Innovations for Assisting Astronauts in Space Station Construction

AI Thread Summary
Innovative designs to assist astronauts in space station construction should focus on maximizing efficiency in air supply, propulsion, and heat management. Understanding the specific challenges faced by astronauts, as detailed on NASA's website, can inspire effective solutions. Ideas could include tools or systems that enhance operational efficiency or mitigate common issues like space sickness. Simple yet clever designs that address these needs are highly sought after. Overall, solutions that improve astronauts' working conditions and productivity are essential for successful space station construction.

Does anyone have an idea of an innovation i could design to assist astronauts in the contruction of a space station? I really have no ideas, and am looking for something simple but really clever and effective. Help will be extremely appreciated :smile:
 
Physics news on Phys.org
What kind of assistance do the need exactly? Or, what the are doing on that space station anyway?
I think if you read about what they are doing (i.e. from NASA site), and what kind of problems they have, you can have some idea how to make their life easier.
 
Right off the top of my head, I can't think of anything to design that I wouldn't bother to design myself and thus keep the patent rights. As a general rule, anything that maximizes the efficiency of bottled air or propulsion devices or heat management would be more than welcome. A good prophylactic against space-sickness wouldn't hurt either, since most people in microgravity will experience it to some extent.
 
I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
