SURVIVING ON MARS
SURVIVING ON MARS
There is a research project from NASA which focuses on improving astronaut spacesuits conditions. The idea is sending humans to the red planet in 2030. The first step is to send orbiters landers and rovers to gather samples.
They are creating a new spacesuit to improve astronaut´s life in the space. The characteristics of the spacesuit are:
- it needs oxygen and water
- it protects from cold and dust storm
- it lets you move kind of fast to excavate rocks and gather samples
They are testing different suits to see which one is less heavier and incorporates the minimized technology. The suit is similar to a mini-spacecraft and it is mobile. It´s called NDX-1.
This project is tough. The engineers work during 2-3 years to achieve the success for future astronauts to achieve the success for future astronauts.
How would you feel if you were wearing this suit for one day? It´s similar to entering to a spacecraft
