An Overview of the Ease/Access Space Construction Demonstration
With the successful completion of the EASE/ACCESS demonstration, NASA took a significant step toward understanding construction in space. These experiments were performed on November 29...

Adaptable Crew Facilities for Future Space Modules
This paper discusses life-size studies recently carried out on advanced crew accommodation features for future space module utilization. The studies are based on exploratory designs for...

Planar Space Structures
This paper describes a construction system which has a number of practical advantages for the development of space structures. It uses relatively thin materials folded into interpenetrated...

Space Station - New Venture/Old Problem
Four key operations-related costs are associated with the Space Station: (1) transportation, (2) data management, (3) sustaining engineering, and (4) integrated logistics. Life cycle cost...

Pacific Space Port
The concept of the Pacific Space Center advocated by Mr. Tetuso Kondo (member of the House of Representatives, former Director General of the Economic Planning Agency) and Dr. Tatsuo Yamanaka...

Antarctic Research and Lunar Exploration: Useful Parallels
Review of the process of scientific exploration in the Antarctic may provide insights into areas that might pose problems to man when further exploration of the lunar surface is begun....

Strategy for Design and Construction of Lunar Facilities
This paper summarizes the results of a qualitative investigation to identify methods for design and construction of near-term lunar facilities. It is judged that to accomplish such construction...

Indirect Solar Loading of Waste Heat Radiators
Waste heat from space based power systems must ultimately be radiated away into space. The local topology around the radiators must be considered from two standpoints: the scattering of...

The Liquid Droplet Radiator in Space: A Parametric Approach
This study is a parametric investigation of the performance and operating characteristics of a cylindrical Liquid Droplet Radiator (LDR) for use in space. The LDR system mass per heat...

Waste Management: Project Mercury to the Space Station
This paper presents my perceptions of the design of waste management systems for manned space flights. I'll follow the evolution of waste management from the early Mercury...

Plasma Reactor Waste Management Systems
The University of North Dakota is developing a plasma reactor system for use in closed-loop processing which includes biological, materials, manufacturing, and waste processing. Direct-current,...

Wastewater Recycle/Reuse: Lessons-Learned from USA-CERL Research and Development
Ultimate acceptance of water recycle/reuse by the scientific community is a function of rigorous data collection and successful demonstration regarding health effects. An uncomplicated,...

Advanced Technology for a Lunar Astronomical Observatory
Significant new technologies are required for three proposed telescopes to be operated on the Moon. These technologies are in the areas of contamination/interference control, test and...

A Space Station Millimeter Facility
The design and use of a large millimeter telescope for construction on the planned Space Station (a Space Station Millimeter Facility, SSMF) are described. Such a facility would have manifold...

A New Approach to Higher Education on Space
Many universities around the country offer various types of space-related programs at undergraduate and graduate levels. These tend to be narrowly focused on space science or aerospace...

Report on the International Space University^TM 1988 Summer Session and Lunar Design Project
This paper describes the 1988 Summer Session of the International Space University (ISU) and the International Lunar Initiative (ILI) Design Project, taking place for nine weeks in the...

Space Facilities in Classroom Imagineering
This paper describes the rationale and results of two college classroom projects organized around themes of space facilities. These projects required Architecture students to prepare facility...

Space Construction Animator: Functional Requirements
This paper explores the idea of developing integrated design/construction tools. In order to develop suitable computer graphics integrated tools for space construction operations, the...

Structural Art in the Lunar Environment
Building structures will be a necessary part of extending our presence on the moon. In designing and building these structures, aesthetic value will play a prominent role. History shows...

CADD, The Integrated Data Base (IDB), and Engineering, Construction and Operations (EC&O) in Space
This paper is written from the viewpoint of Engineering Technical Managers interested in applying automation tools to the building process. Engineering, Construction and Operations in...
