Hardware Testing Mock up

Vera Klimchenko
Hey guys,

Did we decide on the hardware testing?

What were the ideas?

Hardware Testing

Michael Cunningham
 AVS Group

 Good Ideas from Last Semester:

 1)  Sleeping Arrangements

 2)  Ingress/Egress
 * Foldable seating, hammocks

 3)  Scaled model dynamics testing for lander 4)  Control panel layout
 * ladder
 * door
 * suiting up
 * handles
 * type of exit


 * Examine the different locations and orientations of the control panels that the astronauts will require throughout the mission
 * The usability of each control panel via human interaction testing in high fidelity scenarios
 * Possible Interfaces


 * Button layout, sizing, toughness
 * Manual Actuators
 * For sensitive mission profiles
 * For seldom used systems
 * Touch screens

 New Ideas: 1) Glove testing for buttons or the use of   Hybrid Elastic EVA  Glove   for the use on the display screen to assist in EVA
 * For total system status viewing and interaction
 * landing operations

 2) Display screen to assist in EVA, mission objectives, astronaut path planning for optimal resource management
 * Sizing and Distance of buttons
 * Augmenting glove for touchscreen
 * Touchscreen vs. Buttons - Less moving parts and wiring with touchscreen, more information feedback (display, colors, pictures)


 * on helmet visor
 * on arm
 * size, button position
