    摘要: A system for an atmospheric suit includes one or more modular proximity sensors (150) affixed to corresponding one or more portions of the atmospheric suit. Each of the one or more proximity sensors (150) provides a distance to a nearest object from the corresponding portion of the atmospheric suit. The system also includes processing circuitry (140) to obtain the distance from each of the one or more proximity sensors (150) to the nearest object and to provide information to the wearer of the atmospheric suit.

    摘要: A component assembly for a space environment includes a main body (12), and a plurality of main body openings (40) in the main body (12). Each main body opening has an identical cross-sectional shape. A plurality of inserts (22) are installed to the main body (12) at respective main body openings of the plurality of main body openings. Each insert of the plurality of inserts (22) defines a fluid port for a fluid flow to flow into the main body or out of the main body via the respective main body openings. At least two fluid ports have a different cross-sectional configuration.

    摘要: An equipment cleaning apparatus for an extraplanetary environment includes a cleaner vessel (12) positioned at an exterior of an extraplanetary habitat, and an exterior hatch (16) located outside of the extraplanetary habitat and allowing access to an interior of the cleaner vessel (12). The cleaning apparatus is operable in one or more cleaning cycles to clean equipment located in the cleaner vessel (12). A method of cleaning equipment in an extraplanetary environment includes providing a cleaner vessel (12) at an extraplanetary habitat, placing one or more articles of equipment into an interior of the cleaner vessel through an exterior hatch (16) located outside of the extraplanetary habitat, closing the exterior hatch (16), and operating one or more cleaning cycles on the equipment in the cleaner vessel (12).

    摘要: An airlock (10) for an extraplanetary environment includes an enclosed volume (22), an interior hatch (18) separating the enclosed volume from a pressurized space (12), and an exterior hatch (26) separating the enclosed volume from an external environment (14). The enclosed volume is selectably variable to reduce a mass of resources, lost into the external environment from the enclosed volume. A method of assembling an airlock for an extraplanetary environment includes defining an enclosed volume, positioning an interior hatch at the enclosed volume separating the enclosed volume from a pressurized space, and positioning an exterior hatch at the enclosed volume separating the enclosed volume from an external environment. The enclosed volume is selectably variable to reduce a mass of resources lost into the external environment from the enclosed volume.
