Abstract

This paper describes the application of an automated planning and scheduling system to the NASA Earth Orbiting 1 (EO-1) mission. The planning system, ASPEN, is used to autonomously schedule the daily activites of the satellite. The satellite and operations constraints are encoded within a software model used by the planner.

Employing Automated Experimental Evolution to Understand Survival Strategies of Lab-Grown Extremophiles

Experimental evolution (EE) exposes microbes to intentional stressors to improve resistance through artificial mutation. The resulting changes to metabolic pathways, protein structure, and genetic sequences, along with traditional genetic engineering tools, to can help understand the mechanisms of improved tolerance. An automated experimental set-up -- the Automated Adaptive Directed Evolution Chamber (AADEC) -- with minimal scope for human interference was developed at NASA Ames. A second- generation device integrating more real-time biochemical sensors has been developed recently. Added sensors include pH for indicating metabolic products, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) for indicating available/consumed metabolic energy, dissolved oxygen (DO) for indicating aerobic/anaerobic growth cycles, and electrical conductivity (EC) as an additional indicator of metabolic products. With four additional sensors, the system is biochemically more informative in real-time. More importantly, each sensor parameter can be used as a selection pressure, individually or in combination with others, to artificially create and control inhospitable environments analogous to extremophile habitats for microbial growth in the lab. Potential stressors to be added in the future include thermal, reactive oxygen species, metal-ion concentrations, and varying nutrient availability.

Automated Sequence Processor: Something Old, Something New

High productivity required for operations teams to meet schedules Risk must be minimized. Scripting used to automate processes. Scripts perform essential operations functions. Automated Sequence Processor (ASP) was a grass-roots task built to automate the command uplink process System engineering task for ASP revitalization organized. ASP is a set of approximately 200 scripts written in Perl, C Shell, AWK and other scripting languages.. ASP processes/checks/packages non-interactive commands automatically.. Non-interactive commands are guaranteed to be safe and have been checked by hardware or software simulators.. ASP checks that commands are non-interactive.. ASP processes the commands through a command. simulator and then packages them if there are no errors.. ASP must be active 24 hours/day, 7 days/week..
