Space Galaxy 93
The evolution of space helmets is revolutionizing astronaut safety. With advancements in technology, the latest space helmets offer enhanced impact protection, improved communication capabilities, and augmented reality displays for heightened situational awareness. These innovations enable astronauts to undertake increasingly ambitious missions while minimizing risks, ensuring their well-being in the harsh conditions of space exploration. The current helmet is being developed using emerging technologies such as:
1- 3D Printing : To reduce the high cost of the current helmet, where the price ranges between 150 - 180K dollars, the innovation helmet is made of carbon fiber materials, which makes it lighter than normal helmets.
Moreover, the dimensions of this helmet can be customized depending on the specific dimensions. Although , they are similar in size to regular sapace helmets, it has a design that allows astronomers to look up at the sky without obstruction while providing protection from ambient light and other environmental factors.
2- Argument Reality (AR) technologies: The astronaut’s vital data appears on the right side of the helmet’s internal screen, and information about items appears in front of the astronaut on the left side of the helmet.
3- Artificial Intelligence (AI): The helmet is connected to internal sensers and external cameras to analyze the astronaut’s vital signs, the elements in front of him, and also the environment around him.
4- Machine Learning: The helmet is connected to the vital devices attached to the astronaut’s suit, so that changes in vital signs such as oxygen flow, muscle atrophy, balance and gravity are sensed and adjusted as needed.
