A SUSTAINABLE MULTIPURPOSE WORKSTATION IN MARS �

​

  • The choice of design outcomes is driven by the question: what can be improved in the living conditions on Mars?
  • -It is determined that the longer the mission, the more demanding the requirements will sustain the crew.

HUMAN FACTOR AND PSYCHOLOGY

  • Based On NASA Psychological Studies on astronauts :
  • Space is an extremely hostile environment for human life – from the lack of gravity and harmful radiation to isolation and the absence of night and day.
  • They found that the microgravity affects astronauts heavily .
  • But a new study, published in Frontiers of Physiology, has discovered that the lack of gravity on such missions could have a negative impact on astronauts’ cognitive skills and emotional understanding.

Adjustable Workstation �

  • (Plastic & metal 3d printer )
  • Workstation is core furniture design due to the astronauts will spend most of time working up to 8-9 hours,
  • easy use and maintains routinely. The workstation is a deployable system works in 3 modes: fast tag-ups, independent work & gathering
  • it’s made of the sandwich of two UHMWPE polymer sheets with a closed cell foam board between.
  • UHMWPE is stain proof, not chemically reactive. It’s highest abrasion resistance of any polymer, lightweight, and extremely high tensile strength. It can be only 1/32” thick & it’s extremely cut resistance. It can be paper-thin (0.004 inches)

  • Energy source
  • Wind power and solar power may complement each other on Mars. When you have a large dust storm blocking the sunlight on Mars, a wind turbine can still generate electricity
  • Only during dust storms on Mars is there enough wind energy to operate a wind turbine
  • Air filters
  • The rover is about the size of a small car, weighing about one ton in total and is 10 feet long by nine feet wide by seven feet tall. It has a robotic arm that reaches about 7 feet long, the end of which has a robotic “hand” that has a camera, chemical analyzer, and a rock drill
