  • SPHERES Interact - Human-Machine Interaction Aboard the International Space Station
    SPHERES Interact - Human-Machine Interaction aboard the International Space Station Enrico Stoll Steffen Jaekel Jacob Katz Alvar Saenz-Otero Space Systems Laboratory Massachusetts Institute of Technology 77 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge Massachusetts, 02139-4307, USA [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Renuganth Varatharajoo Department of Aerospace Engineering University Putra Malaysia 43400 Selangor, Malaysia [email protected] Abstract The deployment of space robots for servicing and maintenance operations, which are tele- operated from ground, is a valuable addition to existing autonomous systems since it will provide flexibility and robustness in mission operations. In this connection, not only robotic manipulators are of great use but also free-flying inspector satellites supporting the oper- ations through additional feedback to the ground operator. The manual control of such an inspector satellite at a remote location is challenging since the navigation in three- dimensional space is unfamiliar and large time delays can occur in the communication chan- nel. This paper shows a series of robotic experiments, in which satellites are controlled by astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The Synchronized Position Hold Engage Reorient Experimental Satellites (SPHERES) were utilized to study several aspects of a remotely controlled inspector satellite. The focus in this case study is to investigate different approaches to human-spacecraft interaction with varying levels of autonomy under zero-gravity conditions. 1 Introduction Human-machine interaction is a wide spread research topic on Earth since there are many terrestrial applica- tions, such as industrial assembly or rescue robots. Analogously, there are a number of possible applications in space such as maintenance, inspection and assembly amongst others.

  • Autonomous Robotic Systems for Mars Exploration Dr. Andrew E
    Autonomous Robotic Systems for Mars Exploration Dr. Andrew E. Johnson Jet Propulsion Laboratory California Institute of Technology Robotic spacecraft that land on and rove over the surface of Mars must be designed to overcome many challenges due to the hostile and uncertain environment. Winds and dust buffet landers as they descend rapidly to the surface. Rocks, scarps, dunes and slopes must be avoided during landing and rover traverse. Temperature extremes, radiation, shock and vibration stress mechanical designs and computing must recover gracefully from hardware and software failures. The round-trip light time precludes direct tele-operation so all vehicle motion is executed autonomously on-board given high level commands from earth. Autonomous robotic systems are increasingly used to mitigate these challenges while also extending the capabilities of the spacecraft. The objective of robotic Mars missions is to advance scientific discovery. Science return is greater when there is geological diversity and stratigraphy near the landing site, but these create terrain that is risky for landing. To mitigate these risks autonomous robotic systems are being developed for safe landing in these hazardous terrains. Algorithms have been developed that estimate the pose of the lander relative to known landmarks and automatically detect and avoid landing hazards. These algorithms are being combined with sensors and high performance computing to create bolt-on systems for safe and pin-point landing. Landing is fully autonomous and failure is not recoverable, so these systems are designed to be self- checking and as simple as possible while also dealing with environmental factors like illumination variations, dust and terrain relief.

  • The Cassini-Huygens Mission Overview
    SpaceOps 2006 Conference AIAA 2006-5502 The Cassini-Huygens Mission Overview N. Vandermey and B. G. Paczkowski Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 91109 The Cassini-Huygens Program is an international science mission to the Saturnian system. Three space agencies and seventeen nations contributed to building the Cassini spacecraft and Huygens probe. The Cassini orbiter is managed and operated by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The Huygens probe was built and operated by the European Space Agency. The mission design for Cassini-Huygens calls for a four-year orbital survey of Saturn, its rings, magnetosphere, and satellites, and the descent into Titan’s atmosphere of the Huygens probe. The Cassini orbiter tour consists of 76 orbits around Saturn with 45 close Titan flybys and 8 targeted icy satellite flybys. The Cassini orbiter spacecraft carries twelve scientific instruments that are performing a wide range of observations on a multitude of designated targets. The Huygens probe carried six additional instruments that provided in-situ sampling of the atmosphere and surface of Titan. The multi-national nature of this mission poses significant challenges in the area of flight operations. This paper will provide an overview of the mission, spacecraft, organization and flight operations environment used for the Cassini-Huygens Mission. It will address the operational complexities of the spacecraft and the science instruments and the approach used by Cassini- Huygens to address these issues. I. The Mission Saturn has fascinated observers for over 300 years. The only planet whose rings were visible from Earth with primitive telescopes, it was not until the age of robotic spacecraft that questions about the Saturnian system’s composition could be answered.

  • Architecture for Going to the Outer Solar System
    ARGOSY ARGOSY: ARchitecture for Going to the Outer solar SYstem Ralph L. McNutt Jr. ll solar system objects are, in principle, targets for human in situ exploration. ARGOSY (ARchitecture for Going to the Outer solar SYstem) addresses anew the problem of human exploration to the outer planets. The ARGOSY architecture approach is scalable in size and power so that increasingly distant destinations—the systems of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune—can be reached with the same crew size and time require- ments. To enable such missions, achievable technologies with appropriate margins must be used to construct a viable technical approach at the systems level. ARGOSY thus takes the step past Mars in addressing the most difficult part of the Vision for Space AExploration: To extend human presence across the solar system.

Kestay, C. Dundas; U.S. Geological Survey, Astrogeology Science Center, 2255 N. Gemini Dr., Flagstaff, AZ, 86001 ([email protected]) Introduction The year 2050 will mark 106 years since humans opened the door to space and to the Solar System. In 1944, MW 18014, a German V-2 rocket was vertically launched and became—with an apoapsis of 176-kilometers—the first human-made object to reach space. Near-space and just beyond continued to be explored over the next decade and a half. In 1957, of course, Sputnik 1 be- came the first artificial object to achieve Earth orbit [1]. Robotic exploration of the Solar System began when Luna 1 was launched from Tyuratam, U.S.S.R. on Jan- uary 2 1959. Its intended scientific goals included mea- surements of interplanetary gases, corpuscular radiation Figure 1: Plot of the attempted and successful launches of the Sun, and magnetic fields of both Earth and the of spacecraft used to explore the Solar System.
