National Aeronautics and Space Administration Exploration EVA Workshop

National Aeronautics and Space Administration Exploration EVA Workshop 2020 Introduction, Objectives & Status February 18, 2020 1

Welcome! • Our goal with every workshop is to communicate! • The last time gathered the EVA community was in July of 2019 – We held a later-than-expected event (due to the 2019 furlough) – Shortened, 1 day format, due to venue scheduling issues – Agenda was a mix of data download and collaborative discussions • This year we are resuming with the lengthier ~3 day format inviting NASA, Industry and academia into the same room – Enabling more detailed discussions and deep dives into issues/concerns affecting all stakeholders • We hope the next 3 days will be informative and helpful to the entire EVA community 2

Objectives of the 2020 EVA Exploration Workshop • Day 1: NASA view of the tactical and strategic landscape for Exploration EVA – Snapshot of many topics include EVA flight development, technologies & gaps, operations and science • Day 2: Workshop Attendee topics and Initial collaborative session – Attendees chance to own the session and address what’s on their mind • Day 3: Collaborative Sessions – NASA and Attendees will queue up various discussions – Deep dives and 2 way conversations on topics directly affecting exploration EVA operations and technologies • We really appreciate the feedback we receive, because of your comments we have … – – – A change of location! Added more time for networking and Q&A Single-track sessions Discounted student tickets Opportunities for industry / academia to suggest and own topics And more 3

Where we 6 months ago? • In July of 2019 NASAs exploration plans were quickly evolving and maturing – Space Policy directives issued by the President – Gateway program was just 7 months into existence • First element procurement had commenced • Program office not quite fully staffed at JSC – Lunar 2024 announced by administration in March of 2019, now dubbed Artemis • Lander BAA procurement had commenced – x. EMU “Demo” PDR had just kicked off – NASA Moon to Mars enterprise formally decided to use the existing x. EMU demo project to develop the Lunar suit • Project accelerated and scope pivoted to support Lunar operations and schedules 4

What’s happened in 6 months for Exploration EVA • Exploration EVA project is now a formally under the Gateway Program – x. EMU “ISS Demo” project has fully pivoted to a lunar suit project – Several other flight support, ground support and related projects have been initiated • Gateway Program has picked suppliers for the Power and Propulsion Element (PPE) and the initial Habitat/Logistics Module (HALO) – The PPE is at PDR milestone and the HALO module is approaching SDR – These 2 elements plus Logistic Modules complete “Phase 1” of the Gateway stack, enabling Lunar missions via Orion and Lunar Lander 5

What’s happened in 6 months for Exploration EVA • Human Lander Systems (HLS) is on the cusp of announcing multiple winners of the initial phase of the Appendix H BAA (~ 1 year study phase for a lunar lander) • x. EVA team is working closely with HLS program to integrate EVA systems – x. EVA team has drafted and baselined EVA-to-HLS IRD as well as an HLS version of the EVA compatibility document (drafts submitted with the HLS App. H BAA RFP) – Our team will work closely with Lander vendors to ensure the best system solution 6

What’s happened in 6 months for Exploration EVA • Continued collaboration between x. EVA Project and the ISS/EMU program – Spacesuit Evaporation Rejection Flight Experiment (SERFE) payload in work – CO 2 sensor development • Co-development of one sensor for both EMU and x. EMU – HD cameras (HECA) on orbit – x. EMU demonstration in 2023 (full EVA demonstration of 1 x. EMU) – Possible replacement of SPCE on ISS with hardware common to lunar lander SPCE 7

What’s happened in 6 months for Exploration EVA • Maturation of x. EMU design to PDR and initiation of several other hardware projects to support Lunar missions (ex. Tools) • Stabilization of requirements for x. EVA – Refinement of Lunar EVA Environments • Operations Concept development for Lunar • Pre-breathe protocol reference for lunar and testing • EVA Training assessment (people, facilities, hardware, …) • Extensive external relations and communication – OMB, ASAP, HQ, Cross Program communication 8

EVA Technology Development beyond Lunar 2024 • Maintaining a relevant knowledge and technology gap list – Several perceived Lunar mission gaps have now become tactical design issues and require resolution now (ex. dust mitigation) – However many other gaps are being identified as we learn more Lunar sustaining and Mars mission concepts – Joins us for a collaboration session on this topic (see latest gaps at nasa. gov/suitup) • Maintaining a pipeline of novel and mature technology development is important to us – We will hear updates on the EVA SBIR/STTR topics on Wednesday • We are continuing to engage academia with EVA relevant topics / needs – SUITs (Spacesuit User Interface Technologies for Students) – Micro. G NEx. T (Micro-G Neutral Buoyancy Experimental Design Teams) – Composite HUT development with the University of Delaware • Industry support for eventual production and sustainment of x. EVA capabilities – RFI released in October along with several documents relative to x. EMU development 9

Plans for the Next EVA Technology Workshop • We anticipate the next annual workshop to be held in February 2021 – Considering another 2 -3 day format with industry and/or academia leading and facilitating one of those days • If you were not on the direct invite, please send contact info to jsc-eva-explorationworkshop@mail. nasa. gov otherwise you can check: www. nasa. gov/suitup • Any questions? Thanks for your participation!! 10
