We seek to develop furniture that allows our astronauts to have a comfortable environment for their rest and a moment of leisure, which in turn provides them with a storage space just as we work on the creation of tools that contribute to the improvement of the habitat and with the repair of possible damage to any of the elements that make up the housing space on the red planet.
Note: The measurements of the tips of the screwdrivers and of the screws we do not consider it essential to specify these measurements, there are many practical solutions for these details, we consider that our approach to the challenge is based more on the design of the blocks
We design easy to-use tools; merging existing objects, in order to reduce storage space and construction material. The original function for which the tool was created will not be affected.
Among the utensils that can be created with 3D printers and that meet the required dimensions are:
We design a multifunctional piece of furniture which consists of a sofa; that will fulfill the function of bed, table, desk and wardrobe; It has two pull-out drawers in which you can store personal items, such as: photographs, newspapers, clothing, among others. This will have a drawer available to store shoes, clothes or, failing that, blankets.
The table will also serve as a support for the furniture when reclining the backrest, becoming part of the bed.
The screwdriver will be made up of two parts, one of which will be the handle made of plastic and the tip will have a threaded shape to be able to change the tips according to its use, the second part is made up of the tip of the screwdriver, which will be made of metal, where the upper part will have the design of the corresponding tip and the lower part will be made of plastic with the shape of a thread to be able to adjust it to the handle.
The hammer will be made of Martian regolith covered with metal, only the upper part of the hammer will be built with a small part of the handle which will be made of plastic in the form of a thread so that it can be adjusted to the handle of the screwdriver.
The hammer is entirely made of plastic, this tool is created with the aim of making it even easier to assemble and disassemble the lego type pieces.
The pot will have some supports in the form of cylinders which will be fastened to each other with screws and thus unfold the other two levels or collect them as the case may be, it will also have a container made of plastic, one smaller than the other, in which plants can be placed.
The wheel will be built according to the restrictions of the metal 3D printer, assembled parts under the same concept that we have handled assembly. They will be parts that are within the printing ranges and that screws will be used for the assemblies.
In order not to unbalance the grip of the wheels of the rover, we will leave the same design of the projections that it currently has, what we will modify is the configuration of the wheel with the central crown remaining the same size as the original wheel so that it fits perfectly.
Apart from offering storage, comfort, and repair aids, it will also save on printing material, so that it can be used for other prints than the ones we planted.
With these improvements, the life of the astronauts in the course of time will have another perspective, it will be more comfortable for them, they will be able to have a multifunctional space which will be able to offer them a rest area that in turn is a work and storage space.
Accounting with NASA data, we collected information about the different aspects of the Rover curiosity, such as; its size, its resistance, and its methods to collect information, we also had accessed to information related to the red planet, such as; the climate, its rocks, its minerals.
From the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), we observe the results of the tests they have carried out with their probe Rover, adding improvements such as; a laser that detects objects located at a certain distance. The CSA MET is an outdoor test facility with workspace dimensions simulating that of Mars
