Spacesuit Intelligence: Integrating Robotics And AI For Astronauts

A good night’s sleep is a key aspect of human health, and this is especially true for astronauts working in the ultra-demanding environment of space.

After a long day of floating around in microgravity doing experiments, astronauts on the International Space Station retire to their sleep station, which is little more than a closet, for some shut-eye.

Inside the sleep station is a sleeping bag and laptop strapped to the wall, as well as some personal effects, like photos of an astronaut’s family or memorabilia from a favorite sports team.

It’s a far cry from the spacious beds we have on Earth, but it’s still better than the shared sleeping compartment on the space shuttle, which Mike Massimino, a former NASA astronaut, describes as “a big slumber party.” The trick, Massimino says, was to remember to strap your sleeping bag to the wall so your body wouldn’t drift around during the night.

But even when they’re strapped in, astronauts’ arms tend to float out in front of them while they sleep, making them look like tired zombies.

Astronauts are allotted an eight-hour period for sleep each night and are often expected to keep a log of their sleep schedule so scientists can learn how spaceflight affects this basic human function.

In recent years, OEMs are focusing toward introducing aftermarket services such as parts, maintenance, repair, and digital services as such kind of aftermarket services enable OEMs to leverage significant revenue streams with higher profit margins than sales of new equipment.

However, OEMs at times may lose ground to independent MROs or other third-party part manufacturers attributed to less expensive services offered by such MROs and third-party part manufacturers.

Thus, to retain the market share, OEMs must identify the loopholes by having a detailed examination of aftermarket lifetime value, which, in turn, also help them boost the core business during the forecast period.Read Report Overview: https://bisresearch.com/industry-report/strategic-assessment-aerospace-aftermarket.htmlAccording to Colins Aerospace, everyday hundreds-of-thousands of transactions take place between airlines and their aftermarket service providers for aircraft services.

However, various MROs are engaged in implementing new technologies including hangars & paperless shops, virtual maintenance training, predictive maintenance, and drone-supported maintenance to operationalize aircraft monitoring, improve technician efficiency and productivity, and bring actionable solutions to the airlines faster.

In order to deal with such circumstances, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) has taken initiatives to prepare a web-based pricing model which provide aftermarket players and airlines to real-time access to transparent market values for aircraft components, considering availability and delivery times for different parts and equipment.

The market has considerably evolved in developed regions such as North America and Europe and is gaining popularity in geographies such as the Asia-Pacific and Middle East and Africa (ME).
