  2. Collaboration Between NASA and GM Similar challenges, Different applications

  3. Johnson Space Center Main Site: Houston, Texas Civil Servants ~3300 On/near site ~13,000 White Sands Test Facility New Mexico Ellington Field Sonny Carter Training Facility

  4. International Space Station • Complex systems engineering and integration • Continuous crewed operations • Remote hazardous environment • Limited resupply with focus on sustainability

  5. Complex Systems Engineering and Integration • Design trades • Integration of elements, systems and software • Probabilistic risk assessment • Modeling, testing and analysis

  6. Continuous Crewed Operations • Crew and ground team selection and training • Planning and integration of complex functions and operations • Realistic multinational simulations • Failure response to protect crew and achieve objectives

  7. Remote, Hazardous Environment:Human System • Telemedicine • Exercise, nutrition, behavioral health • Environmental monitoring

  8. Remote, Hazardous Environment:Systems and Equipment • Vibration and acoustics • Radiation protection • Thermal regulation

  9. Limited Resupply • Sustainable life support systems • Logistics planning • Reliability and maintainability engineering

  10. Exploration Technology • Lightweight structures • Surface mobility • Human health and performance

  11. Doing Business with NASA • In addition to: • Contracts • Grants • Technology licensing • NASA engages in agreements based • on 1958 Space Act language • Reimbursable Space Act Agreements • Non-reimbursable Space Act Agreements

  12. Technology Licensing Partially Reimbursable Space Act Agreement • Bigelow Aerospace and NASA • Develop technology of expandable space/surface structures

  13. Non-Reimbursable Space Act Agreement • BioMat Sciences, Inc. and NASA • Develop innovative treatments for dental emergencies • Treatment by non-expert astronaut in space • Potential commercial use that is less invasive and expensive

  14. Reimbursable Space Agreements and Contracts • Industry and NASA to use underwater facility • High fidelity environment for underwater testing and training • Examples: • Autonomous underwater vehicle • Emergency training for off-shore workers

  15. Reimbursable Space Act Agreements • US Dept. of Transportation and White Sands Test Facility • Hazard testing example: • Test & failure analysis of pressurized composite structures 15
