Our attire serves as a language, subtly revealing our intents and symbolizing our roles. Space exploration, venturing into unknown realms beyond our terrestrial confines, epitomizes the pinnacle of human accomplishment. It is a feat that cannot be realized without the power of collaborative efforts. The European Space Agency stands as a testament to this bold spirit of collaboration. It unifies 22 nations, each with their own rich tapestry of historical and cultural pride, into a singular, formidable entity. There is perhaps no finer testament to humanity's collective endeavor over millennia than this joint venture into the stars. So, how might we convey the noble objective of space exploration? How could we communicate this audacious quest as an effort to improve not only our understanding but also the condition of humanity and our planet? This we do by striving together, by achieving the seemingly impossible through our shared efforts and ambitions. <img width="1024" height="1024" width_o="1024" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8899df9fc0ac2dfa003259605232688170a0d2686980cc3dbb509e73e6890870/grid_1.png" data-mid="182577217" border="0" alt="A group of humans exploring the European continent for the first time.

To begin, we need to consider the spacesuit’s environment. For the past decades, astronauts have not ventured beyond Low Earth Orbit (LEO), but in the comming years, this will change. The first new environment will be the Moon. This type of environment is much tougher to work on when compared to LEO. Especially because of: - Gravity. Even at 1/6th of Earth’s, the very heavy spacesuits make it very hard for astronauts to move around. - Radiation. The Moon lies beyond the Van Allen belts and most of the Earht’s magentosphere. This makes it much more subject to solar and galactic radiation. - Temperatures. The moon has a 27 day long translation AND rotation period around the Earth, this means that half that time, the ground is either exposed to contious sunlight or in permanent shade. The Moon also doesn’t have any atmosphere, which would distribute the temperature evenly. This way sunlit areas might be 100K to 200K hoter than the shadows. - Regolith. It’s everywhere and sharp as glass. The moon’s “dirt” is actually much different from the Earth’s soil, especially since it is not eroded by wind and water, making each grain a microscopic glass shard that gradually can pierce any fabric, metal, plastic or human skin...

A helmet must be able to provide visibility AND to allow for shading elements. One of the imendiate problem lies in head movement. Although in space movies, helmets are designed with articulated necks, this is usually avoided in spacesuit design. Why? Well, there are several benefits for fixed helmets, such as: - less likelyhood of visor fog. - ability to use wearables inside the helmet as there is a larger volume - ability to use drinking straws, food supply or the use of&nbsp;Valsalva device. Below is the final concept drawing of the suit given all these constraints. <img width="1728" height="1118" width_o="1728" height_o="1118" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/200067db57387aead640d6030beff4a6b39bfab147b330aa2565917b146db646/Frame-5.png" data-mid="183686989" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/200067db57387aead640d6030beff4a6b39bfab147b330aa2565917b146db646/Frame-5.png" /> Communication is key for mission success. This means: - quickly explaining roles - indicating vital sings to team members - expressing the astronaut’s personality, cultural heritage, etc. This last point I believe to be as important as all others, otherwise why send people to space at all? Details One of the hardest components to design are the gloves. Astronauts need to work continuously with tools and manipulating their environment for multiple hours. This means that gloves are subject to extensive wear and tear, and a major failure point. The fact that spacesuits are preassurize and climate controlled means taht they need to be especially thick. This makes it hard for astronauts to gesticulate and move their fingers. The continuous pressure also regularly hurst astronauts finger nails, fingers and nails. Here’s a simple sketch of the glove systems with clearly separated friction elements and harder top covers with radiative capabilities. This means that: - these gloves can avoid wear and tear in the grip layer - they can also provide protection againts impacts in the upper hand area. <img width="2388" height="1668" width_o="2388" height_o="1668" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/70a8ec2df5a709b36fa8178de1a11a178878ee6601ebff1b541b61b7e134aedf/IMG_3672.PNG" data-mid="183686948" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/70a8ec2df5a709b36fa8178de1a11a178878ee6601ebff1b541b61b7e134aedf/IMG_3672.PNG" /> HUD and AR capabilities <img width="2291" height="1464" width_o="2291" height_o="1464" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3576d0ba25deb3e816c4f8bc7ea804e7118706a004b98de2b88e8f2a65d06809/huds.png" data-mid="183690046" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3576d0ba25deb3e816c4f8bc7ea804e7118706a004b98de2b88e8f2a65d06809/huds.png" /> Astronauts have a hard time moving through the strange Moon terrain. This is due to mainly two factors: 1. Regolith reflects sunlight in a different way than most environments on Earth. This makes it hard to understand shapes on the Moon. “Is that a crater? Or perhaps a mountain?” This was especially complained about by a few of the Apollo astronauts during EVA’s as they took much longer to navigate the surface. 2. No lunar GPS. At least for now, there will be no lunar GPS. This means that astronauts will need help to gavigate locally as well as keep track of longer distance markers in the case of farther expeditions. Beyond navigation there are many benefits for HUD systems: - communicating with other astronauts and mission control - object recognition and highlighting (geology or hazard avoidance) - keeping track of life support metrics (as well as time, temperature, radiation, etc). <img width="1747" height="1280" width_o="1747" height_o="1280" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5bc011aeba4e784fbc1639a1e9266b756b23283b0ac891386d7990f947a31d4d/Frame-14.png" data-mid="183689967" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5bc011aeba4e784fbc1639a1e9266b756b23283b0ac891386d7990f947a31d4d/Frame-14.png" /> “3dFication” In order to get a sense of the final design, a process was used that gets data from a simple 3d model, and use it to generate more advanced AI generated images.

Again, it’s not by pure chance or lack of imagination. The spacesuits need thermal regulation due mainly to two factors: 1. ECLSS and other heatproducing systems - The Environmental Control and Life Support System requires to radiate heat from all the interior machinery. However, on the Moon or LEO there’s no atmosphere hence heat needs to be conducted in the form of radiation. 2. Reflecting sunlight. Due to similar reasons as the previous factor, heat from the sun needs to be reflected and white fabric does this well. However, color is important to: - communicate roles and mission activities - visualize other astronauts in the middle of the&nbsp; - astronaut’s personal and cultural personalization. This way, this section is a sugestion for engineering development of better fabric that can use color as well as preform in space’s hostile environments. <img width="817" height="1456" width_o="817" height_o="1456" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/686448f1ad1dae9d636bbc69e4b728f9efae60e52de02583e2897284750a43b0/IMG_3646.png" data-mid="183690641" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/817/i/686448f1ad1dae9d636bbc69e4b728f9efae60e52de02583e2897284750a43b0/IMG_3646.png" /> <img width="817" height="1456" width_o="817" height_o="1456" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/21e7d3cdd63a41fa83a628a389d7fcaab5c1d72a139fce21636329b080e459d8/IMG_3647.png" data-mid="183690642" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/817/i/21e7d3cdd63a41fa83a628a389d7fcaab5c1d72a139fce21636329b080e459d8/IMG_3647.png" /> <img width="817" height="1456" width_o="817" height_o="1456" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5ef32028b17cf042e30df547113b67b903e7ab988aa04cb8ba124938ab5721f3/IMG_3648.png" data-mid="183690643" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/817/i/5ef32028b17cf042e30df547113b67b903e7ab988aa04cb8ba124938ab5721f3/IMG_3648.png" /> <img width="817" height="1456" width_o="817" height_o="1456" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/856da6ab5203951dd4e9d03c680e21d32c6ca0aa3814c32663f41116c8dd91ff/IMG_3649.png" data-mid="183690644" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/817/i/856da6ab5203951dd4e9d03c680e21d32c6ca0aa3814c32663f41116c8dd91ff/IMG_3649.png" /> <img width="817" height="1456" width_o="817" height_o="1456" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3c20709a926c1c8a232ba05b05f8e3e19dacaab33796d203284c792d780cc453/IMG_3650.png" data-mid="183690648" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/817/i/3c20709a926c1c8a232ba05b05f8e3e19dacaab33796d203284c792d780cc453/IMG_3650.png" /> <img width="817" height="1456" width_o="817" height_o="1456" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b796ac6bf007a9531e7ee289833fad155c2b56c3ff8d86360fd990047bc8c588/IMG_3651.png" data-mid="183690651" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/817/i/b796ac6bf007a9531e7ee289833fad155c2b56c3ff8d86360fd990047bc8c588/IMG_3651.png" /> Heavy duty trackingArtemis missions are aimed at exploring the Moon’s southern regions.

And, most importantly, how do you create a construction site on the Moon? For that we need to consider a concept of operations derived from the state-of-the-art knowledge of how SpaceX Starships travel to the Moon. First of all, there were needed two mission starships (besides the fueling tankers), during two mission phases: Phase 1 - Workshop vehicle launch - SS Rosas transfer mission will launch the workshop vehicle that will land on the moon without a crew.Phase 2 - Crew vehicle launch - SS 501 transfer mission will launch the return starship with the crew that will continue the mission inside the habitat workshop (SS Rosas) already on the site. <img width="1190" height="1294" width_o="1190" height_o="1294" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/58d5c291d56e63d0d25d5f198db5176fdb2121cd994ecf2a045ba90ab731dc0c/Phase-1.png" data-mid="168701276" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/58d5c291d56e63d0d25d5f198db5176fdb2121cd994ecf2a045ba90ab731dc0c/Phase-1.png" /> <img width="1190" height="1294" width_o="1190" height_o="1294" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fded33eda9eb270a2e531c2cfa1a099d557074d2348fed3a0939cb469d9ee9d8/Phase-2.png" data-mid="168701277" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fded33eda9eb270a2e531c2cfa1a099d557074d2348fed3a0939cb469d9ee9d8/Phase-2.png" /> The MOROCAS: Modular robotic construction autonomous system A modular, remotely operated, team of robots capable of preforming construction tasks.

Regolith coverage The lunar environment is a dangerous place. Micrometeors and radiation can be deadly to the whole crew and mission. This way a layer of regolith is deposited by the morocas along the duration of several weeksto months. <img width="3200" height="1800" width_o="3200" height_o="1800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d6ffe21c63937cce91bc32029b1757649d6c0fd6eb06a36617e8e4bb3dafec6b/base.png" data-mid="119398065" border="0" alt="Fully covered Starship-derived Moon Base." data-caption="Fully covered Starship-derived Moon Base." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d6ffe21c63937cce91bc32029b1757649d6c0fd6eb06a36617e8e4bb3dafec6b/base.png" /> <img width="2794" height="518" width_o="2794" height_o="518" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6a7c0dfc07904c7dfc694abe61d9a0f58162882cf571d0bd22433f016a34444d/sequence.png" data-mid="119398087" border="0" alt="Sequence of regolith layer deposition through a MOROCAS fleet." data-caption="Sequence of regolith layer deposition through a MOROCAS fleet." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6a7c0dfc07904c7dfc694abe61d9a0f58162882cf571d0bd22433f016a34444d/sequence.png" /> A window to our Home <img width="1030" height="348" width_o="1030" height_o="348" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f7c727224e96de652750f20d0b668823fb38c618ba90f5d404e8b4b08f832773/expand.png" data-mid="119398090" border="0" alt="Deployment of the OSCAR cupola from the interior of the base." data-caption="Deployment of the OSCAR cupola from the interior of the base." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f7c727224e96de652750f20d0b668823fb38c618ba90f5d404e8b4b08f832773/expand.png" /> On the side of the the starship, one of the airlocks is transformed into a cupola-style expandable volume. This enables a space for the astronauts to look at the exterior of the base, and, most importantly, to gaze at our Earth. The OSCAR cupola is retractable. This way, the interior of the base can stay under the protecting regolith, while the viewing area can stay outside for short duration observations of the Lunar vista, and of Earth. <img width="827" height="1030" width_o="827" height_o="1030" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e52bd37d818b4f136ee9fd187bdc7a19826e9023b1ed35b57706d8b14ddc51db/oscar.png" data-mid="119398095" border="0" alt="Fully deployed OSCAR cupola with the radiation shields open.

For every home. 2011 This design might look dated since it was produced in 2011. At the time, most 3D printers had a DIY, plywood construction look, but I bet on a more visually appealing design and it was widely embraced in the industry. While I was not a founder of the company, I worked closely with the founders at my alma mater's startup incubator to develop the design and product strategy. As the sole designer, I sketch and 3D modeled the concept and it was part of my master thesis.BEETHEFIRST was designed for education, DIY projects, and other introductory 3D printing purposes, and includes a learning curriculum and support and consulting services. It is easy to use, plug-and-play, and can handle multiple materials. It also has power loss detection and recovery features, and is only available for educational use.For more, follow the project at beeverycreative.com/ Awards <img width="203" height="202" width_o="203" height_o="202" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/eef7a71b157aba72c60b2b3a3f5be3f33da04f0d5a36113faa85234ea18308ea/BTF_exameinformatica-1.png" data-mid="120676250" border="0" data-no-zoom="true" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/203/i/eef7a71b157aba72c60b2b3a3f5be3f33da04f0d5a36113faa85234ea18308ea/BTF_exameinformatica-1.png" /> <img width="202" height="202" width_o="202" height_o="202" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/de9ea5f86dcd3abb74313cf66b27cebc0cf917e52016ba9c8649729cfdbe3938/best_prosumer_printer-1.png" data-mid="120676249" border="0" data-no-zoom="true" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/202/i/de9ea5f86dcd3abb74313cf66b27cebc0cf917e52016ba9c8649729cfdbe3938/best_prosumer_printer-1.png" /> <img width="203" height="202" width_o="203" height_o="202" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3281e8937fa538b039f217e293b46e2cd744e7d4c1e328614850a5fc05cf2810/best_consumer_printer-1.png" data-mid="120676248" border="0" data-no-zoom="true" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/203/i/3281e8937fa538b039f217e293b46e2cd744e7d4c1e328614850a5fc05cf2810/best_consumer_printer-1.png" /> <img width="203" height="202" width_o="203" height_o="202" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cc04889856e867e13f7a4a98fb083177b25c5d58bb577af29a7b5dc14c78d579/BTFseries_3DHubs1-1.png" data-mid="120676246" border="0" data-no-zoom="true" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/203/i/cc04889856e867e13f7a4a98fb083177b25c5d58bb577af29a7b5dc14c78d579/BTFseries_3DHubs1-1.png" /> <img width="203" height="202" width_o="203" height_o="202" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/211687f4e5bf27bb23b375d78d71c61bf2d1c3b21379935e48bb118c43424468/BTFseries_makemagazine-1.png" data-mid="120676247" border="0" data-no-zoom="true" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/203/i/211687f4e5bf27bb23b375d78d71c61bf2d1c3b21379935e48bb118c43424468/BTFseries_makemagazine-1.png" /> <img width="203" height="202" width_o="203" height_o="202" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cc04889856e867e13f7a4a98fb083177b25c5d58bb577af29a7b5dc14c78d579/BTFseries_3DHubs1-1.png" data-mid="120676246" border="0" data-no-zoom="true" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/203/i/cc04889856e867e13f7a4a98fb083177b25c5d58bb577af29a7b5dc14c78d579/BTFseries_3DHubs1-1.png" /> <img width="203" height="202" width_o="203" height_o="202" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3153a97e9eb642202a387a8685340090cb369e887a684aa71c215da4df87fbdf/BTFseries_3DHubs2-1.png" data-mid="120676245" border="0" data-no-zoom="true" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/203/i/3153a97e9eb642202a387a8685340090cb369e887a684aa71c215da4df87fbdf/BTFseries_3DHubs2-1.png" /> “The Beeverycreative Beethefirst ($2,499), the kickoff product from Portuguese company Beeverycreative, is not your typical 3D printer.

However, with the introduction of the BEETHEFIRST 3D printer, that began to change.As the designer of BEETHEFIRST, I believed that 3D printers could be more than just functional tools, but could also be consumer electronic products with a more appealing design. My bet paid off, as the BEETHEFIRST's visually appealing design was widely embraced in the industry and helped shift the perception of 3D printers from just functional tools to consumer electronics. Since then, the design of 3D printers has continued to evolve, with a focus on making them more user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing. Many 3D printer companies have followed in the footsteps of BEETHEFIRST and have designed their products with a more consumer-friendly look, recognizing the importance of design in attracting a wider audience. <img width="731" height="462" width_o="731" height_o="462" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2e179dc7c9f32575756dde538ad39bd50163501168f069d7eee4c40decac0e9d/cube.jpg" data-mid="163806017" border="0" alt="3d Systems' Cube 3d printer, 2015" data-caption="3d Systems' Cube 3d printer, 2015" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/731/i/2e179dc7c9f32575756dde538ad39bd50163501168f069d7eee4c40decac0e9d/cube.jpg" /> <img width="800" height="450" width_o="800" height_o="450" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cb78a5c8fa6ec7065945cd7b2bc929e39cbf846573dfde1fca629b23fe4965dd/07h8TukCPYYJrZT9LhKwWI0-2.fit_scale.size_800x450.v1574904103.jpg" data-mid="163805330" border="0" alt="Polaroid 3d printer, 2019" data-caption="Polaroid 3d printer, 2019" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/800/i/cb78a5c8fa6ec7065945cd7b2bc929e39cbf846573dfde1fca629b23fe4965dd/07h8TukCPYYJrZT9LhKwWI0-2.fit_scale.size_800x450.v1574904103.jpg" /> ︎ Home ©2023 João Montenegro, All rights reserved.
