A Situation Awareness Assistant for Human Deep Space Exploration
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the development and testing of a Virtual Camera (VC) system to improve astronaut and mission operations situation awareness while exploring other planetary bodies. In this embodiment, the VC is implemented using a tablet-based computer system to navigate through inter· active database application. It is claimed that the advanced interaction media capability of the VC can improve situation awareness as the distribution of hu· man space exploration roles change in deep space exploration. The VC is being developed and tested for usability and capability to improve situation awareness. Work completed thus far as well as what is needed to complete the project will be described. Planned testing will also be described.

It can minimize the risk of astron...
متن کاملCentaur-type Service Robot Technology Assessment for Astronaut Assistant Development
This paper describes the assessment of the most relevant astronaut assistant activities on the surfaces of the Moon and Mars and, furthermore, the robotic technology development requirements to implement these activities with a centaur-like outdoor service robot, called the WorkPartner. The activity assessment is done by extracting five common mission scenarios from the most recent ESA and NASA...
متن کاملDeep space missions and the issue of overcoming the problem of space radiation
As a member of the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS), Iran has a long-term space exploration program. Space radiation is one of the challenges facing humans when they go outside Earth's protective atmosphere and magnetic field. Space is an environment that the cardinal principles of radiation protection i.e. time, distance and shielding cannot be effectively ...
متن کاملSAWA: An Assistant for Higher-Level Fusion and Situation Awareness
Situation awareness involves the identification and monitoring of relationships among level-one objects. This problem in general is intractable (i.e., there is a potentially infinite number of relations that could be tracked) and thus requires additional constraints and guidance defined by the user if there is to be any hope of creating practical situation awareness systems. This paper describe...
متن کاملDevelopment of Methodologies, Metrics, and Tools for Investigating Human- Robot Interaction in Space Robotics
Human-robot systems are expected to have a central role in future space exploration missions that extend beyond lowearth orbit [1]. As part of a directed research project funded by NASA’s Human Research Program (HRP), researchers at the Johnson Space Center have started to use a variety of techniques, including literature reviews, case studies, knowledge capture, field studies, and experiments ...
