International Engagement & Partnerships:Building on the Past, Boldly Collaborating for the FutureGoddard Memorial Symposium 28 Mar 2012 Dr. John Olson Director, Strategic Analysis & Integration Division Human Exploration & Operations Mission Directorate NASA Headquarters
Cornerstone of Exploration: The International Space Station • Scientific Laboratory • Technology Test Bed • Orbiting Outpost • Galactic Observatory • New Approach: CASIS Sustain Human Health and Performance • Ensure Systems Readiness • Validate Operational Procedures
International Space Station:Research and Technology Applications & Demo Testbed 1,200 experiments supporting 1,600 scientists in 63 counties Observing Planet Earth: Documenting global change and geographic events; aiding in disaster relief Improving Life Support: 70-80% water and air recycling on ISS Improving Zero-G Health: Bone loss prevention through exercise and space medicine • Leveraging a Materials Testbed:Improving satellite component development and spacecraft design • Teaching 30+ million students from ISS: Students participate in downlinks and interactive experiments with ISS astronauts ISS Research and Developmental Technologies: Closed-loop life support • Advanced monitoring & control • In-space assembly • Maintainability • supportability and logistics • Solar panels and batteries • EVA technologies • Automated systems • Exercise systems • Medical care • Food systems
A History of Collaboration and Cooperation: ISS as a Stepping-Stone for Deep-Space Exploration International Cooperation = Vital
International Space Exploration Coordination Group: ISECGTerms of Reference • Work collectively in a non-binding, consensus-driven manner toward advancing the Global Exploration Strategy • Provide a forum for discussion of interests, objectives and plans • Provide a forum for development of conceptual products • Enable the multilateral or bilateral partnerships necessary to accomplish complex exploration missions • Promote interest and engagement in space exploration among citizens and society • ISECG operating principles • Open and inclusive, flexible and evolutionary, effective, mutual interest • ISECG chairmanship rotates approximately once per year
The ISECG Global Exploration Roadmap • The first iteration of the Global Exploration Roadmap (GER) was released by ISECG in September 2011 • Second iteration planned end 2012/early 2013 • The GER reflects the international effort to collaboratively define technically feasible and programmatically implementable exploration mission scenarios with the common goal of humans on the surface of Mars • Asteroid Next, Moon Next • GER serves as a non-binding reference for agencies to inform near-term decisions related to exploration preparatory activities
ISECG Global Exploration Roadmap:Two Exploration Pathways in a Common Strategy Mars: Ultimate Goal for All Scenarios Deep Space Habitat at Earth-Moon Lagrange Point1 Lunar Surface Asteroid Mars Surface ① ＩＳＳ （LEO） LEO & ISS Lunar Surface Earth-Moon Lagrange L1 Astreroid ② or Mars Orbit Next Steps Near-term Focus on Guiding Capabilities, Technologies and Leveraging ISS Long-term Focus is Discovery Driven and Enhanced by Emerging Technologies 7 Given their broad-based benefits, International Partnerships are essential. The Global Exploration Roadmap is consistent with NASA’s Capability-Driven Framework for Human Space Exploration.
