Clean Cities and Communities Partnership 2024 Activity Report

Clean Cities and Communities (CC&C) is a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) partnership that fosters collaboration and innovation to advance transportation energy choices nationwide. More than 75 DOE-designated CC&C coalitions work in urban, suburban, and rural areas to deliver objective technical expertise based on a unique understanding of local markets. As partners with DOE's Transportation Technologies Office (TTO), coalitions build bridges between national priorities and local needs to create transportation energy systems that are affordable, reliable, and secure. Together, coalitions create compounding impacts nationwide that support locally driven energy choices and benefit regional economic development and job growth. This report summarizes the success and impact of partnership activities based on data and information provided in their annual reports.

Kibo Robot Programming Challenge Final Activity Report

On October 8th, 2020 the Kibo Robot Programming Challenge (RPC) Finals Event took place. Student teams from Australia, Indonesia, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and UAE were the finalists of the competition and became the first students to ever upload APKs to an Astrobee robot (Bumble) on the ISS. This was the culmination of a joint effort between JAXA’s Int-Ball developing team in Tsukuba, Japan and NASA’s Astrobee Facility team at NASA Ames Research Center\ in California, USA. The collaboration between JAXA and NASA started in late 2017. Throughout this time mutual visits by the engineering and management teams were organized. In July 2019 the Kibo RPC concept was formally defined and the competition started. Hundreds of students across the Asia Pacific region participated and during the final event they did so in real time with the participation of NASA’s astronaut, Chris Cassidy. Chris interacted with the students, JAXA personnel and with the robot during the activity. This report aims to summarize the lessons learned from the several crew and non-crew tended activities, the evaluations performed on ground, the coordination of resources both in the ground and at the International Space Station (ISS) as well as operations. It identifies the issues the teams faced and the solutions put in place to mitigate them.

Kibo Robot Programming Challenge 5/21/2020 Checkout Activity Report

This a report on JAXA’s Kibo Robot Programing Challenge (RPC) Checkout activity which took place on 2020-05-21. This activity is an on-orbit test for the upcoming competition organized by JAXA and to be ran by September 2020. It aimed to check the multiple aspects of the operation of Bumble in support of this competition. The activity had three primary objectives: a) verification of four different positions to be visited during the competition, namely Start Position, P1, P2, and P3, b) demonstration of Bumble autonomously moving from the Start Position to P3 without keep-in/keep-out zones and c) demonstration of Bumble autonomously moving from the Start Position to P3 with JAXA’s defined keep-in/keep-out zones. The report emphasizes the confirmation of JAXA’s previously calculated and commanded coordinates for each position and the Astrobee Facilities Team (AFT) estimation of new coordinates in case those coordinates did not match JAXA’s desired target positions per ground and crew procedures. Four estimated coordinates are proposed and various suggestions on operation procedures are given to improve the maneuverability of Bumble during the actual day of the competition.
