Multifunctional Workstation Proposal
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University
eXploration Habitat (X-Hab) 2013 Academic Innovation Challenge
Sam Micheletti Carolyn Newton Eric Watkins
Frank Conenna Tyler Reece
Presentation :
Frank – Introduction, maintenance and repair, assessment plan
Carolyn – Synopsis, medical, academic integration
Eric – Significance, resources Tyler – Budget Sam – Design requirements, general design,
tools, galley, wardroom, education outreach & diversity
Synopsis Create A multifunctional workstation that can be transformed to any
of the following functions within a 5 minute time limit:
Galley
Wardroom
Medical Operations
Maintenance and Repair
Design an ERAU centered program to prepare, design, and test
prototype(s) for submission to NASA
Significance Give ERAU students experience
Orient students to the process of submitting proposals
Create a unique school program to meet the X-Hab Challenges
Interface with local businesses and schools for support and
education
Put our designs in space to support exploration.
Proposal for Multifunctional Workstations for Deep
Space Habitats
Design Requirements
4 Crewmembers for 14-30 days
All functions are equally important
Convert within a 5 minute limit
Convert functions using 1 Crewmember
Prototypes must be:
Flame retardant
Lightweight
Durable
Human centered design
Focused on common
elements:
Table
Built-in suction system
Modules support a function
Display
Entertainment connections
Galley service
General Design Features
Grouping of Functions Response Expectancy Compatibility Discrete controls where appropriate Configurable displays, regardless of selected
function
General Design Features
Rapid transformation between
functions
Extend/Retract
Rotate or swivel
Slide horizontally or vertically
Initial ideas and designs focused
on modularity and flexibility
Allows for easy reconfiguration
during testing to meet HF
design principles
Match design ideas to mission
requirements
Model / prototype basic designs
Design, Test, Re-design.
Development Plan
Tools CATIA
Technical Engineering software
Google SketchUp
Quick, easy 3D modeling
Large library of components
Free
Space Movement Simulators
May allow design testing with a simulated human in a
microgravity environment
Multifunctional Components
Galley Initially, large components will have multiple possible locations
Tabletop suction provides stability and cleanliness of environment
Additional suction always accessible
Water system always accessible
7 day storage of food within compartment
Multiple table designs will allow for testing flexibility
Oven, refrigerator, water, and vacuum module(s) extend on tracks
for easy maintenance access
Table system
Adjustable Table
Medical Operations
Medical supplies and equipment contained in a retractable drawer or easily
accessible module
Table suction, magnetic strips, and restraints built-in
Additional light, suction, and tool holders easily fold out from drawer or
extend from medical system module
Diagnostic equipment easily accessible
Primary and secondary displays allow for diagnostic data & alternate video/diagram
display
Medical teleconference / Remote surgery
One-Touch emergency button positions medical equipment
Maintenance & Repair Table for other functions will be used as a maintenance
work area
Standard space tool-kit will be equipped in crew station
Tools will be located in accessible areas close to table for easy to reach use amongst crewmembers
Wardroom Individual storage units for entertainment/ media
Equipment and interfaces providing flexibility and multiple functions
i.e. video teleconferencing, medical consultations, and other entertainment or emergency functions
Entertainment system (display/ audio) will include a network file access
i.e. music, video, documents, and pictures
Vehicle status will be displayed while entertainment system is inactive
Academic Integration Add an xHab inspired course to the ERAU curriculum
ABET accredited
Multi-Discipline team
ERAU program open to students and faculty from all departments
Fall 2014 Learn about tools used for design and evaluation
Learn research techniques and how to write proposals
CATIA, Google Sketch Up, ARENA
Spring 2014 Learn how to build the selected design
Give students a grasp on construction techniques
Evaluation of model using experiments and surveying
Teamwork & Composition
Diversity
Group composition
Recruitment
Local area resources
K-12
Internet
Social media
Education Outreach NASA Kennedy Space Center
Resources
Media Relations
Public Affairs
Other Departments
Assessment Plan
Summer-Fall 2013 Design Phase
19 Sep Requirements and Systems Definition Review
24 Oct Preliminary Design Review
5 Dec Critical Design Review
Spring 2014Manufacturing, Assembly,
& Testing Phase
13 Feb Progress Checkpoint Review #1
3 Apr Progress Checkpoint Review #2
15 May Project / Product Delivery to JSC
May-June Integration with DSH at NASA/JSC

Aug-Sept Testing
ResourcesAs the primary managers and point of contact, the ERAU team will collaborate with the following:
University of Central Florida (UCF)
Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University (FAMU)
Other relevant businesses and associate schools
Responsibilities of each institution:
Establish a primary institution contact
Assist with providing necessary resources in support of designing,
building, and operating this system

Knowledge Gained
During this project we learned how to :
Develop ideas into prototypes
Create and develop concepts that benefit the customer and crewmembers
Understand concepts that will be used in deep space habitats
Design flexibility into a system
Implement Human Factors design principles
This concludes the Multifunctional Workstations for Deep Space Habitats proposal.
