This book was released on 2016 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report presents the findings of the evaluation of the Enabling Technology Development Sub-Sub-Program (SSP), which covers the activities of the Space Technology Development Program (STDP) and the services offered by the Intellectual Property Management and Technology Transfer (IPMTT) group. The STDP is an ongoing research and development (R & D) program of the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) that provides financial support through contracts and contribution agreements to entities that are selected based on their capacity to develop specific space technologies. The two fundamental and interrelated goals of the STDP are to formulate, implement, and manage R & D contracts related to the development of mission-enabling and generic technologies to support future needs of the Canadian Space Program; and to support industrial capability-building through the development of new products and services, processes, and know-how"--Executive summary, p. iv.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report presents the evaluation findings of the Canadian Space Agency's (CSA) Class Grant and Contribution (G & C) Program. The Class G & C Program to Support Awareness, Research and Training in Space Science and Technology was first approved in September 2002 for a period of five years ending on March 31, 2008. As the terms and conditions of the Program reach expiry, the CSA is required to undertake a summative evaluation of the Program in accordance with Article 7.3.7. of the Policy on Transfer Payments of the Treasury Board of Canada, Secretariat (TBS). The objective of the study was to evaluate the Program in terms of relevance, success and cost-effectiveness. The evaluation study was conducted by Government Consulting Services (GCS) on behalf of the CSA between July 2008 and November 2008"--Background and Context, p. 1.
Download or read book Component Level Electronic Assembly Repair Clear Analysis of the Problem Reporting and Corrective Action Praca Database of the International Space Station On Orbit Electrical Systems written by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-05-22 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The NASA Constellation Program is investigating and developing technologies to support human exploration of the Moon and Mars. The Component-Level Electronic-Assembly Repair (CLEAR) task is part of the Supportability Project managed by the Exploration Technology Development Program. CLEAR is aimed at enabling a flight crew to diagnose and repair electronic circuits in space yet minimize logistics spares, equipment, and crew time and training. For insight into actual space repair needs, in early 2008 the project examined the operational experience of the International Space Station (ISS) program. CLEAR examined the ISS on-orbit Problem Reporting and Corrective Action database for electrical and electronic system problems. The ISS has higher than predicted reliability yet, as expected, it has persistent problems. A goal was to identify which on-orbit electrical problems could be resolved by a component-level replacement. A further goal was to identify problems that could benefit from the additional diagnostic and test capability that a component-level repair capability could provide. The study indicated that many problems stem from a small set of root causes that also represent distinct component problems. The study also determined that there are certain recurring problems where the current telemetry instrumentation and built-in tests are unable to completely resolve the problem. As a result, the root cause is listed as unknown. Overall, roughly 42 percent of on-orbit electrical problems on ISS could be addressed with a component-level repair. Furthermore, 63 percent of on-orbit electrical problems on ISS could benefit from additional external diagnostic and test capability. These results indicate that in situ component-level repair in combination with diagnostic and test capability can be expected to increase system availability and reduce logistics. The CLEAR approach can increase the flight crew s ability to act decisively to resolve problems while reducing dependency on Earth-supplied logistics for future Constellation Program missions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The following thesis describes the current model (the Reliability and Maintainability Assessment Tool RMAT) used by NASA and related prime contractors for the forecasting of Orbital Replacement Unit (ORU) failure rates and associated maintenance demands for the International Space Station (ISS). A new model (the Comparative Maintenance Analysis Tool CMAM) is introduced and developed for replicating some of the basic functionality of RMAT in order to provide a comparative look at RMAT results. The CMAM program, developed in Visual Basic.net and dynamically linked to a Microsoft ACCESS database, focuses on a representative set of critical Orbital Replacement Units (ORUs that represent key items that require both internal and external maintenance in both pressurized and un- pressurized storage) and generated failure rate data for each critical ORU. The results of the CMAM model are then compared with the failure rates generated by RMAT program for the same set of critical ORUs. These two independently developed sets of data are then analyzed against historic failure rates for these ISS parts. The results of this analysis are used to conduct a sensitivity analysis of both the CMAM and RMAT programs in order to help identify the primary contributing factors behind divergence issues between forecasted / predicted failures and associated maintenance from actual (historical) failure rates. Recommendations are provided, based upon the results of the comparison, with respect to the sensitivity of RMAT to changes in certain input parameters, as well as on the feasibility of implementing CMAM as a comparative tool for use by both NASA and Boeing L&M personnel for the purpose of RMAT sensitivity analysis, as well as use in initial operational planning for optimizing ORU stocking levels while awaiting more comprehensive RMAT results.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looks at the operations of the International Space Station from the perspective of the Houston flight control team, under the leadership of NASA's flight directors, who authored the book. The book provides insight into the vast amount of time and energy that these teams devote to the development, planning and integration of a mission before it is executed. The passion and attention to detail of the flight control team members, who are always ready to step up when things do not go well, is a hallmark of NASA human spaceflight operations. With tremendous support from the ISS program office and engineering community, the flight control team has made the International Space Station and the programs before it a success.
