Space SIG General Meeting
December, 2015
Welcome
2016 Space Blitz
• What is It?• Why Go?• Event Logistics
What is It?
• An alliance of pro-space nonprofit societies – Space Exploration Alliance
• NSBE is the only member representing the interests of the Black community
• An annual visit to members of Congress• Participants organized into small teams• Each team assigned a schedule of appointments
– May include Senators and Congressmen, the norm is to meet with staffers
• Training/orientation session the day before
Why Go?
• Voting is NOT enough• A person who simply votes might as well have stayed at home• Need to be an active constituent• Even non-US citizens can visit Washington and meet with
members of Congress• Legislators need to see your face and hear your passion• Numerous Black jobs lost during cancellation of Constellation,
yet minimal Black advocacy – need to show space is important to us
Event Logistics
• Airfare, hotel, travel is all on your own• Federal employees MUST be on annual leave status
and may not wear any government insignia• All persons have a legal right to participate
(including GS-scale Federal employees)• Must attend Sunday training session• May attend half days or one day for
Monday/Tuesday with advance notification
Event Logistics
• February 21-23, 2016 (Sunday – Tuesday)• Minors must EACH be accompanied by chaperone• Early bird registration (deadline December 31)
– $25 Adult, $15 Student (increases to $40 and $25 Jan 1)– Registration link:

2016 Space Leadership Conference
• What is it?• Who should attend?• Conference
Logistics
What is It?
• Annual planning for upcoming Space SIG technical projects, outreach, and conferences
– Near-term and Mid-range goals– Schedule/Deliverables– Recruiting– Publicity– Government, Industry, and Academia partnerships
• 2016 focus on partnership with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University
Who Should Attend?• Any person who wants to see any aspect of the
Space SIG succeed– Board members– Conference planning team members– Technical project team members– JEDI Council members– Non-members interested in joining– Faculty looking for Space SIG research partnerships
Conference Logistics
• April 14-17, 2016• Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, Daytona Beach, FL• Early registration is important
– Early Bird discount ends December 31– Event planners need to know who will attend – conference
content is customized based on planning team presence• Conference website: http://leadership.nsbe-space.org
– Registration open now ($65 Early Bird through December 31)
Upcoming Space SIG Activities2016 Aerospace Systems Conference
• August 24-27, 2016• Renaissance Arlington Capital View Hotel (next to DCA)• Awards Nominations
– Now open - http://asc.nsbe-space.org/2016/events/awards• Celestial Torch Awards• 21st Century Trailblazers in Aerospace• Technical Paper Awards
• Call for Papers– Full paper drafts due January 28– http://asc.nsbe-space.org/2016/technical-program
Primary Meeting Topic
Arusha Long Range RoverMedical Workstation
Project Arusha
Arusha Long Range Rover Crew Cabin• 10.01 meter (32.85 ft) length• 3 meter (9.84 ft) diameter• Sole living environment for 6 crew for 30 days
Arusha Innovation
• Must be able to provide both medical care and maintenance repairs simultaneously
• Any portion of a crew member’s body (or multiple portions) may require medical treatment– Requires caregiver to have access to all parts of the
patient’s body• In prior NASA studies has resulted in requirement for caregiver
to be able to walk around all sides of the surgical table• Not possible in Arusha rover due to small size of vehicle (would
intrude in maintenance work volume)
Project ArushaDeployable Medical
WorkstationPreliminary Workstation Concept
Arusha Innovation
New idea – since cannot bring caregiver to patient, must bring patient to caregiver: Robotic Surgical Table
• Patient treatment table nominally stowed beneath floor and raised for use
• Table is a robot that is articulated to reposition patient as needed to present area of injury to caregiver– Table is subdivided into articulating sections
Outline• Need
• Constraints
• Concept
• Details
• Plan
Need
• Surgical table that fits in a small volume and leaves enough space for operators to access all areas of the patient
• Max Length 80in– Upper Body min 35in
• Min Length 57in– Upper Body max 27in
• Max Width 26in• Min Width 18in

Concepts• Considerations
• Passive system may be most feasible considering the packing and energy-safety requirements that may exist
• Passive system may reduce the risk of failure or safety hazards during operation.
• Active system may offer more instantaneous control
• Active system can be equipped with fault system/e-stops for emergency situations

Plan
• Overall goal is to create a low fidelity system that will identify crew members and auto select medical workstation configuration accordingly
1. Develop the passive bed
2. Develop the active bed
• Future Capabilities– monitor crew medical data: EKG
information, body temperature, and etc.
– Auto-configure its size-to-person based on sensor profiling data

Full Table
• Robotic Surgical Table must accommodate 1st percentile Japanese female to 99th percentile American male in all relevant anthropometric dimensions– Significant range in dimension – will move relative
positioning of joints• Each element must be capable of expanding
or contracting in length and width to meet anthropometry requirement– Surgical table will literally be a different size when
different crew members use it

• Each element will also have to either move or hold a fixed position relative to one another
• Requires additional research beyond current effort
