Extravehicular Activity Systems (EVAS) Interfaces Team
• Primary – Dax Matthews– Bronson Duenas
• Support – Teresa Ellis
Extra-Vehicular Activity Systems
• EVAS is primarily responsible for providing the ability for individual crew members to move around and conduct useful tasks outside the pressurized habitat
• EVAS tasks will consist of constructing and maintaining the habitat, and scientific investigation
• EVAS broken up into 3 systems– EVA suit– Airlock– Pressurized Rover
EVAS I/O Diagram
EVAS – EVA Suit
• Critical functional elements– pressure shell– atmospheric and thermal control– communications – monitor and display– nourishment– hygiene
• Current suit is too heavy and cumbersome to explore the Martian environment
• ILC Dover is currently developing the I-Suit which is lighter, packable into a smaller volume, and has better mobility and dexterity
EVAS – EVA Suit
• I-Suit specs:– Soft upper-torso– 4.3 lbs/in2 (suit pressure can be varied)– ~29.48 kg– Easier to tailor to each individual astronaut– Bearings at important rotational points– Greater visibility– Boots with tread for walking on Martian terrain– Parts are easily interchangeable (decreases
number of spare parts needed)
EVAS - Airlock
• Independent element capable of being relocated as mission requires
• Three airlocks each containing three EVA suits
• Airlock will be a solid shell (not inflatable)• The airlock will interface with the habitat
through both an umbilical system and the hatch
EVAS - Airlock
• Airlock sized for three crew members with facilities for EVA suit maintenance and consumables servicing
• Down-selected to 2 airlock designs– Design 1
• Total Volume: 35 m^3 (4L x 3.5W x 2.5H)
• Advantages: easier don/doff, more storage, bigger workstation, more room for rover hatch
• Disadvantages: Volume displaced during transit, extra mass
– Design 2• Total Volume: 27.95 m^3 (2.6L x 4.3W x 2.5H)
• Advantages: Less volume displaced during transit, less massive
• Disadvantages: Less work area, much harder to get to emergency suit, possibly not enough room for rover hatch
– Decision will be made by structures based on optimal layout
• Mass TBD
EVAS – Umbilical System
• Connections from the habitat to the airlock and rover will be identical systems (including male/female connections)
• Inputs from habitat to airlock/rover (through umbilical system)– Water potable
