    Russia reports 'non-standard' air leak on Space Station 29 September 2020 manned space programmes, in a televised comment. He said the ISS always has slight air loss due to the air purifying system. "These leaks are predictable. What's happening now is more than the standard leakage and naturally if it lasts a long time, it will require supplies of extra air to the station," he said. He said the crew were now resting but hoped to find the precise spot and fix the leak on Wednesday.

  • International Space Medicine Summit 2018
    INTERNATIONAL SPACE MEDICINE SUMMIT 2018 October 25–28, 2018 • Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy • Houston, Texas INTERNATIONAL SPACE MEDICINE SUMMIT 2018 October 25–28, 2018 • Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy • Houston, Texas About the Event As we continue human space exploration, much more research is needed to prevent and/or mitigate the medical, psychological and biomedical challenges spacefarers face. The International Space Station provides an excellent laboratory in which to conduct such research. It is essential that the station be used to its fullest potential via cooperative studies and the sharing of equipment and instruments between the international partners. The application of the lessons learned from long-duration human spaceflight and analog research environments will not only lead to advances in technology and greater knowledge to protect future space travelers, but will also enhance life on Earth. The 12th annual International Space Medicine Summit on Oct. 25-28, 2018, brings together the leading physicians, space biomedical scientists, engineers, astronauts, cosmonauts and educators from the world’s spacefaring nations for high-level discussions to identify necessary space medicine research goals as well as ways to further enhance international cooperation and collaborative research. All ISS partners are represented at the summit. The summit is co-sponsored by the Baker Institute Space Policy Program, Texas A&M University College of Engineering and Baylor College of Medicine. Organizers Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy The mission of Rice University’s Baker Institute is to help bridge the gap between the theory and practice of public policy by drawing together experts from academia, government, media, business and nongovernmental organizations.

    EVALUATION OF FLIGHT CONTROL TECHNIQUES USING VIRTUAL REALITY IN AN ARTIFICIAL GRAVITY ROTATING ENVIRONMENT A Thesis by ROBERT DALLAS HOGAN Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Chair of Committee, Gregory Chamitoff Committee Members, Nancy Currie-Gregg Kristi Shryock Head of Department, Rodney Bowersox August 2019 Major Subject: Aerospace Engineering Copyright 2019 Robert Dallas Hogan ABSTRACT The purpose of this thesis is to develop a collaborative virtual reality (VR) engineering platform for space system and mission design and to demonstrate its utility in the context of evaluating human interfaces for future control systems. Much of the work for this project was the development of the platform itself (called SpaceCRAFT). Additionally, a user study was done with 33 subjects to examine the potential advantages of designing and testing systems in virtual environments that otherwise may be difficult to replicate on Earth. The task evaluated was flying a drone in a rotating artificial gravity environment, which involves numerous unfamiliar forces. Different control strategies were tested using VR in comparison to flat screen interfaces. This particular challenge was chosen to emphasize the difference between immersive and non-immersive environments, and the results demonstrate that VR is a promising tool for human-interface system design and evaluation. The 50-meter radius space station simulated an open-air, long-term habitable environment and was designed with considerations of human factors for rotating reference frames. A quadrotor control model was developed and simulated a variety of stabilization and sensitivity modes.
