  7. Prototype Mars Planetary Suit

  8. Participating Schools

  9. 1. Researching Mars climate/geology/etc in the equatorial region. • 2. Identification of known sites of scientific interest with the potential for early human landing access. • 3. Comparing/contrasting these Martian sites with potential sites around DSU, paying close attention to methodology and documentation of selection process, with the identifications of possible sites by the end of October 2005. • 4. Becoming familiar with scientific and construction-type activities we would like to demonstrate with the suit....(DSU may be able to furnish the tools for the demonstration.)

  10. 5. Possibility of demonstrating use of suit during simulated surface emergency scenarios. • 6. Researching and emulating NASA suit test methodologies, perhaps in conjunction with Space Studies Department alumni. • 7. Identification of all material and resource requirements in preparation and execution of the test. • 8. DSU will look into the possibility of acquiring simulated Martian dust, to test both components individually and the entire suit.  • 9. DSU will make substantial contributions in crafting the sections of the final report dealing with Martian environment and suit evaluation.

  11. North Dakota State College of Science • NDSCS will be doing the machining and prototyping of the suit’s metal parts as; • Enclosure ring • Gloves disconnection rings • Boots disconnection rings • Shoulder bearings rings

  12. North Dakota State Univesity • Work is already in progress with team of students, lead by Dr. Dan Ewert at NDSU. • NDSU will provide the monitoring systems for the following: heart rate, respiratory rate, body temperature, external temperature and humidity. • NDSU will also provide the carbon dioxide and oxygen sensors for the suit.

  13. Turtle Mountain is invited to participate in the project to develop the wireless system for positioning determination, voice and video transmission.

  14. Incentives of Joining the Team • A chance to work and build connections with other students and colleges/universities across the state. • A final product you can say you had a part in making. • Access to professionals in the field of space suit design – NASA, Hamilton Sundstrand, etc.. • Local and regional publicity for your team and school. • The Dakota Student, The Grand Forks Herald, North Dakota Public Radio, UND’s Studio One • Minneapolis Star and Tribune • 10 days test campaign in April/May 2006, where each team will be able to send a couple of representatives.
