SNL Human Systems Symposium presentation for UUR release. This presentation has been approved for sensitivity review and for release by the sponsor
Robotic vision system measures small gaps between nearly parallel tubes. Robot-held video camera examines closely spaced tubes while computer determines gaps between tubes. Video monitor simultaneously displays data on gaps.
The mission support appropriations provides funding for NASA's civil service work force, space communication services, safety and quality assurance activities, and for maintenance activities for the NASA institution. These objectives are accomplished through the following elements: safety, reliability, and quality assurance; space communication services; research and program management; and construction of facilities.

Seeker 1.0 is a prototype free flying robot that will one day be capable of inspecting human-rated spacecraft. Building off previous free flyer experience, this technology will eventually improve safety of human spacecraft by offering a variety of inspection capabilities for both routine and emergency scenarios providing increased capability and safety over current inspection methods. Seeker 1.0 is capable of 6 degree of freedom flight via a cold gas propulsion system and can operate up to 1 hour via a semi-autonomous guidance, navigation, and control system. The prototype spacecraft is capable of capturing still images at a variety of resolutions up to 13 MP. The initial test flight utilizes a command and data relay box called Kenobi. Kenobi is a derivative of the Seeker design and will communicate between Cygnus and Seeker and store data for post-mission downlink. Seeker and Kenobi have launched inside a NanoRacks External CubeSat Deployer (NRCSD-E) attached to the NG-11 Cygnus ISS resupply vehicle and will operate after Cygnus departs ISS and moves to a safe altitude. Operations will last approximately 30 minutes and will consist of basic vehicle maneuvers while capturing high-resolution still images. With any remaining time and propellant, Seeker will demonstrate additional safety capabilities and maneuvers required for operations around a crewed spacecraft. The Seeker project utilized the Class IE process that allows for streamlined flight hardware development and increased mission risk tolerance.

The information in this guide will make it easier to understand, apply, and validate compliance with heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) control requirements found in building energy codes .HVAC controls are a key driver of building performance from both energy and comfort standpoints, the latter of which impacts productivity, sales, and the general success of the activities in the buildings. Ensuring compliance with HVAC control requirements in the energy codes can be a challenging task; controls can be difficult to identify on plans and their proper installation and functionality are a challenge to assess in the field. The guide addresses requirements defined by the 2009 and 2012 IECC and the 2007 and 2010 editions of ASHRAE Standard 90.1, which are common bases for codes adopted by state and local jurisdictions.
