Materials

Choosing the right materials is important, we did extensive research on which materials we would actually use on the full sized product. 

Beta Cloth

Seen on astronaut suits and the fabric layers on the ISS, Beta Cloth acts as the protective layer for the Cosmic Cabin. It protects from outside dirt, tempatures, and most important of all: radiation poisoning. 

See how this all impacts the health of our astronauts here:

Aluminum Honeycomb

A lighter alternative to plain Aluminum sheets, contains a high strength:weight ratio. Imperative when considering cutting costs.[sub: wood]

Regid Solar Panels

In comparison to RTG, Kilopower, and flexible panels, rigid solar panels are by far the most cost effective, efficient, and safest option. A 1600W system is required to fully charge the camper, Flexible cells do not bring in enough power, RTG is too heavy and takes up too much space to be cost effective, and kilopower is simply too large and inefficient when it comes to mobile transport.

Vectren

Used to make the average plastic shopping bag, Vectren is all around us, From making inflatable bouncy houses to being the main plastic in NASAs inflatable "BEAM" . In our model, Vectren is used as the pressurized layer, connected directly to the pressure system on the inside.
