Space Apps Challenge 2018

What would happen if being out of space you run out of

communication and there is no way to alert the individual to

what is likely to be a change in the environment? Our project

plans to solve this problem through the use of a suit equipped

with probes that communicate with it, using different sensors

that depend on certain variables and thus keep it alert.

The probes must integrate: an instrument that allows to

measure the radiation, a bank of batteries, humidity sensors,

wind speed and temperature in the environment of a determined

perimeter. Each probe must be formed on the outside by an

aluminum-titanium alloy in order to repel the cosmic rays and

solar panels to achieve charge its battery bank, for its

operation.

By integrating systems with a microcontroller, the information

recorded from the environment is processed and transmitted to

the suit.

A receiver device integrated into the suit will display a

warning within the visual range of the user by means of a

light code.

Inside the suit has been integrated a series of sensors

(humidity, temperature, heart rate) that will be monitoring

the user, on the outside a solar panel linked to a bank of

batteries to power the system, an air tank, also, It also

includes a propofol tank which will serve to "restart" the

user in case there may be an alteration in his vital signs,

allowing in this way to relax the user and remove him from a

state of panic that could worsen his conditions.

The user must stay within physiological levels, where cells

and metabolic reactions can occur. For it

Our systems are constantly acting, in order to maintain this

situation. It does not mean that we are always at the optimum

value, but within the ranges (in some very tight places) where

the maintenance of life is possible and where it is

continually subject to change.

An alternative to maintain homeostasis while on Mars is from

an intravenous analgesic of short duration, in this case it

would be propofol. But to be able to give a dose to the

patient it is necessary to take into account both the weight

and the height of this if not, it could cause the subject to

get worse.
