Power and Video Grapple Fixture. The Power and Video Grapple Fixture (PVGF) allows for grappling and latching. [4] It has electrical connectors for data, video, and power. [4] The electrical connections are compatible with the Space Station Remote Manipulator System (also known as Canadarm2).
The DMC manages the integrated high data rate (K u-band) communications link between the ground and the station. This position manages data system traffic, downlink video, assures ground data quality with NASA users, and assesses data system change requests. The DMC ensures that the data system is properly configured to support payload operations.
Harmony, also known as Node 2, is the "utility hub" of the International Space Station.It connects the laboratory modules of the United States, Europe and Japan, as well as providing electrical power and electronic data.
Pleiades (/ ˈ p l aɪ ə d iː z, ˈ p l iː ə-/) is a petascale supercomputer housed at the NASA Advanced Supercomputing (NAS) facility at NASA's Ames Research Center located at Moffett Field near Mountain View, California. [3] It is maintained by NASA and partners Hewlett Packard Enterprise (formerly Silicon Graphics International) and Intel.
International Space Station solar array wing (Expedition 17 crew, August 2008).An ISS solar panel intersecting Earth's horizon.. The electrical system of the International Space Station is a critical part of the International Space Station (ISS) as it allows the operation of essential life-support systems, safe operation of the station, operation of science equipment, as well as improving crew ...
The processor and software direct data to and from the instruments, to the solid-state memory core, and to the radio system which can send data back to Earth and receive commands. [10] The computer also controls the pointing and movement of the spacecraft, taking in sensor data from the gyroscopes and star tracker , and sending the necessary ...
NDS supports both autonomous and piloted dockings and includes pyrotechnics for contingency undocking. Once mated the NDS interface can transfer power, data, and air; future implementations will be able to transfer water, fuel, oxidizer and pressurant as well. [1] The passage for crew and cargo transfer has a diameter of 800 millimetres (31 in ...
The original inventors of SHINE are Mark L. James and David J. Atkinson. SHINE is an expert system and inference engine based upon the experience, requirements and technology that were collected by the Artificial Intelligence Research group at NASA/JPL in developing expert systems for the diagnosis of spacecraft health.
