  1. Human Exploration and Space Weather John R. Allen, Ph.D. 25 September 2013

  2. Overview • Operations Now • Robotic • Human • Operations of the Future • 12-Month Mission • Asteroid Capture • Mars

  3. Robotic Exploration

  4. Robotic Exploration

  5. Benefits to Earth?

  6. NASA Human Health and Performance Goal: Enable Successful Space Exploration by Minimizing the Risks of Spaceflight Hazards Mitigations Hostile Spaceflight Environment Micro-gravity Radiation Isolation Closed Environment Distance from Earth Human Risks Bone & Muscle loss, Radiation Exposure, Toxic Exposure, etc Deliverables: Technologies Countermeasures Preventions Treatments Standards

  7. Human Operations Now • Mission Completion • Crew Health and Safety

  8. Human Operations Now (?)

  9. ISS One-year Mission – Launch in March 2015 Mikhail Kornienko ISS 23/24 Scott Kelly STS-103, STS-118, ISS 25/26 Mark Kelly STS-108, STS-121, STS-124, STS-134

  10. Operations of the Future • Asteroid Initiative • Capture and redirect • Advanced solar propulsion • Creating an asteroid mission baseline concept to develop further in 2014 to help engineers establish more details about the mission • Asteroid Grand Challenge • Identify all that may threaten earth

  11. Operations of the Future • Increased radiation exposure • Increased autonomy • Increased technology

  12. Operations of the Future • Need To: • Assure Systems Function • Assure Communications • Assure the Health and Safety of Crewmembers • Predict Solar Events • Predict When Ops are Safe • Build a Sustained System for Sustained Ops
