Activity Two: Isolation and Confinement

Student teams form a company to research the deep space hazards of isolation and confinement. Teams will select mitigation techniques, design a solution plan and an optional prototype, a company name, a mission patch and a proposal to “sell” their company’s idea to a simulated NASA panel.
