DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:ABSTRACT: The International Space Station is one of the most expensive and complex objects ever constructed.=0AIt benefits humanity with a unique microgravity and extreme research environment.  =0A=0ASending experiments and materials to the ISS is costly and logistically complex.=0AThe high dollar and time cost, along with increasing demand, has led to large amounts of items being stowed onboard the ISS.=0AHowever, stowage space onboard the ISS is very limited, and, as more items are stowed, the complexity increases, requiring more time for management.=0A=0AThis research involves creating a software solution called UtiliStation, which may increase the utilization of the ISS by optimizing onboard stowage of resources over time should NASA decide to implement it.=0AThe solution may reduce the complexity of cargo management while reducing the ground and astronaut time by using Map-Reduce functions on inventory and crew procedure data.
