SPACE ADAPTATION SUIT

Astronauts who go to space find themselves having severe problems as a result of muscle atrophy. Nasa astronaut said, "I still feel pain in my back muscles. Especially trying to keep my head up makes me quite tired. I never thought my head would be so heavy. I tried so hard to keep my head upright in the first minutes when I regained gravity,“ he says.

The main causes of muscle wasting and this difficulty keeping the head up, Reise speaks about are atrophy of unused organs (muscles do not work because there is no G force) and distruption of circulation as blood is not drawn downwards. Since one of the forces that will draw the blood to the feet decreases, the muscles cannot be fed adequately. An undernourished muscle is a weak muscle.

This pressure difference has been the use of spacecraft (Rotating Habituation Models) that take advantage of the centripetal force generated in vehicles rotating around themselves. But in order for it to work, it needs to have a sufficient semi-diameter (F=m.v^2/r )and is being shelved as a result of financial insufficiency, which is one of the biggest reasons.

So we decided to design a suit for astronauts as a solution for these problems. We also hope that it will facilitate our colonization of celestial bodies such as Mars and the Moon. Don't you think it's great to be able to survive 20% to 29% muscle wasting after 3 months of space life?�

Our clothing will work the muscles with the stimulation (EMS) technique and the need for daily movement will be met (running the muscles with artificial electrical signals). Muscles are as effective as the heart in the circulatory system. The blood circulation will also be able to circulate at close to normal levels. Stimulation is still a method used in various muscle treatments today. The electrical muscle stimulation system is applied with training paths. It is the interaction arising from the transmission of small or medium electrical currents to the muscles at certain intervals. Muscles that cannot be activated in physical training can be activated by electrical currents.�

STEPS TO SPACE COLONIES

In close future NASA, SpaceX and other global organisations plan for space operations that include human pilots/crewmembers. Thanks to this suit we present spacee colonisation will become easier thanks to adaptation
