Introduction This handbook provides information of KIBO Exposed Facility (EF) environment, on-orbit and ground services, and guidelines for payloads development for the people who are planning to perform experiments on the EF. When you start developing EF payloads, please make sure to refer and apply “JEM Payload Accommodation Handbook” and other specification documents. Also, the payloads need to meet interface requirements with JEM systems such as JEM Remote Manipulator Systems and need to clear the Safety Review. This handbook is written based on the latest information but please double check if the data is the latest when you start developing your payloads. We hope this handbook help you to understand the EF and its services.

General Information This section describes the overall summaries about KIBO Exposed Facility (EF) and contact information if users plan to launch their payloads and perform experiments. JDX-2012303 NC 1.1 What is KIBO Exposed Facility The Exposed Facility (EF) provides a multipurpose platform where science experiments can be deployed and operated in the exposed environment. The payloads attached to the EF can be exchanged or retrieved by KIBO's robotics arm, the JEM Remote Manipulator System (JEMRMS). There are total 12 attach points (port) on the EF for the payload, and the EF provides various resources to each port to support the experiments such as power, cooling system, and communications. The EF was launched on July 16, 2009 (Japanese Time) by the Space Shuttle Endeavour （STS-127 Flight 2J/A） and berthed and activated. There are 4 payloads on the EF and they are operated nominally as of August 2010. The EF attached location on the ISS is as follows. KIBO EF +X +Z Zenith +Y Port Forward

  • Mission Design for the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter
    AAS 07-057 Mission Design for the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Mark Beckman Goddard Space Flight Center, Code 595 29th ANNUAL AAS GUIDANCE AND CONTROL CONFERENCE February 4-8, 2006 Sponsored by Breckenridge, Colorado Rocky Mountain Section AAS Publications Office, P.O. Box 28130 - San Diego, California 92198 AAS-07-057 MISSION DESIGN FOR THE LUNAR RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER † Mark Beckman The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) will be the first mission under NASA’s Vision for Space Exploration. LRO will fly in a low 50 km mean altitude lunar polar orbit. LRO will utilize a direct minimum energy lunar transfer and have a launch window of three days every two weeks. The launch window is defined by lunar orbit beta angle at times of extreme lighting conditions. This paper will define the LRO launch window and the science and engineering constraints that drive it. After lunar orbit insertion, LRO will be placed into a commissioning orbit for up to 60 days. This commissioning orbit will be a low altitude quasi-frozen orbit that minimizes stationkeeping costs during commissioning phase. LRO will use a repeating stationkeeping cycle with a pair of maneuvers every lunar sidereal period. The stationkeeping algorithm will bound LRO altitude, maintain ground station contact during maneuvers, and equally distribute periselene between northern and southern hemispheres. Orbit determination for LRO will be at the 50 m level with updated lunar gravity models. This paper will address the quasi-frozen orbit design, stationkeeping algorithms and low lunar orbit determination. INTRODUCTION The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) is the first of the Lunar Precursor Robotic Program’s (LPRP) missions to the moon.

STUDENT SECTION (PAGES 8-15) Background Why do we need robotic arms when working in space? As an example, try holding a book in your hands straight out in front of you and not moving them for one or two minutes. After a while, do your hands start to shake or move around? Imagine how hard it would be to hold your hands steady for many days in a row, or to lift something really heavy. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a really long arm that never gets tired? Well, to help out in space, scientists have designed and used robotic arms for years. On Earth, scientists have designed robotic arms for everything from moving heavy equipment to performing delicate surgery. Robotic arms are important machines that help people work on Earth as well as in space. Astronaut attached to a robotic arm on the ISS. Look at your arms once again.

The current version is prepared for CBS News. As with the original, the goal here is to provide useful information on U.S. and Russian space flights so reporters and producers will not be forced to rely on government or industry public affairs officers at times when it might be difficult to get timely responses. All of these data are available elsewhere, of course, but not necessarily in one place. The STS-134 version of the CBS News Space Reporter's Handbook was compiled from NASA news releases, JSC flight plans, the Shuttle Flight Data and In-Flight Anomaly List, NASA Public Affairs and the Flight Dynamics office (abort boundaries) at the Johnson Space Center in Houston.
