It was determined that implementing the monitoring program itself resulted in an approximate water savings of 1.5 L/day per crewmember. The seven person crew averaged 202 distinct water draws a day (standard deviation 34) with high water use periods focusing around meal times. No statistically significant correlation was established between total water use and EVA or exercise duration. Study results suggest that current crew water utilization estimates for long duration planetary surface stays are more than two times greater than that required.
