## ISS Crew SystemHealth Maintenance (HMS)Virtual Iron Bird WorkshopNASA-Ames Research CenterMarch 31-April 2, 2004Tara Ruttley, NASA-JSC (EB)Anna Clements, LMSOConstance Adams, Architect, Aerotek

## Overview

- HMS Hardware Engineering
- Space Architecture
- CHeCS Overview
- HMS Interfaces and Topology
- Proposal for Collaboration

## Hardware engineering

- Support Engineering Directorate in providing and sustaining Government Furnished Equipment (GFE)
- Develop requirements documents
- Incorporate appropriate functional performance, environmental, transportation, human factors and other requirements levied on flight hardware
- Design/Develop or identify Off-The-Shelf (OTS) hardware
- Verify hardware meets requirements specified in requirements document
- Test, Analysis, Demo, Similarity, Inspection

## Crew Health Care System (CHeCS) hardware development

- 		OUR TASKS:
- 		Assessment
- 		Technical Requirements
- 		Design and Sustaining Engineering
- OUR CHALLENGES:
- Hardware must conform to multiple platforms (Shuttle, ISS, Soyuz, Progress, ATV etc.) and their requirements;
- Medical protocols constantly changing/improving;
- Crew training time and ops time are at a premium;
- CHeCS/HMS failures can result in loss or disability of crew, loss of mission.

## Space Architecturesynchronous integration of operational and technical engineering

- Combines technical and operational assessments;
- Streamlines design development to shorten delivery time / reduce rework;
- Focus on user interface;
- Design supports logistical as well as functional operations;
- Reduce training time / error-proof ops

## CHeCS Overview

- Crew Health Care System (CHeCS) is comprised of three smaller subsystems
- Environmental Health System (EHS)
-  Counter Measures System (CMS)
-  Health Maintenance System (HMS)
- Purpose of CHeCS is to protect and maintain crew health while on the ISS

## HMS description

**HMS hardware **
**  ****provides the crew with a variety of  **
**  ****necessary medical equipment**
- General Check-up
- Medication
- Emergency
**Current Hardware Includes**
- Ambulatory Medical Pack (AMP)
- Advanced Life Support Pack (ALSP)
- Crew Medical Restraint System (CMRS)
- Respiratory Support Pack (RSP)
- Defibrillator
- Crew Contamination Protection Kit
- HMS Ancillary Support Pack (HASP)
- Interim Medical Kit (IMAK)
- Acoustic Countermeasures Kit (ACK)

## Current hardware

**Defibrillator**

**Crew Medical Restraint System**

**Respiratory Support Pack**

**Advanced Life Support Pack**

**Ambulatory Medical Pack**

## HMS external interfaces

## HMS operational interfaces

## Current hardware: topology

- Recent on-orbit configuration in LAB1D4
- AMP
- ALSP
- CMRS
- Respiratory Support Pack
- Defibrillator

## Common Ground HMS Augmentation and Virtual Iron Bird 

- Support _design and integration_ by visualizing all three CHeCS HMS configurations:
- packed for launch/deorbit
- Stowed, nominal ops
- Deployed, full medical procedures
- _Operations and training_: simulate medical operations in microgravity
- _Procedures_ and _inventory management_

## Proposal for collaboration: VIB support of ISS CHeCS hardware development and Med Ops 

- Build ISS LAB1 model
- Up-to-date systems, structures, payloads, and stowage information
- Focus on topology of CHeCS hardware
- Ability to assess our designs in stowed and deployed configurations
- Model CHeCS HMS hardware and procedures
- Simulate μ-G medical procedures to support design, training and assessment
