The International Space Station Phase1 risk Mitigation Experimental process Enhanced the Phase 2/3 Development

摘要

The international space station program initiated a Launch package/Stage Phase1 Program in late 1993. the Launch Package/Stage Phase 1 program ws developed to evaluate, in the space environment, certain hardware, software, operational procedures, and models directly relevant to the design and development of the ISS. The individual projects were selected based on several factors. One of the most important was the potential for rducing or eliminating identified potential risks associated with the assembly and EVA supported maintenance. Typical results include the deployment and verification of the docking module, the data and analysis confirming the contamination produced by the existing Mir space station environment is not as concentrated as predicted, confirmation of a capability for atitude data excchange between the space shuttle and Mir, and development and proof of a structural analysis tool using photography rather than more costly mounted sensors
