Book Understanding Skill in EVA Mass Handling

Download or read book Understanding Skill in EVA Mass Handling written by P. Vernon McDonald and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The empirical investigation of extravehicular activity (EVA) mass handling conducted on NASA's Precision Air-Bearing Floor led to a Phase I SBIR from JSC. The purpose of the SBIR was to design an innovative system for evaluating space suit mobility and stability in conditions that simulate EVA on the surface of the Moon or Mars. The approach used to satisfy the Phase I objectives was based on a structured methodology for the development of human-systems technology. Accordingly the project was broken down into a number of tasks and subtasks. In sequence, the major tasks were: (1) identify missions ans tasks that will involve EVA and resultingly mobility requirements in the near and long term; (2) assess possible methods for evaluating mobility of space suits during field-based EVA tests; (3) identify requirements for behaviorial evaluation by interacting with NASA stakeholders; (4) identify necessary and sufficient technology for implementation of a mobility evaluation system; (5) prioritize and select technology solutions. The work conducted in these tasks is described in this final volume of the series on EVA mass handling. While prior volumes in the series focus on novel data-analytic techniques, this volume addresses technology that is necessary for minimally intrusive data collection and near-real-time data analysis and display.

Book Understanding Skill in Eva Mass Handling  Volume 3  Empirical Developments and Conclusions

Download or read book Understanding Skill in Eva Mass Handling Volume 3 Empirical Developments and Conclusions written by National Aeronautics and Space Adm Nasa and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-10-24 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Key attributes of skilled mass handling were identified through an examination of lessons learned by the extravehicular activity operational community. These qualities were translated into measurable quantities. The operational validity of the ground-based investigation was improved by building a device that increased the degrees of freedom of extravehicular mobility unit motion on the Precision Air-Bearing Floor. The results revealed subtle patterns of interaction between motions of an orbital replacement unit mockup and mass handler that should be important for effective performance on orbit. The investigation also demonstrated that such patterns can be measured with a variety of common instruments and under imperfect conditions of observation. Riccio, Gary E. and McDonald, P.

Book Understanding Skill in Eva Mass Handling  Volume 1  Theoretical and Operational Foundations

Download or read book Understanding Skill in Eva Mass Handling Volume 1 Theoretical and Operational Foundations written by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-15 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the theoretical and operational foundations for our analysis of skill in extravehicular mass handling. A review of our research on postural control, human-environment interactions, and exploratory behavior in skill acquisition is used to motivate our analysis. This scientific material is presented within the context of operationally valid issues concerning extravehicular mass handling. We describe the development of meaningful empirical measures that are relevant to a special class of nested control systems: manual interactions between an individual and the substantial environment. These measures are incorporated into a unique empirical protocol implemented on NASA's principal mass handling simulator, the precision air-bearing floor, in order to evaluate skill in extravehicular mass handling. We discuss the components of such skill with reference to the relationship between postural configuration and controllability of an orbital replacement unit, the relationship between orbital replacement unit control and postural stability, the relationship between antecedent and consequent movements of an orbital replacement unit, and the relationship between antecedent and consequent postural movements. Finally, we describe our expectations regarding the operational relevance of the empirical results as it pertains to extravehicular activity tools, training, monitoring, and planning.

Book Understanding Skill in Eva Mass Handling  Volume 2  Empirical Investigation

Download or read book Understanding Skill in Eva Mass Handling Volume 2 Empirical Investigation written by National Aeronautics and Space Adm Nasa and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-10-15 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this report we describe the details of our empirical protocol effort investigating skill in extravehicular mass handling using NASA's principal mass handling simulator, the precision air bearing floor. Contents of this report include a description of the necessary modifications to the mass handling simulator; choice of task, and the description of an operationally relevant protocol. Our independent variables are presented in the context of the specific operational issues they were designed to simulate. The explanation of our dependent variables focuses on the specific data processing procedures used to transform data from common laboratory instruments into measures that are relevant to a special class of nested control systems (discussed in Volume 1): manual interactions between an individual and the substantial environment. The data reduction is explained in the context of the theoretical foundation described in Volume 1. Finally as a preface to the presentation of the empirical data in Volume 3 of this report series, a set of detailed hypotheses is presented.
