Nothing.

We want to foster and enable, and then get out of the way.

Manage

Culture!

Recognized Barriers to Innovation

• Management styles– Reluctance to promote innovative ideas

– Fear of failure

• Institutional inertia– This is how we’ve always done it!

• Organizational walls/silos– One NASA? One JSC? Not really …

• Complexity of processes– Which boss or board do I go to?

• Barriers offer opportunities for innovative solutions

Challenge Calls – EVA Prebreathe

get from this…

Prebreathe is how we safely

…to this.

Challenge Calls – EVA Prebreathe

How we did it better.

Using 4.5 hours of an

8 hour Innovation

Challenge Grant was

the catalyst that turned

a spreadsheet into an

interactive display.

Challenge Calls – EVA Prebreathe

What we did

We created macros that let other stakeholders “look over the BME’s

shoulder” during an EVA Prebreathe.

Benefits of the new tool:

• Improves safety by ensuring all calculations are

performed correctly and assumptions are shared

with all users.

• Streamlines communication and reinforces BME’s

ownership of the prebreathe clock.

• Reduces training required for inexperienced

operators to execute prebreathes with the same

confidence as experienced operators.

Challenge Calls – Collapsible H2O Container

Iodine Compatible Water Container (ICWC)Temporary Urine and Brine Stowage

System (TUBSS)

•Shuttle and ISS have a history of using soft-sided collapsible bags, which have several disadvantages:

– Limit to strength (pressure rating) as structural component consists of Nomex Fabric and Webbing

– Filled bags create a storage problem due to their irregular shape and limitations on what can be stored nearby

» Accounting for Keep–out Zones and irregular shape the water in ICWCs accounts for ~50% of the space allocated for storage

– Bladders are prone to leakage due to fold and creases that develop overtime

�ISS program is currently funding the development of a hard-sided COTs tank

Challenge Calls – Collapsible H2O Container

•Design Concepts Evaluated based on the following measuresMeasure Weight Baseline (ICWC) Info / Notes

Development cost (NRE) 24% Given current funding climate deemed key measure. Any viable option needs to have low NRE with high assurance of success.

Stowage Efficiency – Full (volume of water contained ÷ allocated ISS stowage volume)

22% Accounting for irregular shape and keep-out-zones ICWC stowage efficiency when full is ~50%. Most designs have near 100% stowage efficiency due to regular shape.

Stowage Efficiency –Empty

13% Measure of “wasted” space when container is in empty storage configuration. Empty ICWCs, while malleable for most part, have rigid plumbing line that prevents perfect (no wasted space) packing.

Ease of use (on-orbit) 13% ICWC ranks highest needing no crew interactions to assembly/deploy.

Production cost 9% ICWC ~ $16k/unit

Mass (empty) 6% ICWC – 2.4 lbs empty

Robustness 6% ICWC ranks low on robustness due to nomex restraint offering significantly less bladder protection compared to a hard sided container.

Service Life 6% ICWC service life is limited by wetted life of bladder. Many of the designs have removable bladders/top panels such that the bladder could be replaced without trashing the entire assembly.
