NASA’s Commercial Crew Program is delivering on its goal of safe, reliable, and cost-effective human transportation to and from the International Space Station from the United States through a partnership with American private industry. A new generation of spacecraft and launch systems capable of carrying astronauts to low-Earth orbit and the International Space Station provides expanded utility, additional research time, and broader opportunities for discovery on the orbiting laboratory. The station is a critical testbed for NASA to understand and overcome the challenges of long- duration spaceflight. As commercial companies focus on providing human transportation services to and from low-Earth orbit, NASA is freed up to focus on building spacecraft and rockets for deep space missions. With the ability to purchase astronaut transportation from Boeing and SpaceX as a service on a fixed-price contract, NASA can use resources to put the first woman and the first person of color on the Moon as a part of our Artemis missions in preparation for human missions to Mars.

  • A Strategic Pathway to the Artificial Gravity Testbed Element in Low Earth Orbit
    50th International Conference on Environmental Systems ICES-2021-318 12-15 July 2021 A Strategic Pathway to the Artificial Gravity Testbed Element in Low Earth Orbit Albert Rajkumar1 and Kriss J. Kennedy2 University of Houston, Houston, TX. This paper is a continuation of previous investigations of a testbed for an artificial gravity (AG) platform in low Earth orbit. The goal of the initial design proposal is to address a knowledge gap in our understanding of the long-term effects of partial gravity on physiological and psychological human capabilities. Therefore, the objective is to create a capability to undertake research to address this knowledge gap. Because human centrifuges on Earth cannot recreate effects of partial gravity on human physiology and parabolic flights fail to provide long enough exposures to generate reliable data, novel research platforms to investigate partial gravity effects on humans and systems are needed. The proposed artificial gravity 3-body testbed (AG Testbed Element) will comprise two customized crewed-Dragons docked to a Central Hub, which in turn will dock to the Zvezda module of the International Space Station intermittently. The goals & objectives of the AG Testbed have been divided into two categories: technical and physiological. The testbed's first phase will develop the technical systems to ensure the spinning testbed is human rated. The second phase will be dedicated to physiological research test objectives. First, this paper explores the AG Testbed Element Design, Development, Test & Evaluation (DDT&E) plan and risk mitigation strategies. Secondly, this effort explores an evolutionary roadmap towards a larger, more robust platform which will address the knowledge gap mentioned later.

  • Sources of Extraterrestrial Rare Earth Elements: to the Moon and Beyond
    resources Article Sources of Extraterrestrial Rare Earth Elements: To the Moon and Beyond Claire L. McLeod 1,* and Mark. P. S. Krekeler 2 1 Department of Geology and Environmental Earth Sciences, 203 Shideler Hall, Miami University, Oxford, OH 45056, USA 2 Department of Geology and Environmental Earth Science, Miami University-Hamilton, Hamilton, OH 45011, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: 513-529-9662; Fax: 513-529-1542 Received: 10 June 2017; Accepted: 18 August 2017; Published: 23 August 2017 Abstract: The resource budget of Earth is limited. Rare-earth elements (REEs) are used across the world by society on a daily basis yet several of these elements have <2500 years of reserves left, based on current demand, mining operations, and technologies. With an increasing population, exploration of potential extraterrestrial REE resources is inevitable, with the Earth’s Moon being a logical first target. Following lunar differentiation at ~4.50–4.45 Ga, a late-stage (after ~99% solidification) residual liquid enriched in Potassium (K), Rare-earth elements (REE), and Phosphorus (P), (or “KREEP”) formed. Today, the KREEP-rich region underlies the Oceanus Procellarum and Imbrium Basin region on the lunar near-side (the Procellarum KREEP Terrain, PKT) and has been tentatively estimated at preserving 2.2 × 108 km3 of KREEP-rich lithologies. The majority of lunar samples (Apollo, Luna, or meteoritic samples) contain REE-bearing minerals as trace phases, e.g., apatite and/or merrillite, with merrillite potentially contributing up to 3% of the PKT. Other lunar REE-bearing lunar phases include monazite, yittrobetafite (up to 94,500 ppm yttrium), and tranquillityite (up to 4.6 wt % yttrium, up to 0.25 wt % neodymium), however, lunar sample REE abundances are low compared to terrestrial ores.
