NASA former Astronaut advice that is difficult to work

The common work can suddenly become very complicated in the universe.How is astronauts dealing with everyday work in space?Former astronaut D. Melvin, a former astronaut D. Melvin of the US Aeronautics and Space Bureau (NASA), who has been assigned to space in two missions.Let's deliver interesting contents by excerpted content.

——What do you think first, as you have to learn again to run in space in your daily work?

When going to space, all clothes are shrink packs (shrinking).In other words, the air is being sucked out.When you solve the vacuum wrapping, you need to pack those shirts in the locker.You have to think about the answer to the question, "How can I put this in?"At that time, clothes and things began to float around me.When you lose something, most of the time, when you look up, you may be just floating on yourself.

Cleaning was also important.Like the earth, I exercise regularly in the universe and sweat, but in the universe, I "Running Pants and Gatlettes ( * Gauntlet: Run between the two in the rows of people and whip from both sides.There is something I want to call "hitting)".Used training shirts, shorts, and sports bras are drifting around, and they can be rounded as small as possible so as not to rub in the face, mouth and eyes.

When shaving, go to the place where the air flows into the filter.There is a solid airflow there, so the beard shaved scraps go up into the filter.I don't want to see small hair particles.This kind of work is as common as the earth, but it will distort a little.

—— Can you train in NASA or other places?

There is a similar environment of space stations and modules, and you can train how to deal with these things.We go to check how the so -called common work, which we will do in the universe, should be performed.You can also fly ballistic flights to understand how to do something common in space.In ballistic flights, you can experience no gravity for 25 seconds at a time.

However, there is no practice to be trained in a non -gravity environment to do something to brush your teeth.So you have to have an idea.You have to connect no -gravity training to actual work and life in space.Most people think that they can switch quite quickly, but they need to understand.If you visualize the environment where you will enter, and receive no gravitational training several times, you will be able to do a thought experiment to do how to do common work in micro -gravity.I think you can really learn it right away.I have already visualized and have already done it.

——NASAが「タイド（Tide、P&Gの洗濯洗剤ブランド）」と協力して、水不足の環境で衣類を洗浄するのに使用できる洗剤を開発・試験するとの発表がありました。宇宙飛行士は、ついに宇宙で洗濯ができるようになるかもしれません。些細なことのように思えますが、宇宙飛行士や将来の宇宙旅行にとって、なぜ洗濯が重要なのでしょうか？

In the universe, the clothes are discarded because they do not wash.But in the future, if you finally go to the moon or Mars mission, or go far away, you will not be thrown away.Everything has to be reused.I think this is important in space exploration.Washing clothing seems to be mediocre and common, but it's important.It is indispensable for future space exploration.Otherwise, when you exercise, train, or work, you will run out of clothes.

—— In the future, there will be many new opportunities for civilians to go to space.How do you expect astronaut training to evolve and change to adapt these people?Is there any useful technologies like real reality (VR)?

Natural Buoyance Laboratory Institute for Natural Buoyance Laboratory, where a company called Star Harbor Space Academy (Star Harbor Space Academy) is used to take the airplane on board, robot engineering, and even VR.) We are considering creating.What if there is a VR suit that gives all the excites you want to be aware of as a space experience, such as touch, smell, and temperature?For example, when you decide to work out of the ship, you will feel the sun when you wear a VR suit and open the door.It is Kahana 250 degrees (120 degrees of Mr. Sei).The immersive experience of VR will be a wonderful tool for training people.

—— Is there any important advice for civilians who will eventually go to space?

It is self -care before group care.Before going to help others, it's important to be able to take care of yourself.In the universe, when there is another astronaut at the tip of the robot arm, it is necessary to operate a robot arm and work.Nevertheless, suddenly I am worried."Well, did you get back there? Did you get the right thing you need? Did you do everything about yourself?"So, be able to clean up your personal space, a set of equipment, and hygiene as soon as possible.Then, if you can help someone, do so.

The other is visualization.Close your eyes and say:"Okay, I'm shifting to the space station through the hatch from the spaces shuttle. I'm rotating 180 degrees."It's the same as when it comes to football.Run the course, catch the ball, and do a complete desk training that touches down.The same can be done in the case of operating a robot arm in space."I'm moving the parallel hand controller outwards. The payload is moving."I believe that civilians going to space should start with visualization training.
