Monitoring Immune System Function and Reactivation of Latent Viruses in the Artificial Gravity Pilot Study

Numerous studies have indicated that dysregulation of the immune system occurs during or after spaceflight. Using 21 day -6 degrees head-down tilt bed rest as a spaceflight analog, this study describes the effects of artificial gravity (AG) as a daily countermeasure on immunity, stress and reactivation of clinically important latent herpes viruses. The specific aims were to evaluate psychological and physiological stress, to determine the status of the immune system, and to quantify reactivation of latent herpes viruses. Blood, saliva, and urine samples were collected from each participating subject at different times throughout the study. An immune assessment was performed on all treatment and control subjects that consisted of a comprehensive peripheral immunophenotype analysis, intracellular cytokine profiles and a measurement of T cell function. The treatment group displayed no differences throughout the course of the study with regards to peripheral leukocyte distribution, cytokine production or T cell function. Shedding of Epstein barr virus (EBV), Cytomegalovirus (CMV), and Varicella zoster virus (VZV) was quantified by real time PCR in saliva and urine samples, respectively. There was no significant difference in CMV DNA in the treatment group as compared to the control group. EBV and VZV on the other hand showed a mild reactivation during the study. There were no significant differences in cortisol between the control and treatment groups. In addition, no significant differences between antiviral antibody titers (EBV-VCA, -EA, -EBNA, CMV) or tetramer-positive (EBV, CMV) were found between the two groups. EBV DNA copies in blood were typically undetectable but never exceeded 1,500 copies per 106 PBMCs. Overall, these data indicate that the artificial gravity countermeasure and the 21 day head-down tilt bed rest regimen had no observable adverse effect on immune function.

Selective CO 2 Reduction by Bis(bipyridine)cobalt(II) Catalysts: The Role of Pendant Pyridine as a Proton Acceptor

Electrochemical CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR) catalyzed by molecular earth-abundant metal catalysts is a promising strategy to convert CO 2 into value-added products. One recent trend in this field has been focusing on the rational design of catalysts by incorporating redox-active ligands and modifying the secondary coordination sphere (SCS) to achieve efficient and selective CO 2 RR. Herein, we report a series of Co bis­(bipyridine) catalysts featuring various dangling groups, such as pyridine, tertiary amine, or butyl, in the secondary coordination sphere (Co-PyMe, Co-Py, Co-PrN, and Co-Bu). Efficient, selective electrocatalytic CO 2 RR was achieved by the complexes after the generation of triply reduced intermediate consisting of a Co I center and a dianionic ligand, producing CO as the major product and trace amount of H 2 . Strong correlations with the identity of dangling groups and turnover frequency (TOF) have been observed, in which Co-PyMe displayed the highest TOF (1086 s –1 in MeCN/H 2 O). Mechanistic studies indicated that the acceleration of CO 2 RR with pyridine-functionalized catalysts were derived from the protonation of pyridine dangling groups which participated as weak acids in the H-bonding network with exogenous proton sources, stabilizing CO 2 -bound intermediates and facilitating proton transfer. In addition, precatalytic CO 2 binding and activation at the third reduction (−2.1 V) was revealed by CV and SEC-IR studies. The resultant doubly reduced CO-bound species acted as a trapping state which inhibited CO 2 RR electrocatalysis. Regeneration of active species was accessed via reductive dissociation of CO at a more negative potential. In conclusion, this study highlights the combined effects of redox-active ligands and pyridine/pyridinium as SCS groups on CO 2 RR catalysis and provides design principles for future development of CO 2 RR catalysts utilizing pyridine/pyridiniums as SCS functional groups to fine-tune the catalytic activity.

Advanced CLIPS capabilities

The C Language Integrated Production System (CLIPS) is a forward chaining rule based language developed by NASA. CLIPS was designed specifically to provide high portability, low cost, and easy integration with external systems. The current release of CLIPS, version 4.3, is being used by over 2500 users throughout the public and private community. The primary addition to the next release of CLIPS, version 5.0, will be the CLIPS Object Oriented Language (COOL). The major capabilities of COOL are: class definition with multiple inheritance and no restrictions on the number, types, or cardinality of slots; message passing which allows procedural code bundled with an object to be executed; and query functions which allow groups of instances to be examined and manipulated. In addition to COOL, numerous other enhancements were added to CLIPS including: generic functions (which allow different pieces of procedural code to be executed depending upon the types or classes of the arguments); integer and double precision data type support; multiple conflict resolution strategies; global variables; logical dependencies; type checking on facts; full ANSI compiler support; and incremental reset for rules.

Proceedings and findings of the 1976 Workshop on Ride Quality

The workshop was organized around the study of the three basic transfer functions required to evaluate and/or predict passenger acceptance of transportation systems: These are the vehicle, passenger, and value transfer functions. For the purpose of establishing working groups corresponding to the basic transfer functions, it was decided to split the vehicle transfer function into two distinct groups studying surface vehicles and air/marine vehicles, respectively.

Describing functional requirements for knowledge sharing communities

Human collaboration in distributed knowledge sharing groups depends on the functionality of information and communication technologies (ICT) to support performance. Since many of these dynamic environments are constrained by time limits, knowledge must be shared efficiently by adapting the level of information detail to the specific situation. This paper focuses on the process of knowledge and context sharing with and without mediation by ICT, as well as issues to be resolved when determining appropriate ICT channels. Both technology-rich and non-technology examples are discussed.

Efficiency Management in Spaceflight Systems

Efficiency in spaceflight is often approached as “faster, better, cheaper – pick two”. The high levels of performance and reliability required for each mission suggest that planners can only control for two of the three. True efficiency comes by optimizing a system across all three parameters. The functional processes of spaceflight become technical requirements on three operational groups during mission planning: payload, vehicle, and launch operations. Given the interrelationships among the functions performed by the operational groups, optimizing function resources from one operational group to the others affects the efficiency of those groups and therefore the mission overall. This paper helps outline this framework and creates a context in which to understand the effects of resource trades on the overall system, improving the efficiency of the operational groups and the mission as a whole. This allows insight into and optimization of the controlling factors earlier in the mission planning stage.

Distinguishing Leptothrix and Sphaerotilus genera by an integrated genomic-phenotypic analysis supported by new Leptothrix genomes

The Sphaerotilus-Leptothrix group of bacteria includes one of the first described microorganisms, Leptothrix ochracea, an uncultured type strain, plus isolates of Leptothrix and Sphaerotilus. This group is unified by the ability to form sheaths and oxidize metals, although L. ochracea exhibits obvious ecological, morphological, and functional differences from the rest of Sphaerotilus-Leptothrix. Recently, there have been calls to combine the group into one genus, Sphaerotilus; however, these studies lacked adequate genomic representation of L. ochracea. Here, we present a comprehensive comparative genomic analysis of the Sphaerotilus-Leptothrix group, including expanded representation of L. ochracea, a closely related novel species, Leptothrix toolikensis, and two new isolates (Leptothrix mechoopdaensis). Analysis of 38 genomes resolves three phylogenetic and functional groups: the ochracea-type Leptothrix (Group 1), the mobilis-type Leptothrix (Group 2), and Sphaerotilus (Group 3). Group 1 genomes form a separate genus based on average nucleotide identity and alignment fraction. The genomes clearly diverge from the rest of Sphaerotilus-Leptothrix in phylogeny, size, and metabolic potential. Group 1 genomes are much smaller (2.59–3.04 Mb) than those of Groups 2 (4.55–6.06 Mb) and 3 (3.94–5.07 Mb), while encoding more metal oxidases and fewer carbohydrate-active enzymes. Group 2 clusters with Group 3 phylogenetically and is similar in organic carbon metabolisms but maintains more metal oxidation genes. Group 2 members lack homogeneity in phenotype and genotype, suggesting that additional isolates and genomes are needed for confident classification. However, Group 1 genomes (L. ochracea and L. toolikensis) show clear divergence, precluding their inclusion in Sphaerotilus and supporting the retention of the genus Leptothrix.

Chemical and physical studies of chondrites. X - Cathodoluminescence and phase composition studies of metamorphism and nebular processes in chondrules of type 3 ordinary chondrites

The cathodoluminescence (CL) characteristics of eight type-3 ordinary chondrites and one L5 chondrite were investigated with particular emphasis on detailed compositions of the relevant phases in four of these chondrites: Semarkona (type-3.0); Krymka (3.1); Allan Hills A77214 (3.5); and Dhajala (3.8). By sorting the chondrules into eight groups according to the CL of mesostasis and to certain compositional criteria and by determining the number of chondrules in these groups as a function of petrological type, it was possible to deduce genetic/evolutionary sequences of the chondrules. It is shown that there are major compositional differences in chondrules, which account for their CL properties and the chondrule groups.

Multispectral determination of soil moisture

The edited Guymon soil moisture data collected on August 2, 5, 14, 17, 1978 were grouped into four field cover types for statistical analysis. These are the bare, milo with rows parallel to field of view, milo with rows perpendicular to field of view and alfalfa cover groups. There are 37, 22, 24 and 14 observations respectively in each group for each sensor channel and each soil moisture layer. A subset of these data called the 'five cover set' (VEG5) limited the scatterometer data to the 15 deg look angle and was used to determine discriminant functions and combined group regressions.

Comparing the Effects of Side Chain Dipole–Dipole Interactions and Hydrogen Bonding on the Mechanical and Electrical Properties of Poly(3-hexylthiophene)

Poly(3-alkylthiophenes) are simple conjugated polymers with good electrical properties, but tend to be brittle, limiting their application. Here, we investigate how side chain modifications can improve their toughness without compromising their charge transport. Specifically, we compare a weak dipole–dipole interaction of ester groups with a stronger hydrogen-bonding interaction of the hydroxyl groups. Two copolymers with targeted 5 and 10 mol % ester-functionalized side chains were synthesized and hydrolyzed in the solid state to introduce hydroxyl groups. Both hydrolyzed polymers became insoluble in most organic solvents, providing a path to layer-by-layer solution processing. All polymers’ optical, thermal, structural, electrical, and mechanical properties were investigated. Optical spectroscopy revealed that functionalization at these low levels did not significantly affect aggregation or π–π stacking. Differential scanning calorimetry indicated reduced crystallinity in the functionalized copolymers compared to that of P3HT. Grazing-incidence wide-angle X-ray diffraction data showed that functionalization led to an increase in lamellar spacing without altering molecular orientation or π–π stacking. Mechanical testing highlighted that at the lower functionalization level, both ester and hydroxyl groups similarly enhanced toughness, suggesting that disorder, rather than the specific nature of the functional group, was responsible for these improvements. At the higher functionalization level, hydroxyl groups significantly increased the elastic modulus while also negatively impacting charge carrier mobility. This study suggests that with stronger hydrogen-bonding groups, only very small amounts can improve P3HT’s toughness. For a wider tunable range, it may be a better strategy to use weak interactions such as dipole–dipole interactions of ester groups.

Post-Modification of Crystalline Peptoid Nanomembranes with Active Nanoparticles for Efficient Photooxidation of a Mustard Gas Simulant

Peptoids (or poly-N-substituted glycines) hold immense potential for assembling into hierarchically structured functional materials via controlled molecular interactions. To create self-assembled materials with tailored functionalities, peptoid sequences are often conjugated with reactive or recognition motifs to enable applications including specific binding, biomimetic catalysis, and fluorescence imaging. However, the direct integration of bulky functional motifs into peptoid sequences can disrupt assembly processes and structural outcomes. Herein, we present a post-modification strategy for functionalizing pre-formed 2D crystalline assemblies. Through introducing clickable active sites, such as azide, alkyne, or thiol groups into a peptoid sequence, site-specific conjugation is achieved post-assembly via efficient “click”-type reactions. This strategy enables the ordered alignment of functional groups and gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) on the surface of 2D peptoid nanomaterials with controlled density, while preserving their high crystallinity and structural integrity. Furthermore, we demonstrated that nanomembranes functionalized with both Au NPs and porphyrins enhance the efficiency and selectivity of the photooxidation of 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide, a simulant of sulfur mustard. This innovative strategy lays the groundwork for advancing peptoid-based functional materials across diverse applications, from catalysis to biomedicine.

Internal Architecture of the Common Habitat

The core stage liquid oxygen tank of the Space Launch System can be manufactured as a habitat instead of as a propellant tank, with a common design such that it is equally suitable for use in 0g, 1/6g, 3/8g, 1g, or variable artificial gravity. This Common Habitat can be the central element of a human spaceflight architecture that encompasses the Moon, Mars, and other destinations within the inner solar system. The Common Habitat is specifically used within an alternative architecture study (that is not part of the current NASA baseline) as the core habitation element within a Lunar Basecamp, Mars Basecamp, and the Deep Space Exploration Vehicle. The Common Habitat internal architecture applies a design philosophy to separate crew functions according to deck. The lower deck is reserved for private functions. It includes eight private crew quarters and four waste and hygiene clusters – each with a private waste management compartment, private full body hygiene compartment, and foyer/clothes changing area. The mid deck is primarily allocated to mission-related working functions. It includes an exercise facility, fabrication / maintenance / repair facility, physical science laboratory (physics, geology, and astronomy), and life science laboratory (biology and human research). The mid deck also has four external hatches, clocked one every 90 degrees, centered on the vehicle vertical centerline. Each hatch has a 60-inch tall by 40-inch wide opening with the mid deck floor 16 inches below the bottom lip of the hatch opening. The upper deck is primarily allocated to group or social functions. It includes a large galley, wardroom with projector and display screen, plant growth chambers, bulk stowage, command and control station, medical facility, hygiene compartment, and vehicle subsystems. A Vertical Translation System, based in part on results from a GrabCAD public challenge, enables crew and equipment traverse between habitat decks in 0g, 1/6g, 3/8g, and 1g. A 40-inch by 60-inch vertical translation corridor ensures that anything that can fit through the external hatches can also be moved from deck to deck. The system includes three component systems: a deploying floor to safety barrier system that folds down to become a traversable floor when vertical translation is not in use and deploys to become a safety barrier during vertical translations; a folding ladder that stows in the ceiling when not in use; and an elevator platform that can attach to the ladder for cargo or incapacitated crew member transport. This system is complemented by a Horizontal Translation System, also based in part on the same GrabCAD challenge, provides for horizontal crew translation in microgravity but requires no vehicle reconfiguration for fractional or whole gravity operation. It relies primarily on gecko-inspired grippers, originally developed at Stanford and NASA JPL, attached to footwear to enable crew to emulate walking. Some handrails are also strategically placed throughout the Common Habitat to aid translation in both gravity and microgravity environments.

Orbital transfer vehicle concept definition and system analysis study, 1985. Volume 5: Work breakdown structure and dictionary

To establish consistency and visibility within the Orbital Transfer Vehicle (OTV) program, a preliminary work breakdown structure (WBS) and dictionary were developed. The dictionary contains definitions of terms to be used in conjunction with the WBS so that a clear understanding of the content of the hardware, function, and cost elements may be established. The OTV WBS matrix is a two-dimensional structure which shows the interrelationship of these dimensions: the hardware elements dimension and the phase and function dimension. The dimension of time cannot be shown graphically, but must be considered. Each cost entry varies with time so that it is necessary to know these cost values by year for budget planning and approval as well as for establishing cost streams for discounting purposes in the economic analysis. While a multiple dimensional approach may at first appear complex, it actually provides benefits which outweigh any concern. This structural interrelationship provides the capability to view and analyze the OTV costs from a number of different financial and management aspects. Cost may be summed by hardware groupings, phases, or functions. The WBS may be used in a number of dimensional or single listing format applications.

ISS Payload Operations Training Throughout the COVID-19 Pandemic: Impacts, Opportunities and Solutions

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic brought a dramatic and rapid transformation to almost every aspect of humanity. The world’s space agencies and their missions were not immune to the wide-sweeping changes. One discipline principally affected was mission operations and the various groups supporting that function. Mission support teams, especially for complex and crewed missions like the International Space Station (ISS) were forced to rethink how and where control center staff performed their vital work. Operations training – an essential element to mission ops, had unique hurdles to overcome. Operations training is responsible for preparing astronaut crews for their missions, training and certifying flight controllers, as well as ensuring that new team members are ready to join their colleagues. Every element of training was impacted during the pandemic. From orientation and introductory classes for new controllers, simulations, and advanced lessons, On the Job Training (OJT) and final evaluations; all aspects faced challenges. Trainers at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama were forced to become more efficient with trainees and resources to continue supporting ISS payload operations. The pandemic arrived in the USA in March 2020. Immediately, NASA mandated that the support for ISS real-time operations was critical. As a result, physical access to key facilities was restricted. Trainers and trainees had to quickly shift to 100% remote learning. In the short term, this was not a problem. However, instructors discovered lessons they were accustomed to delivering in a classroom environment often did not translate to remote teaching. Another hurdle to operations training was the mandate that all simulations could only be held remotely. The logistics of even small simulations proved to be challenging due to Information Technology (IT) restrictions and public internet limitations. With simulations essentially halted, as well as the restrictions on most OJT, trainees were essentially stopped in their advancement towards certification. Once limitations were identified, trainers prioritized new options. Transitioning to all electronic learning materials was a relatively easy fix. Teaching to large groups took additional shifts in the training paradigm. Methods for preparing astronauts for their missions were revised. Simulation supervisors found efficient techniques to provide realistic training experiences. Communication and coordination with management was essential. In every case, the payload operations instructors found novel solutions to all functions listed. This paper discusses the factors and solutions payloads operations trainers found to keep scientific research on the ISS flying forward to mission success.

Custom Integration of Multiple Medical Functionalities

INTRODUCTION: Previous spaceflight experience and results from probabilistic risk assessment of spaceflight medical risk have highlighted the need for vital sign measurements, medical scopes, and clinical imaging tools for managing medical conditions during spaceflight. The Human Research Program’s Exploration Medical Capability (ExMC) Element and the Mars Campaign Office’s Exploration Medical Integrated Product Team (XMIPT) have performed ground-based evaluations of two Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) Multi-functional Integrated Medical (MIM) devices, which integrate various medical capabilities together in one device. The key findings from these evaluations are presented in a complementary presentation, leaving this presentation to focus on forward recommendations for customized integration of multiple medical functionalities. KEY COMPONENTS: The key features of a custom integration of multiple medical functionalities includes devices and capabilities that optimally reduce medical risk. The COTS MIM devices incorporated functionality for best supporting Earth-based, emergency, pre-hospital care. Our custom integration will use probabilistic risk assessment tools, such as the Medical Extensible Dynamic Probabilistic Risk Assessment Tool (MEDPRAT), to determine the optimal functionality to include based on medical risk minimization. An additional feature of custom integration includes the ability to adapt to different requirements within different vehicles and/or missions. The COTS MIM devices store data in patient specific records, however, the format of the records is not modifiable, and data are not easily transferred from the MIM device to a central data architecture outside of the manufacturer’s established system. Our concept for custom integration will use devices that have an open application programming interface, which can easily connect to independent data architectures and third-party visualization software. The ultrasound capabilities included within the COTS MIM devices did not satisfy many of the Artemis Research and Operations Working Group’s ultrasound functional needs, and therefore, incorporation of higher quality ultrasound capabilities within a customized integration will be beneficial. The COTS MIM devices included minimal procedural guidance and clinical decision support tools. Supplemental tools of this type would need to be supplied along with the COTS MIM devices if they were to be used operationally, so another advantage of customization is the ability to integrate these support tools along with the medical functionality, for a more streamlined user experience. CONCLUSION: Investigation of a customized integration of medical functionality provides a method for further understanding the needs of a long-term exploration spaceflight medical system. The crew members of these exploration missions will need to operate more and more independently from Earth-based ground support. Therefore, having an optimized, streamlined medical system, which contains the functionality and supporting information needed, while remaining within mission and vehicle constraints, will help to maintain crew health and performance, which is necessary for achieving high levels of mission success.
