The Role of Industry in Space Exploration
David Logsdon
U.S. Chamber of Commerce
Space Enterprise Council
November 12, 2008
Formed in 1999 from a forum hosted by NASA and the U.S. Department of Commerce
Original focus was solely on commercial space
Focus has expanded to include commercial, civil, and national security space
Space Enterprise Council
Six working groups Space Transportation Remote Sensing GPS/PNT Space Communications Emerging Markets Export Control Policy
Space Enterprise Council
Present Day
For the past two years, the SEC has worked closely with NASA’s Exploration Systems Mission Directorate (ESMD)
In January 2008, SEC Space Transportation Working Group (STWG) started Interface Standards activity for ESMD
Space Enterprise Council’s Relationship with NASA
The Space Enterprise Council agreed to work with NASA on Lunar Standards To evaluate, prioritize, and identify lunar interface
standards Focusing on commercial standards that have long term
applicability to the lunar architecture Enabling Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) type
solutions Identifying what would be best served by US versus
International standards Identify candidate sources of those standards

Product 3Standard Source Identification / STWG Contacts
• Product 3 was envisioned as a compilation of existing standards from many industries and nations which were identified as having possible application for a Lunar outpost.
• STWG member companies were each assigned an identified Lunar outpost functional area in which to research sources of existing U.S. and international standards. A standard source description form was created to capture each.

Synopsis of Top Level Functional Requirements or Objectives(Based on Matrix and Scenarios)
Water quality standards exist to maintain quantifiable physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of water. The primary uses considered for such characterization are parameters which relate to drinking water, safety of human contact, and for health of ecosystems. Water quality standards, at least as it relates to human consumption, are as applicable on Earth as on the Moon.
Applicable Standard(Specific Document Info)
Responsible Group/Agency Point of Contact (Name, email/phone)
U.S. Standards:Water quality standards exist on a national level as legislated by congress and enforced through federal agencies. One agency is the Environmental Protection Agency, an agency of the federal government charged with protecting human health and with safeguarding the natural environment.
The EPA has formed the National Drinking Water Advisory Council (NDWAC). The NDWAC is a 15-member board comprised of five members of the general public, five reps of state and local agencies, and five reps of private organizations and groups demonstrating an active interest in water hygiene and public water supply.

International Standards:The International Organization for Standardization, ISO, also maintains several standards. ISO is the world's largest developer and publisher of International Standards. It is a network of the national standards institutes of 157 countries, one member per country, with a Central Secretariat in Geneva, Switzerland, that coordinates the system.
- Water quality is regulated by ISO. Standards exist for water sampling, drinking water, industrial class water, sewage water, and examination of water for chemical, physical or biological properties.Water quality regulation is covered in the section of ICS 13.060. Section of ICS 91.140.60 covers the standards of water supply systems.
ISO members and technical committees can be contacted via ISO website. (WWW.ISO.ORG)

Product 3 Summary of Standards Sources
STWG has created a standard standards evaluation form which contains standards sources and contact info for each functional area.
In researching standards, it was noted that each functional area may be decomposed into more specific areas each of which may have identifiable standards sources (e.g. Human Factors is composed of Anthropometry, Human Factors Engineering, Physiology, Human Environments, etc.)
Also noted is the need for emphasis on identification of standards organizations in addition to the standards themselves. For some functional areas, individual standards may evolve quickly (e.g. Communications) and contact with interested standards organizations will be required for proper updates.
Identified international standards to date are primarily European. Additional research should consider other international organizations (for example India, Asia, etc).
In discussion with NASA leadership in May 2008, it was determined that some method of evaluation should be implemented to assess the applicability, value, and integrity of the standards and sources that were being identified. Four metrics of evaluation have therefore been instituted by which to judge each standard.
Pervasiveness (How widespread is standard in current use? )
Applicability (Does standard apply to a space application?)
Timeliness (When does standard become needed based on Temporal Assessment?)
Spaceflight History (Has the standard been applied in past or current spaceflight?

Product 3 Summary of Standards Evaluation
STWG has created a standards evaluation database to facilitate judgment by NASA of the value or appropriateness of any identified standards.
All STWG team collected data has been captured and evaluated in the database according to the four developed metrics. The Excel template facilitates additional inclusion of identified standards and sorting and comparison of data.
Evaluation provides quick look into which standards in a given functional area are most applicable and timely; building on the previous Lunar outpost standards development work accomplished in Product 1 and Product 2.
