Let's Connect

For bigger spacecraft capable of executing bigger missions, some of the assembly may be done in space. Your challenge is to design a simple approach that enables components to be assembled in space.

TunnelVision

Summary

its 2050, Mars is colonized.for efficient use of resources hubs are far apartIn such isolated colonies people feel lonely and locked awayTunnel vision connects martians both physically and emotionally by using doors as virtual portals by use of screens and camera'sPerspective of the other side is created with eye tracking and a 3D camera.The universal interface connects to rovers, hallways and people.Doors are locked and alligned by use of an air tube.Together with a cleaning mechanism, toxic mars dust is kept out.

How We Addressed This Challenge

We developed a system that connects both physically and socially. For the physical connection this we came up with an inflatable rubber tube. This tube ca align and lock external modules to a hub and is airtight to keep away Mars dust and to keep the pressure in the hub on level. A social connection is created by using the door as a video screen to show what other do on mars. This is achieved by using a camera arrays that tracks the eyesight of a user and records a 3D image of a different room that is shown to the user.

How We Developed This Project

We are three industrial design students and found this challenge to be the most similair to a design question. We developed our project with a Delft deisgn approach. So, we did research, we came up with multiple ideas and eventually chose one to be developed into a concept. During our project we used Miro to keep track of everything, Solidworks for CAD, Keyshot for rendering and Adobe CC for other visuals and a video

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

We did not use any space agency data as we did not found relevant data for our direction. However we used some reseach done by NASA on living on mars for example: https://www.nasa.gov/specials/apollo50th/index.html
