Note:
SAMs- 1.1.1 At the present time there are significant Mars missions ocurring, in which our current human spaceflight is so complex that requires a large amount support from the International Space Station (ISS) Mission Control Center (MCC) in Houston, Texas. It is known that as human exploration expands deeper into the solar system, it negatively affects time-delay communications between the space vehicle and the mission control. For safety purposes and to avoid critical events; Team Broncbotics proposes a proof-of concept that will recognize crew interaction with the user interface, retreive a personality profile, analyze crew usage and take over in the cases of an emergency situation. The system can be used to monitor various parameters, display warning messages, and automatically track and correct any human factors that may be impeding proper operations. The main concept for this project was discussed for several days. It was eventually decided that the best way to approach the project was from a systems engineering perspective, and thusly work on it in parts. The main methods used for the system would consist mostly of Python 3.7 coding (for its portability and cross-platform functionality), as well as using an Arduino Uno; ATmega328P microcontroller board, for reading and logging sensor information. For the project, a simple and affordable system was designed, with the intended purpose of displaying information when needed, and logging data whilst making corrections for any kind of human error elements.
