How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

  • For getting the model data of previously used tools in Apollo Missions,

Apollo Mission EVA Tools Catalogue-https://curator.jsc.nasa.gov/lunar/catalogs/other/jsc23454toolcatalog.pdf


  • For the selection of the tools before modifying, we focused on the recent work for Artemis project and their preferring tools,

  • For the detailed information of previous missions,

  • For getting pros & cons as well as the recommendations from the astronauts about the toolsets,

With pressurized suits and gloves, it will be tough for the astronauts to use the previously innovated circular handle, we planned for a secondary handle like this.
