We think that this project may provide a new perspective in terms of gathering microbiology and electromagnetism in the space and inspire to young blood to come up with unmatched ideas. This project gives the modern solutions that we need to reach outer space in space race. All of this above make project important.
Instead of old-school techniques such as nailing and using robotic arm, thanks to genetic engineering it is possible to taking advantage of bacterias by making them resistable under harsh space conditions and getting excessive sticky materials produced. We are informed Caulobacter crescentus which have strong adhesive abilities and Chroococcidiopsis which are known for their ability to survive harsh environmental conditions, including both high and low temperatures, ionizing, radiation. Today's technology is able to synthesise super-powered space bacteria by compounding bacterias which have the similar properties such as above ones.
First of all, before pieces which are going to be combined launched, there will be holes and bulges on the pieces in a harmony similiar to key-lock model. On the holes there are going to be small capsules consisting of bacterias that we imaginely produced in first paragraph. These capsules will enable to bacterias survive and be conform with NASA's Multi-use Variable-g Platform Hardware. Then, pieces are going to be orbitted (maybe firstly in lower altitudes not like 250 miles like ISS) and aligned in the same direction and altitutde by the help of small thrusthers, autorotations, stabilizers and ailerons. Thirdly, while pieces are getting closer and closer, chips on pieces interact with each other and activate electromagnets by providing electricity. After pieces connect to each other in a total harmony, custom-engineered capsules annihilate themselves and spread viscose produced by bacterias equally on every surface and this viscose attaches two pieces together. Lastly, electromagnets get deactivated and will not have any harmful effect on electronical components of pieces. Also it is possible to put a insulator layer between electronic parts of pieces and attaching part to take precaution any detrimental effect.
Additionally, all these montaging operations will be helding through with a simulation. This simulation will be directed by a authorized person and help combining pieces orderly in order to complete the proccess healthy.
Launching or orbitting spacecrafts is so expensive because of the gravitional force of our World but it costs much more less if we would be able to send them from space or on an astreoid or on a tiny planet. The problem is there are no practical ways to combine them in space, at this point we hope to come throught this problem and managed to montage pieces in space. In this way we'll be able to save our energy, time and money.
To overcome the difficulties about montaging huge pieces of spacecrafts, telescopes etc. we came up with a practical but a little bit techincal interdisciplinary solution including genetic engineering, aerodynamic, material science and electromagnetism. Even though our majors are not related with microbiology, the key of our project bases on genetic engineering.We developed brand-new technique to combine pieces: super-sticky bacterias. This idea can lead a revolution in montaging.
The requirements of this age points us to importance of interdisciplinary projects, so we decided to find modern solutions to modern problems. While we were creating the project, we thought in many aspect to extend our boundries, so our approach can be evaluate as a combination of the results of this thinking process. Micro to Macro, involves microbiology, electromagnetism, aerodynamics, genetic engineering as well. We used bacterias and electric current as tools which are unexpected, because they are not only efficient but also easy to produce. Since cosmonautics is very expensive, one of the benefits of our solution is reducing the cost. Saving is not limited with money. In addition, we can make process shorther, so we can save time, effort, power, etc. Lastly, the research about life of bacterias in space can blossom.
There is a research of NASA, which was published in 2019, about bacteria lives in space. This research was crucial point of our project. We insipred this first, then we searched characteristic features of bacterias to use in space. As a result, we realized we can use super sticky bacterias to montage two pieces in space. Thank to NASA, we were able to imagine beyond the limits.
