Overview Resource Constraints for Science on ISS
• General constraints (roughly in the order most likely to be limiting, post-assembly complete)¤ Upmass¤ Downmass¤ Crew time¤ Thermal¤ Facility throughput¤ Power¤ Data downlink
• Constraints unique to human research¤ Maintaining experimental
controls for multiple human subject experiments (some experiments with conflicting requirements cannot use the same crewmember as a subject), approximate limit is 6 experiments per subject
¤ Postflight baseline data collection during the 1st 7 days
¤ Limits on blood collections (volume, frequency)
¤ Informed consent requirements
2222
Program Planning to minimize Resource Constraints for Science on ISS
• Upmass¤ Planned upmass capabilities meet projected NASA requirements at current
budget levels (but not National Lab users or any additional NASA use)¤ CRS (Orbital, SpaceX) vehicles a key part of plan¤ Contingency planning to defer some maintenance activities if CRS vehicles
delayed to insure ongoing science¤ Additional CRS capability could be purchased to support a larger science
program than currently planned (budget based)• Downmass
¤ SpaceX vehicle will have downmass capability that fits projectedrequirements after Shuttle retirement
¤ Three on-orbit MELFI freezers (compared to originally planned single freezer) provides a storage capability that can insure continued life science experiments if there is a CRS delay. All freezers empty when last Shuttle undocks.
• Crew time¤ Six crew meets projected science requirements, possible to select significant
additional relatively automated science (National lab or additional NASA use)¤ ISS Program could increase to 7 crew with Orion (launch/ return vehicle for
4)• Thermal
¤ Occasional limitations during assembly on rack enablement due to life support and research hardware demands on Moderate Temperature Loop. Handled with research scheduling.
¤ Once Node 3 is onboard, the limitations are not projected to continue.
2323
Program Planning to minimize Resource Constraints for Science on ISS
• Facility throughput¤ MSG is currently the only facility projected to approach throughput
limitations. ¤ As crewtime becomes less limiting, we have more ability to move experiments
through MSG rapidly.¤ Some experiments require significant dwell time in the facility.
• Power¤ ISS power system can meet all pressurized facility requirements identified.¤ There is redundant capacity in the system at assembly complete.¤ Only major external facilities such as AMS have the potential to have power
demands requiring significant coordination. • Data downlink
¤ Current capability of 150mps being upgraded to 300mps. EXPRESS export data rate is limited to 1.8mps and we are investigating upgrading to 100mps.
¤ Only projected data downlink limitations are for planned external HDTV and possible external remote sensing payloads which have High-rate Data Loop requirements. Scheduling solutions solve this problem for projected payloads.
• Human subjects constraints¤ Shared data collection with medical operations¤ Multilateral planning group works to optimize use of subjects by identifying
suites of compatible experiments, and reworking plans following informed consent if needed
¤ ISS Program continues to discuss full USOS access to Russian crews as subjects (however, these crews are well-utilized for Russian and collaborative Russian-international investigations)
