Operational Thoughts on Data Driven Decision Making

Wednesday, October 5, 2016
5:00pm to 6:00pm

Astronaut Tyler N. "Nick" Hague, NASA Johnson Space Center
 
Abstract:
Operational perspectives on the use of telepresence to support planetary exploration will be presented.  Based on experiences gained training for spaceflight and supporting operations onboard the International Space Station, considerations for the implementation of robotically enhanced exploration will be discussed in the context of several operational environments: piloting jet aircraft; conducting routine operations onboard the International Space Station, and the execution of extravehicular activity (EVA).  Discussions will explore several facets of operational latency, as well as real-time decision making and risk management.
