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.

LOGINECT MX

Summary

Design a mechanical system of tools and installations to assembly all types of components and structure, based on the toys that we used when we were younger, using the logic of indicators such as shapes, figures and colors, combining them into simple mechanisms like the nut and bolt, or the mechanics of a zip tie.

How We Addressed This Challenge

We developed a system called LOGINECT MX that is based on simple mechanics , this proyect will be important because it will help to build in outer space using kids logic, associating figures, shapes and colors making the construction something easy, even when the space suit is on.

How We Developed This Project

Our team was interested on this project because of the innovation that creating a solution implies, then, we keep it simple, thinking in some useful mechanical tools and the toys we use to play with, we take Power Point and Microsoft Paint as tools to create our whole idea.

We get into a little controversy in the brainstorming because of all the different proposals, but then we start to put them together in just one idea that we think could work.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

We used it to learn more about the equipment and the sats that are used on missions
