1 International Space Station: Investing in Humanity s Future Synergy Through Policy: Giving Freedom to ISS Ian Dawson idawson.ua@gmail ua@gmail.com ASTE 527 December 15, 2009

2 Current US ISS Policy NASA is the primary operator of the International Space Station's (ISS) US resources With small exceptions, all operations, management, and science/technology is funneled through NASA Dwindling resources, politics, and archaic policy is hurting NASA and its ISS facilities

3 Examples for ISS' Future United States Antarctic Program - Scott-Amundsen Station - McMurdo Station Lawrence-Berkeley / University of California Photo Government Owned- Contractor Operated - Lawrence-Berkeley - Los Alamos NSF/USAP Photo

4 Concept Introduction Overhaul how NASA supports ISS Operations & Management Science & Technology

5 Operations & Management ISS operations and management activities are removed from NASA's full charge A consortium of private sector organizations bid on activities in which they are interested Handled similarly to Commercial Orbital Transportation program Each contractor has chair on Operations & Management board Develops synergy and maintains progress towards achieving high-level objectives

6 Operations & Management Tasks ISS 'Researchnaut' Training Examples of O&M tasks: Focus on providing researchers opportunities for short-term stays on-board while running their projects Cargo/Crew Logistics Maintenance Outreach Crew Health & Well-being Communications Develop launch solutions for quickly and safely moving cargo and crew members to and from ISS Develop and plan maintenance solutions to keep ISS' facilities in safe operating condition Work with educational groups and commercial enterprises to highlight ISS' achievements Monitor crew health and develop individual health plans to keep crew healthy during their stay on-board Monitor data up/down-links and distribute data accordingly

7 Operations & Management Board also consists of NASA representation Provides high-level policy and guidance Provides link between contractors, ISS member nations, and US Space Policy Launch Services ISS Visitor Training Communications NASA Outreach Maintenance

8 Science & Technology ISS is nothing without its on-board research potential NASA currently handles all aspects of on- board research Potential exists for political interference with selection of projects Project's womb-to-tomb timeline excessive

9 Science & Technology Council Membership consists of eminent individuals in space industry and academic institutions Led by NASA's Space Operations Mission Directorate Meets to approve and develop projects Council may make financial grants Coordinates with ISS O&M board to schedule and implement projects Feeder contractors solicit and evaluate proposals before sending on to council

10 Science & Technology NASA maintains presence as high-level policy- maker and provide guidance Proposals Feeder Contractors O&M Board Science & Technology Council NASA

11 Concept Implementation Tasks can be divided piecemeal and opened for bidding Lumping all into one risks a rocky transition Bidding and transition takes place prior to end of current ISS budget Slow decline in NASA overhead utilization Resources can be transferred to Constellation, etc. Transition allows companies to be tailor- made for the task bid on

12 Beyond Implementation Consortium and Operations & Management Board can be formed into a Limited Liability Corp. This allows for greater synergy between contractors, and reduced oversight required by NASA Space industry becomes larger with more innovation and lower costs Will pay dividends to NASA, ESA, etc. on future space projects

13 Conclusions This policy would reduce NASA's financial burden devoted to ISS Structure can be used to support adding new international partners Other ISS member countries may follow suit, creating a larger international space industry ISS is freed to be fully utilized to its scientific potential
