EVA Technology Collaboration Workshop Welcome! Chris Hansen EVA Office, Manager NASA / Johnson Space Center 1
NASA Exploration Goals NASA is working hard to send humans to an asteroid by 2025 and Mars in the 2030s. The powerful new Space Launch System rocket and the Orion spacecraft will travel into deep space, building on our decades of robotic Mars exploration, lessons learned on the International Space Station, and groundbreaking new technologies. (http://www.nasa.gov/topics/journeytomars/index.html) EVA systems will obviously play a major role as a critical destination system for any future human exploration mission EVA systems will rely heavily on the lessons learned operating on ISS and the technology development progressing on: Spacesuits EVA Tools Vehicle Interfaces (e.g. airlock interfaces) Operations & Training EVA 36: Jeff Williams Expedition 48, 8/19/2016
EVA Vision / Workshop Goals EVA Vision Achieve safe, affordable, and effective EVA capabilities that enhance the human experience as we explore beyond Earth Goal of this Workshop Provide a forum where NASA and EVA external affiliates can come together and discuss promising advancements in EVA applicable technologies and operations. Share (at a high level) EVA technology development accomplishments and plans between NASA and external community Provides opportunity for external inputs into NASA s perception of gaps, needs, and portfolios to support future exploration missions Establish as an annual event so we will be looking for your feedback
EVA Innovation and Inclusion EVA community is fostering and enhancing a culture of inclusion and innovation NASA Internal: EVA Office is committed towards developing an integrated EVA strategy for the agency and enhancing communication internally Industry/Academia: Improve communication of needs and accomplishments to all parties interested in EVA Utilize face to face forums to enhance communication today! Support conference attendance and paper submissions Make EVA technology plans and accomplishments available to a wider audience EVA.NASA.GOV site was recently opened up and available to NASA contractors with VPN access Goal is to further expand on the data library and availability of this site Media / Press / General Public Improve availability of materials to support outreach and education events Maintain current and relevant data on public websites Suit Up Website established for 50th year of EVA https://www.nasa.gov/suitup Use / Maintain other NASA public websites as appropriate (https://techport.nasa.gov/home) Legislative / Independent Audits: Improve responsiveness to actions and queries
