ARTIFICIAL GRAVITY V. 2. 0 5/5/2017

ARTIFICIAL GRAVITY BACKGROUND Astronauts returning to Earth from space does their best to smile, but struggles to stand. There is a variety effects that can happen after several months in zero gravity. There is a reduction in bone density, loss of muscle , vision is affected, even compromising the immune system. However, if mankind is going to travel to Mars, we need a more extreme solution other than exercising two hours daily to keep heathy. Our effort must be oriented to get artificial gravity. The following presentation is an approach to get artificial gravity, so many health problems can be avoid. 5/5/2017

AND THIS IS THE WAY WE GET IT: HABITAT MODULES ROTATE AROUND THE CONNECTING MODULE THROUGH FRAMES AND COMMUNICATE TO IT WITH VEHICLES RUNNING ALONG THE FRAMES. 2 HABITAT MODULES, 2 ASTRONAUTS PER MODULE.

DESIGN CRITERIA: 1. 2 IDENTICAL HABITAT MODULES ( 2 ASTRONAUTS PER MODULE ) IN ORDER TO AVOID OSCILLATION IN THE CONNECTING MODULE (CM). 2. EACH MODULE ROTATES AT 3. 88 R. P. M. 3. 2 VEHICLES TO TRANSPORT ASTRONAUTS FROM HABITATS TO THE CM AND VICE VERSA. 4. SYSTEM ROTATION AND VEHICLES MUST BE CONTROLLED FROM BOTH HABITAT MODULES. 5. TO ROTATE THE HABITAT MODULES AROUND THE CM, EVALUATE PROPULSION SYSTEM. 6. SEQUENCE OF OPERATION A. BEFORE STARTING ROTATION: - ASTRONAUTS MUST BE SEATED IN THE HABITAT CONTROL ROOM. - VEHICLES MUST BE PLACED AT THE DOCKING PORTS. B. BEFORE DOCKING THE VEHICLES TO CM - SYSTEM ROTATION MUST STOP - CONNECTING MODULE DOCKING PORTS MUST BE ALIGNED WITH THE VEHICHES FIGURE 11

BENEFITS: 1. ASTRONAUTS GET THE BENEFIT OF 1 G ARTIFICIAL GRAVITY , AVOIDING PROLONGED PERIOD OF WEIGHTLESS AND THEIR CONSEQUENCES. 2. MORE PRIVACY FOR TWO ASTRONAUTS. (MAYBE A COUPLE) 3. CHEAPER THAN OTHER PROPOSALS. 4. THIS ARRANGEMENT CAN BE IMPLEMENTED IN LEO TO STUDY HOW THE ARTIFICIAL GRAVITY AFFECTS THE ASTRONAUT HEALTH. FIGURE 12 Lorenzo J. Castillo V.
