recycling on ISS through exercise and space events; aiding in disaster relief
medicine
Leveraging a Materials Testbed: Teaching 30+ million students from ISS:
Improving satellite component development Students participate in downlinks and
and spacecraft design interactive experiments with ISS astronauts
ISS Research and Developmental Technologies: Closed-loop life support • Advanced monitoring & control • In-
space assembly • Maintainability • supportability and logistics • Solar panels and batteries • EVA technologies 3
•
Automated systems • Exercise systems • Medical care • Food systems
4. A History of Collaboration and Cooperation:
ISS as a Stepping-Stone for Deep-Space Exploration
International Cooperation = Vital 4
5. International Space Exploration Coordination Group:
ISECGTerms of Reference
• Work collectively in a non-binding, consensus-driven
manner toward advancing the Global Exploration
Strategy
– Provide a forum for discussion of interests, objectives and
plans
– Provide a forum for development of conceptual products
– Enable the multilateral or bilateral partnerships necessary to
accomplish complex exploration missions
– Promote interest and engagement in space exploration
among citizens and society
• ISECG operating principles
– Open and inclusive, flexible and evolutionary, effective,
mutual interest
• ISECG chairmanship rotates approximately once per
year

6. The ISECG Global Exploration Roadmap
The first iteration of the Global Exploration
Roadmap (GER) was released by ISECG in
September 2011
Second iteration planned end 2012/early 2013
The GER reflects the international effort to
collaboratively define technically feasible and
programmatically implementable exploration
mission scenarios with the common goal of
humans on the surface of Mars
Asteroid Next, Moon Next
GER serves as a non-binding reference for
agencies to inform near-term decisions related
to exploration preparatory activities

Technologies and Leveraging ISS by Emerging Technologies
Given their broad-based benefits, International Partnerships are essential.
The Global Exploration Roadmap is consistent with NASA’s Capability-Driven Framework for Human
Space Exploration.
The International Space Station is now fully assembled and serves as the cornerstone of NASA’s Human Space Flight Operations and serve as a national laboratory. A six-member crew will continue to live and work aboard the International Space Station 24/7 until at least 2020. Station will be the centerpiece of our human spaceflight activities for the coming years, and the research and technology breakthroughs aboard Station will facilitate our travel to destinations beyond low Earth orbit. 1,200 experiment supporting 1,600 scientists in 59 countiesECLSS (environmental control and life support systems) – Achieved 70-80% water and air recycling on ISS; on the way to reducing logistics to support humans in space by 85% Human Research – Advancing knowledge needed to send humans on exploration missions beyond Earth and improve human health on EarthMaterials Testbed– Better understanding of materials properties has shortened satellite component development time by as much as 50% and is important to future spacecraft designEarth Observations – Daily ISS passes over 95% of population centers documenting global change & geographic eventsReaching Students –30+ million students have participated in human space flight though communication downlinks and interactive experiments with the ISS astronauts ISS Research and Developmental Technologies: Closed-loop life support, Advanced monitoring & control, In-space assembly, Maintainability, supportability and logistics, Solar panels and batteries, EVA technologies, Automated systems, Exercise systems, Medical care, Food systems

The experiment package is a test bed for materials and computing elements attached to the outside of the orbiting complex. These materials and computing elements are being evaluated for the effects of atomic oxygen, ultraviolet, direct sunlight, radiation, and extremes of heat and cold. This experiment allows the development and testing of new materials and computing elements that can better withstand the rigors of space environments. Results will provide a better understanding of the durability of various materials and computing elements when they are exposed to the space environment, with applications in the design of future spacecraft.
