Stability for nonlinear systems that take an input is input-to-state stability ( ISS ), which combines Lyapunov stability and a notion similar to BIBO stability.

It is intended for integration and checkout at the International Space Station ( ISS ), and would be suitable for deep-space missions from the ISS to and beyond the Moon, including Earth / Moon L1, Sun / Earth L2, near-Earth asteroidal, and Mars orbital destinations.

Another example of a trauma scoring system is the Injury Severity Score ( ISS ).

Each category is scored from 0 to 5 using the Abbreviated Injury Scale, from uninjured to critically injured, which is then squared and summed to create the ISS.

For satellites having a mass less than M μ < sub > err </ sub >/ μ ≈ 10 < sup > 15 </ sup > kg, that is, over a billion times that of the ISS, the error due to the approximation is smaller than the error on the universal geocentric gravitational constant ( and thus negligible ).

Among personal milestones, he became the first human to be launched into space seven times, and had held United States records for spacewalks ( nine ) and spacewalking time ( 58 hours and 18 minutes ) until he was surpassed by the current record holder, ISS Expedition 14 commander Michael Lopez-Alegria ( ten EVA's totaling 67 hours and 40 minutes ).

Another feature incorporated into the ISS suits included an additional battery to power heaters built into the glove, allowing astronauts to keep their hands warm during nighttime passages on each 95-minute orbit.

In 1993, the Clinton administration announced the transformation of Space Station Freedom into the International Space Station ( ISS ).

The proposal is to execute a similar to the original ISS plan with the addition of a Nodal Module ( significant modification of the UDM design-to increase the number of docking ports from 4 to 6 and to take into account its location at MLM nadir-at the same time with reducing its weight from 20t to 4t and removing the additional life-support system ) and two additional science / energy modules to the segment around 2013-2015.

During his Increment, the last of the program, Thomas worked on 27 science investigations into areas of advanced technology, Earth sciences, human life sciences, microgravity research, and ISS risk mitigation.

There are plans to develop the ISS further to develop the capability to launch satellites into orbit.

John Hunter of Quicklaunch has twice proposed the use of Mount Adagdak's western slope as the emplacement site for a light gas gun to launch small payloads into orbit for use at ISS.

The ISS is unique because visitors are not classed automatically into ' host ' or ' guest ' categories as with previous stations and spacecraft, and may not suffer from feelings of isolation in the same way.

The Dream Chaser is designed to be a crewed vertical-takeoff, horizontal-landing ( VTHL ) lifting-body spaceplane that will be placed into LEO by an Atlas V, and is a proposed CCDev ISS crew transport vehicle.

The scan platform comprises: the Infrared Interferometer Spectrometer ( IRIS ) ( largest camera at top right ); the Ultraviolet Spectrometer ( UVS ) just above the UVS ; the two Imaging Science Subsystem ( ISS ) vidicon cameras to the left of the UVS ; and the Photopolarimeter System ( PPS ) under the ISS.

At the 7th ISS Asia Security Summit ( also known as Shangri-La Dialogue ) in Singapore, Bangladesh's Foreign advisor Iftekhar Ahmed Chowdhury met with UK's Defence Minister Des Browne at the sidelines to discuss security and defense relations between the two countries.

The three-module station allowed a minimum crew of two astronauts or cosmonauts to be on the ISS permanently.

He worked as CAPCOM for a number of shuttle flights and was on two further flights himself-STS-77 ( May 19 to 29, 1996 ) and STS-97 ( to the ISS, November 30 to December 11, 2000 ).

Nevertheless, the ISS astronaut crew ultimately end up with " slower " time because the two opposing effects are not equally strong.
