An aerial map is also provided to showNASAscience sites along the Black Point Lava Flow and sharethequestions geologists hope to answer during the outing.About Desert RATS:For 14 years NASA's Desert Research and Technology Studies(DesertRATS) analog has brought together scientists and engineersto testrobotic equipment, vehicles, habitats, space suits,communications,and power generation and storage in remote locationssimilar tofuture destinations in space. The teams evaluatemobility,infrastructure, and effectiveness in the harshenvironments, andconduct scientific studies similar to those thatwould be performedon the moon, near Earth asteroids, or Mars andits moons. Analogslike Desert RATS provide NASA with data aboutstrengths,limitations, and the validity of planned human-roboticexplorationoperations, and help define ways to combine human androboticefforts to enhance scientific exploration. Other NASAanaloglocations include the Antarctic, oceans, and arctic andvolcanicenvironments.
NASA HIAD 1.0.0
A giant cone of inner tubes stackedtogethermay someday help cargo, or even people, land on anotherplanet orreturn to Earth. NASA calls the spacecraft technology HIAD-Hypersonic Inflatable Aerodynamic Decelerator.Learn the challenges NASA faces as it works to developaninflatable spacecraft. Choose the right shape, materialsandtrajectory to use a HIAD to bring cargo back from space.To successfully guide an inflatable spacecraft through thesuperheat of atmospheric re-entry requires the right stuff. Ifyouinflate too early, your shape is incorrect or your materialisn’tstrong enough - you burn up. And if you get all that right andmissthe target the mission is a bust.Try your hand at landing a HIAD and become a rocketscientist.Advance through all stages at each of the four levels,collectingup to three stars for each successful landing.The HIAD game challenges players to successfully land aHIADafter launching from the International Space Station andarrivingat a target ground point on Earth. To successfully reachthetarget, players must:• Undock from the ISS and use thruster control to steerthespacecraft towards the desired de-orbit point• Inflate the HIAD aeroshell to reduce velocity and protectthepayload from the heat of atmospheric re-entry• Steer the inflated HIAD to the ground target prior toparachutedeployment, taking into account the prevailing winds• Customize the HIAD vehicle to achieve differentperformancecharacteristics to improve resultsFEATURES• Multiple spacecraft configurations and options• Speed and trajectory controls• In-game introduction• Four levels of engineering mastery• Locked levels• Scoring for each level• Help section• Links to related website
