  1. The Process to Keep the Human in Human Space Flight • National Aeronautics and Space Administration • Judith L. Robinson, Ph.D. • AsMA/Human System Integration for Space Flight • May 5, 2009

  2. Rationale for Human System Integration and Risk Management • JSC Space Life Sciences utilizes a human-centered, risk management approach • to accomplish our Human System objectives in support of Human Space Flight • to prevent and/or mitigate human health and performance risks • Focused on • Integration of all elements of the human system into one comprehensive set of activities • Implementation of a common approach to managing all human system risks • Educating the larger community re: Human Health and Performance and its relationship to Human Space Flight • Essential Aspects: • Capture human health and performance information and data • Identify risks that require further research and technology development • Provide clear risk definition with supporting evidence base • Provide a consistent approach to understand knowledge and technology gaps • Establish standards that address specific human health and performance targets • Assess and ultimately mitigate risks against standards • Process is foundational for Human Health and Performance support to Human Space Flight i.e., requirements, research, technology and countermeasure development, spacecraft and system assessments, provision of appropriate operations capabilities (ground-based and in-flight)

  3. Inter-related Human System Deliverables Human System Requirements, Astronaut Health Care, and Habitable Spacecraft Validated & Implemented Ops Countermeasure & Technology Evaluation and Validation Test & Validate Candidates Spacecraft & System Assessment and Validation Countermeasure & Technology Development Focused/Directed Human System Projects Concepts R & D Announcements & Opportunities Research to Fill Knowledge Gaps Human System Standards Human Space Flight Requirements E.g. Human Rating Requirements for Spacecraft

  4. Research How can we do better? Requirements Development Requirements Integration Negotiating project buy-in Operations Lessons learned! Design Hands-on architectural involvement Verification Were requirements met? Human/System Integration Process to Manage Human System Risk

  5. Presentations This panel, will address critical human-centric elements that contribute to increasing human system performance and ensuring mission success, and their inter-relationships.
