Space SuitUP

Out-of-this-world fashion with function: clothing or accessories for earth or space wear!

Every space traveler – even the robotic ones – should feel? their very best during the journey, infused with the very best data and technology available. Earthlings can follow suit. Design a space data-tech-fashion wearable in the form of clothing or accessories that will collect or distribute data and technology in the following categories:

Design for Interconnectivity (staying more connected to team, community, and tools)

• enhance the work/life experience of humans and/or capabilities of robots  

Design for Health (biometrics, physical and emotional health, and/or environmental alerts)

• maintain or improve the health and well-being of the human
• provide early warning for unhealthy environmental factors (air quality, radiation, outgassing, temperature)

Design for Entertainment (sights, sounds, music, activity)

• enhance the human experience whether during work or play

The solution is an open source modular system that allows the user various actions such as measuring important environmental variables, viewing her or his own body variables (pulse, body temperature, blood pressure, etc), and controlling a robotic personal assistant. The system can expand it's functionality by adding new "plug and play" modules designed to fit on a wristband. Experienced users could even design their own modules and fit them in one of the 3D printable cases available. The wristband and the modules are powered by a battery that can be charged wirelessly via an electromagnetic induction module whose source is a small solar panel, so the system can be recharged on the go.

Some of the current working modules include:

• -Robotic assistant control module
• -Wireless Electromagnetic induction charging module
• -Status display module

Future modules to be developed:

• -Heart pulse module
• -Air quality module
• -Enviromental temperature module
• -Body temperature module
• And many more...

This solution works as much for people in the ISS or space missions as for people on Earth. It can help medical professionals to get real-time crucial bio-information on patients with special needs, connect to other devices such as smartphones and network enabled home appliances, aid sports professionals to measure her or his body's performance during training, help measuring dangerous environmental variables (air quality, humidity) in disaster zones as well as controlling a robotic explorer for rescue missions.
