Abstract:
The Mars surface infrastructure as anticipated for future human missions will probably include habitation, rover and other support facilities. With regards to potential EVA / science activities to be performed on Mars and related safety issues, we propose an additional crew support element: A portable and deployable shelter which can be employed in the event of an emergency requiring immediate act...
The Mars surface infrastructure as anticipated for future human missions will probably include habitation, rover and other support facilities. With regards to potential EVA / science activities to be performed on Mars and related safety issues, we propose an additional crew support element: A portable and deployable shelter which can be employed in the event of an emergency requiring immediate action and where return to the base / rover is not possible without undue risk.
Following the study of possible emergency scenarios and the definition of design criteria, a series of preliminary designs for an emergency shelter have been developed within an academic design studio. A 1:1 prototype was built and tested during the Morocco Mars Analog Field Simulation in February 2013 as part of an operational evaluation of this deployable and portable multipurpose shelter.
On-Site, in Morocco the operability (deployment and retraction), the durability (multiple deployments), functionality (human-equipment-shelter) and adaptability (functional usability) were tested by analogue astronauts. Additional issues that were explored and evaluated included spatial usability, ergonomic suitability to actions and individual perception of comfort in relation to the required activities.
This paper introduces potential emergency scenarios and the design criteria for an emergency shelter. Furthermore, selected design concepts will be introduced and the current prototype will be presented, concluding with lessons learned and updated design requirements.
