NASA 3D Design Challenge

When astronauts go to the moon or even just to the ISS, there are millions of risks they are facing every second in space. One of these risks getting cancer in space because there is no ozone layer.

The ozone layer plays an important part in our survival here on Earth. The ozone layer is located in the Earth’s stratosphere. It protects us from harmful ultraviolet lights that are damaging to our skin and bodies.

However, when the astronauts go into space, they leave the Earth’s atmosphere making them prone to ultraviolet rays. Scientists have pondered this question long enough, so I decided to make an artificial ozone layer

Ozone in the Earth's stratosphere is made by ultraviolet light striking ordinary oxygen molecules holding two oxygen atoms (O2), splitting them into individual oxygen atoms (atomic oxygen); the atomic oxygen then combines with unbroken O2 to create ozone, O3.

This tool main goal is to make a stronger and more high tech ignition.the circuit on the right side holds liquid and solid propellant fuel.once the solid propellant fuel is ignited, it blasts on the liquid propellant fuel that activates the turbine and powers the thrust engine and the battery that keeps the door shut for extra tiny particles of flammable oxygen and powder.As the liquid propellant fuel makes its journey around the thrust engine, it mixes with solid propellant thrust and cools it down.once the combined thrust reaches the thrust engine, it ignites again by adding tiny particles of flammable oxygen and flammable powder that the battery has been holding back one by one. Finally, the thrust engine ignites one last time and fires its strongest.this will eventually get the main payload or crew moving using this strong thrust at the engines.this process may take up to 5 seconds to finally ignite.

This is the winning submission to the original NASA competition, a multipurpose precision maintenance tool. This is very complex, so don't worry if this is too difficult to create!

Who knows? Maybe, in the future, we might trash Earth so much, to where it isn't even habitable anymore. In that case, we'll need to relocate to another place. But where could that be? Well, the rest of the planets aren't very habitable, and neither are the asteroids. With little or no atmosphere, we would get destroyed under the extreme conditions, with the solar wind constantly attacking our civilization. No, we need a new, unique, crazy idea. One proposed idea is called the Alderson Disk, and it is basically a giant man-made disk that can house A LOT of people, and by a lot, I mean billions of billions of people. It is shaped like a disk with a hole in the center, where the Sun sits. However, there is one issue: the sun is massive, making up almost all of the mass of the entire Solar System. So how can we make sure that the Sun and the disk don't collide? Well, that's where my contraption comes in. Dark energy is believed to be the reason the Universe is expanding still even after about 14 billion years. And, if we're advanced enough to start building an Alderson disk, it's safe to say we've figured out dark energy by now. Using dark energy shaped to fit that of a sphere lying at the center of a torus, the dark energy can keep the Sun away. Of course, this solution is quite unique: how? Well, gravity comes from mass, so to counter the Sun's pull on the disk, we would need an Alderson disk of 3000 solar masses! Now that's a lot! But with the help of my AGC, we can reduce that amount by a lot, down only to what we need. Additionally, dark energy doesn't counter gravity with gravity; it counters it with expansion. It doesn't have an immediate effect, because it is evenly distributed throughout space and time. However, it has an effect on the universe as a whole, which is enough to keep the Sun at a good distance. The red sphere in the center contains the dark energy. The torus shape surrounding it, along with the blue cone and sphere help regulate the effect, so if dark energy takes over and our disk begins to expand, we can force that energy into one small area, and push it out into another area (the light blue sphere) to harness that energy to help run our civilization. .

we know that all astronauts have oxygen when they go to space. But what if the NASA had a problem that the astronaut had to stay in space for a month! then if that happen's they need oxygen, so that is why I made oxygen bottles so they can stay if they have any problem. One bottle lasts 2 weeks.

My Multi-Task Tool is a container with tools. I designed it so that you can have a wrench (for repairs) a hammer (for whatever you want to use a hammer one) a screwdriver (for more repairs) and a little sharp thing on top (for whatever).

This is the junior division winner of the original NASA competition, a planter that allows astronauts to grow and experiment on plants in space.
