GYM FOR THE MARS!
Find a way to adapt common gym tools for a reduced gravity environment and design a workout routine that can minimize bone and muscular loss while being fun and easy to use during a long term mission. In doing so consider constraints regarding weight (equipment should weigh less than 500kg) and dimensions. Consider incorporating virtual reality to simulate a jog through an astronaut’s favorite Earth destinations or incorporate gaming to motivate users.
Considering the gravity loss in Mars compared to our world , we decided to adapt and create different gym tools for Mars. Data , hand drawings and basic solidworks drawings used for the project. Exercising is everything even if you are in Mars!
