Public award description
UNDER PHASE 1 OF SUBJECT SBIR, AIR-LOCK, INCORPORATED WILL DESIGN A SELF DONNING AND DOFFING REAR ENTRY HARD UPPER TORSO (REHUT) THAT INTERFACES WITH A SUIT PORT. THIS DESIGN WILL ALLOW SUITED, PRESSURIZED CREWMEMBERS TO MATE/DEMATE THEIR SUITS TO/FROM SUIT PORTS LOCATED ON LUNAR OR PLANETARY HABITATS, ROVERS, ETC. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT ACTIVITY BECAUSE IT MINIMIZES CONCERNS OVER DUST ENTERING THE HABITAT DURING CREWMEMBER ENTRY/EXIT AND IT MAXIMIZES THE HABITAT'S WORKING VOLUME BY ELIMINATING THE NEED FOR AIRLOCKS. FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS SBIR, THE BASELINE ARCHITECTURE BEING WILL FOCUS ON NASA JSC'S MK-III ADVANCED SPACESUIT AND THE SUIT PORT BEING UTILIZED BY THE LUNAR ELECTIRC ROVER (LER).
