1 Space Life Sciences Exploring Space | Enhancing Life Dreams and Possibilities: Planning for the Achievable Human Exploration Strategy – Extend and Sustain Human Activities Across the Solar System March 28, 2012 Jeffrey R. Davis, MD Director, Space Life Sciences, NASA 50 th Robert H. Goddard Memorial Symposium

2 Space Life Sciences Exploring Space | Enhancing Life Strategic Initiatives 2007 SLSD Strategic Plan – Mission Statement “To optimize human health and productivity for space exploration“ – Vision Statement "To become the recognized world leader in human health, performance and productivity for space exploration” – Strategic Goals o Manage balanced internal/external portfolio o Drive health innovations o Drive human system integration innovations o Educate and inspire 2 2

3 Space Life Sciences Exploring Space | Enhancing Life Strategic Initiatives Summary Visioning exercise and strategic plan Alliances benchmark 2008-2010 HBS collaborative innovation models and collaborative projects 2008-2010 Open innovation pilot project 2008-2010 Virtual center for collaboration established 2010: NASA Human Health and Performance center Pursue collaborative research models 2011 Develop Strategic Framework for Innovation 2011 3

4 Space Life Sciences Exploring Space | Enhancing Life 4 Portfolio Definition Human System risks for space flight (our portfolio of work) Evidence based risk management system 65 human system risks Human System Risk Board formed April 2008 –integrates research and operations—decisions made by one entity Developed Risk Management Analysis Tool (RMAT) Captures vertical “standards to deliverables” process Links risks for common elements Subject matter experts (risk owners) identify gaps in their research and technology portfolio Gaps became opportunities for open collaborative solutions

5 Space Life Sciences Exploring Space | Enhancing Life 5 Portfolio Analysis Portfolio mapping – Dr. Gary Pisano, Harvard Business School (HBS) “Which Kind of Collaboration is Right for You” – Harvard Business Review, December 2008 Workshop conducted by Dr. Pisano with NASA – Wyle leadership team July 2009 Analyzed 12 gaps for collaborative opportunity, those that mapped to open innovation quadrant selected for pilot projects

6 Space Life Sciences Exploring Space | Enhancing Life 6 Portfolio Analysis: Mapping - Models of Collaboration From Gary Pisano, Harvard Business School

7 Space Life Sciences Exploring Space | Enhancing Life 7 Internal innovation – “elite circle” Internal innovation projects Procure and adapt – retinal camera example New development – intravenous fluid from potable water Modified technology – colorimetric water analysis (formerly a device to evaluate paint color) Air quality – adapt a commercial device for another purpose

8 Space Life Sciences Exploring Space | Enhancing Life Remote Eye Imaging PreflightPostflight Discovery of changes in eyes prompted the need for remote eye imaging on ISS as soon as possible Found solution from a Wisconsin Optometrist who had invented a remote camera for an ophthalmoscope for use with his patients on remote islands New scope was flown within weeks and successfully began monitoring changes in the eye.

9 Space Life Sciences Exploring Space | Enhancing Life Colorimetric Water Quality Monitoring Kit (CWQMK) Silver(I) and iodine are biocides in spacecraft drinking water storage and distribution systems U.S. Water Recovery System uses Iodine o Low iodine levels allow microbial growth o Long term consumption of high I2 levels can cause thyroid dysfunction ISS Russian segment uses Silver (Ag+) o Long-term consumption of high silver levels can cause Argyria (irreversible blue- gray discoloration of the skin) Current biocide monitoring approach relies on archive samples which are collected in- flight, stored, then returned to ground and analyzed at JSC. Issues: o Techniques and/or hardware not in-flight deployable o Biocide levels subject to sample degradation during storage and transport Hardware Description Solution is a simple, compact, hand-held device that reliably and rapidly measures key water quality indicators in-flight Water sample is passed through membrane cartridge resulting in color change on membrane surface in the presence of silver or iodine Commercially available Diffuse Reflectance Spectrophotometer (DRS) measures magnitude of color change, which is proportional to the amount of analyte present in sample volume CSPE water quality monitoring kit was delivered to ISS on STS 128/17A CWQMK utilizes Colorimetric Solid Phase Extraction (CSPE) technology to protect crew health by providing the capability to perform in-flight measurements of iodine and silver levels in spacecraft potable water systems 9
