“Medical emergency on the Flight to Mars”
10 astronauts are on their long journey to Mars. The international crew prepares for the last phase before entering the orbit of Mars. All are excited and it is plenty to do so no crew member can be missed in this important work. Suddenly there is a serious medical emergency on the space craft. The medical officer is able to diagnose the emergency, but can onyl stabilize the patient and cannot help the patient without a bio-artifical implant or external prothesis to safe the astronaut on board. The hole mission is at danger, since it cannot be completed without this crew member.
Due to the sparse materials available at the space ship, the SOP (Standard Operation Procedure) demands to call ground control for assistance. After waiting endless 32 endless minutes mission control informs the crew that they will setup an international team having to setup a bio-artificial implant or external prosthesis to safe the astronaut on board. Work needs to be done in 4 days not to endanger the astronauts life and a safe arrival at Mars.
A few minutes later your telphone ring and you are linked to the team of experts. A list of materials which are on the space ship, amongst them some sensors and electronics as well as a 3D printer from the scientific experiments of the mission appears on your display.
Accept the challenge! Design a device with the available resources, write the code and create a 3D printed prototype to check the functionality on ground. If you succeed, the data will be immediately transmitted to the crew, which will immediately follow your design.
You have 4 days to complete this mission.
What are the limiting factors of your mission? (Requirements)
- The medical condition you need to solve is limiting the astronaut in his physical abilities. Many things can happend, e.g., one (or more) of the limbs/joints of the astronaut is impaired, the astronauts cardio-vascular system has problems or he needs an automatic suspension of medicine. For the Hackaton you can chose one disability for your creative solution!
- The implant/prosthesis needs to build with the materials available on board List of resources and manufacturing technologies
- An electronic sensor + controller needs be used to enable monitoring the functionality of the device or on patient data.
- Functionality is the primary goal, but also think about the astronaut to wear this device. I needs to be comfortable and also design should not be neglected. Do you want to be call a disgusting BORG or a cool looking superman? All disciplines need to work together to achieve a device that helps the astronaut and which is proudly worn by him. Your team therefore consists of experts from mechanical and electrical engineering, programming, medical experts and other specialities.
