1. In Situ Resource Exploration byHumans in Planetary Analog EnvironmentsBrian ShiroUH/NOAA/A4H13 November 2012PISCES Forum

2. How can we learn to work onplanetary surfaces to answerrelevant geophysical questionsand prospect for resources? Outline FMARS Mission Overview Seismic Project Electromagnetic Project MDRS Mission Overview Active Seismic + GPR Project HI-SEAS, NEEMO, etc. How Hawaii fits in. 3. FMARS and MDRS FMARS = FlashlineMars ArcticResearch Station MDRS = Mars DesertResearch Station Based on the MarsDirect architectureThe Mars Society 4. FMARS Devon Island Founded 2000 Polar desert Located on rim of 39MaHaughton Crater 12th crew: 6 people Crew Geophysicist Jun 27 - Aug 1, 2009(26 days on DevonIsland) 5. Mars on Earth Haughton CraterWhich one is Mars? 6. Seismic Station Study interiorstructure, origin, &evolution of planets Questions: crustalthickness, mantleproperties, coreradius, seismicity,seismic hazard 7. FMARS Seismic EVAs Summarycrew use of time, biometric monitoring, operations efficiency 8. EVA simulation 9. Install seismometer 10. wireless communications 11. Seismic Results 12. Electromagnetic Survey Time domainelectromagneticmethod (TDEM) Purpose: look forgroundwater,characterizesubsurfaceresistivity 13. FMARS TDEM EVAs Summarycrew use of time, biometric monitoring, operations efficiency 14. crew coordination 15. surveying 16. Lay out cable 17. equipment configuration 18. TDEM Results Constrainsubsurfaceresistivity to1,000-10,000 -m. Constrain upperbound of depth toconductor. Assuming a 100 -m body,groundwaterwould be at least300 m deep. 19. MDRS Hanksville, Utah Founded 2002 Desert withJurassic/Cretaceoussedimentary features 89th crew, 6 people Crew Commander Jan 23 Feb 6, 2010 20. NDX-1 Kneepads with Pablo Deleon 21. Ground Penetrating Radar CRUX instrument =miniaturized GPRdeveloped by NASA JPL Data collected byStoker et al. (NASAAmes) on Crew 85 inNov 2009 Found a strongreflector, a possibleburied paleochannel 22. Study Area 23. Miyamoto Crater, Mars Similar to thefeature at MDRS Inverted riverchannel intersectswith crate rim Former MSLlanding sitecandidate 24. Active Seismic Survey Seismic refraction, reflection, surface wavemethods Purpose: Determine shallow subsurfacestructure, Look for water & life habitatsLand streamer with 12 geophones 25. MDRS Seismic EVAs Summarycrew use of time, biometric monitoring, operations efficiency 26. Survey the Profile 27. Collect DataCover to see computer screenHammer strike as source 28. Move equipment to next site 29. Field repair of broken geophoneFix Broken Geophone 30. Seismic Data 31. GPR - Seismic Comparison GPR data collected again using CRUX by Crew 92 inMarch 2010. Same profile as seismic experiment. 32. Desert RATSPavilion Lake Other Analog SitesDry ValleysSvalbardMoses LakeNEEMOHawaii, etc. 33. Mauna Kea2008, 2010, 2012 34. HI-SEASMauna LoaA crew of six will spend 120 days living and working here in 2013.http://manoa.hawaii.edu/hi-seas/ 35. The fate of NEEMO 36. Hawaii Advantages Year-round access, excellentinfrastructure (airports, ports, roads,Universal Space Network) Varity of environments/analogs Central Pacific location, international Superb State of Hawaii support (Officeof Aerospace Development) World renown astronomy and planetaryscientists at the University of Hawaii. Strong ties to NASA (Space Act, PISCES) Strong NOAA presence (for NEEMO?) 37.
