Abstract
This research is to design a preliminary microgravity random access system for deep space habitat unit via 3-D modeling and computational structure analysis. This designed system can be easily accessed with corridors in small space inside space station. The built prototype can be tested to prove its flexible and proper function. It can be applied to horizontal and vertical habitat while making product lighter in weight, safer in use, cost-effective in manufacturing, and reliable in performance. This system can also be applied to some aerospace stations that require fluids, power, gases, and data. The workstations in this system can be folded away when not being used to save space in aerospace station. The expected outcome from this research is to understand the ergonomics, zero-gravity function, and efficiency of stowage racks and moving equipment. The later research will focus on improving this system via computeraided design and analysis to verify the anti-corrosion processes and mechanisms through the investigation of nanomaterial theories, technologies, and techniques.
