Novatores Ideas

There is a great deal of interest from national space agencies to go to the Moon and Mars. ESA wants to go to the Moon and establish a village there. NASA wants to go to Mars. Astronauts and Cosmonauts from all over the world are already living aboard the ISS. What can they do in their free time? It can’t be all about reading books or game play on computers. Think of new sports or games that could take into account the low gravity (e.g. a space lacrosse game, extreme basketball). What about real or virtual experiences involving the Apollo 11 landing site on the Moon? Or following the paths of Sojourner, Spirit or Curiosity on Mars using a form of cross-country skiing? Think of new ways for to astronauts to use their free time. To present your results develop an app that makes use of virtual reality tools.

A) A simulation based on virtual reality technology.In this game, the astronauts will face their expected problems on Mars, going beyond these barriers will train them for their mission. In addition, this game will let them spend their time in useful things.

B) Sport called “Space Rugby". This game will involve physical activities because they must maintain their muscle capacity, bone density, and cardiovascular health and to let them train as a hard as a professional athlete.
