Space Station & Lunar/Mars Life Support Research
The first part of this paper will report on the tests now being conducted by the Environmental Control and Life Suport Systems (ECLSS) at Marshall Space Flight Center. The findings of...
Medical Care on the Moon
Eventually, people will return to the Moon to stay for prolonged periods of time. When they do, they will be exposed to a wide range of threats to their health including, decompression...
Regenerative Life Support Technology Challenges for the Space Exploration Initiative
Regenerative life support systems have been identified as one of the critical enabling technologies for future human exploration of space. This discipline encompasses processes and subsystems...
Mitigation of Adverse Environmental Effects on Lunar-Based Astronomical Instruments
The galactic cosmic-ray flux incident on the Moon was examined for its potential adverse impact on the performance of the large lunar telescope (LLT) proposed as a part of NASA's Space...
A Systems Approach to Water Recycling Research
Because of the cost of Earth resupply, water recycling from wastewater is a critical enabling technology for long duration space missions. The need and the fact that water quality is not...
Plot-scale Field Experiment of Surface Hydrologic Processes with EOS Implications
Plot-scale hydrologic field studies were initiated at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center to a) investigate the spatial and temporal variability of surface and subsurface hydrologic processes,...
Rocket Fuel to Earth Orbits from Near-Earth Asteroids and Comets
The analysis describes an architecture to bring 10,000 tons units of rocket fuel ore, propellant and construction mass back to low Earth orbit from newly discovered near-Earth comets or...
In Situ Recovery of Water from Dormant Comet Cores & CI Carbonaceous Chondrites
Water and volatiles may be produced by drill holes into dormant comet cores or class CI or CM asteroids. This is modeled after in-situ mining as in the Frasch process sulfur mines of the...
Effective Airport Environs Planning in the 1990s
A properly coordinated environs planning effort provides a guide for development and redevelopment of the land and facilities surrounding the airport. Airport environs planning, coupled...
Minneapolis/St. Paul International (MSP) Part 150 Implementation Design Overview
In February 1991, Matropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) selected the consulting team of Aviation Planning Inc., Wyle LAboratories Inc. and the Center for Energy and the Urban Environment...
Aircraft Noise Monitoring at Denver International Airport
This paper describes design of the noise monitoring system for Denver International Airport. When the airport opens in 1993, the system must monitor compliance with two standards established...
Uniform Traffic Impact Assessment Studies?A Case History of Riverside County, California
A publication was issued by the Transportation Department of Riverside County, California, in December of 1989 which required all traffic impact studies performed for new development to...
