We consider the health and safety of astronauts, Without them, our project wouldn't even exist!
01
Being in an enclosed space could be hazardous in low gravity, To prevent unnessesary head injuries caused by accidently jumping too high or moving too fast- the bubble design provides a soft cushioned surface for astronauts. It would be detrimental to have a injured astronaut during a temporary mission away from the main base.
02
Astronauts need to have an average of 2 hours of exercise per day. This is to lessen the effects of being in a zero or less gravity setting. Astronauts face the risk of losing significant muscle and bone mass during their time away from earth- which makes exercise an essencial to day to day life. Thus making this an important task even when not at 'home base'.
This is why we implement a double function for the futon storage box. It doubles as a holder and hook for resistance bands, a common tool for astronaut exercise. This would allow them to have normal day to day exercise without the need of a full size machine.
03
The Enviromental Control and Life Support System allows for astronauts to simply live life. This includes breathable air, usable water, waste management, pressure and tempature control.
Our automatic pressurization system prevents the cabin from depressurizing due to human error. Because not only does it sense and alerts the astronauts of low pressure, it automatically fills it up to maintain a livable pressure.
04
Water is one of the most valuable resource in space. It's to the point where they consistantly drink their own filtered urine!
This is why providing fresh water and savbing waste water is so important. The water tank in the Cosmic Cabin holds up to 48 gallons of water. The tank contains two seperate bags of water- fresh and waste water. As one bag empties out, the other fills up. The average astronaut would use up to 1 gallon of water per day. With two astronauts on board for a 7 day mission, that would equate up to 14 gallons of water per mission. 48 gallons would make sure each astronaut would have plenty of water to survive an emergancy up to 2 weeks long.
