NASA Swamp Works at Kennedy Space Center: Advanced Technology Development

The American Concrete Institution (ACI) Universidad de Cuenca Chapter, from Ecuador, is pleased to inform you that Mr. Rob Mueller, Director of Swamp Works, is invited to our academic event named II International Symposium of Cement and Concrete Technology. The dates of the event are from the 8th to 9th of October 2019 in the Carlos Cueva Tamariz Theater, Cuenca - Ecuador. This event is part of the commencement of the 80 years of institutional life of the Faculty of Engineering and is ideal opportunity to establish connections with the industry and academia.During this experience Senior Technologist Rob Mueller will have the opportunity to speak in two 45 min sessions about The Swamp Works. Topic: The rapid, innovative, and cost-effective exploration mission solutions of NASA.

Preparing for Mars 2020 and Future Space Missions: Technology Advancements Driving Contamination Control Requirements and Cleanroom Protocols

Future space exploration missions will force contamination control requirements to become more strict to support increasingly sensitive instrumentation and search for life missions. Driving issues for these extremely clean requirements include increased instrument sensitivity, return sample science, and protecting ambitious mission science objectives. Preparing to meet these requirements mandates that contamination control provide new guidelines and more involved support for the cleanrooms during flight hardware assembly, including establishing better methods for setting cleanroom personnel limits to reduce particle fall out in cleanrooms. Limited literature exists for universal methods of determining cleanroom personnel limits, and what does exist includes mostly theory and assumptions on determining the limit. In this work, published method will be assessed against particle fall out data collected from the ISO 5 cleanrooms of the Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover assembly. Additional evaluations will assess contamination control required cleanroom protocols and the overall success of meeting strict cleanliness requirements of the Adaptive Caching Assembly (ACA) and sample tubes to safeguard future scientific endeavors.
