Over the last weeks the “pre-CDR’s” (preliminary Critical Design Reviews) took place in our partner schools. The teams presented their detailed concepts & prototypes for the Serenity spacesuit to the OeWF team leads and had to answer critical questions. This is an important milestone within the spacesuit project, as subsequent, the implementation of the soft- and hardware can begin.

Team Braunau

Several teams at the „HTL Braunau“ (technical high school)  are involved with the Serenity spacesuit: in team „Power Management“, Magdalena Schaber and Sarah Schinwald presented u.a. the selected components for the power subsystem.

“We heard from the school about this unique opportunity to work with the OeWF in a space project. From the beginning we were very excited and accepted the challenge so we entered the project group. We hope for a good cooperation within the project team,  exciting tasks and in the end a great result for all systems” report both students

Presentation of the power subsystem components

The high school students Dominik Bruckner and Lukas Tobisch are occupied with a subtask for the  TCS (Thermal Control System) and presented their concept for the ventilation system.

Team Ferrarischule Innsbruck

The high school students from the “Ferrarischule” (high school for economy & fashion) can show their competences with the selection of textiles materials for the Serenity spacesuit. Besides material selection for the outer hull also topics like undergarment, gloves and shoes are part of their work package.

Team Anichstraße

The high school students from the „HTL Anichstraße Innsbruck“ (technical high school) are involved in following subsystems: helmet  and suit-port (suit port is the external docking part for the Serenity spacesuit).

Team HTL Fulpmes

In this technical high school the high school students Patrick Guglberger and  Maximilian Guggenbichler are working on the new HUT (Hard Upper Torso) for the Serenity spacesuit. The first CAD models were presented during the pre-CDR.

The OeWF team leads were impressed by the professional planning & presenting of the students.  A teacher from the HTL Anichstraße summarizes: “The students acquire competences, which can be hardly communicated through regular lessons: true international cooperation, the experience, how to rely on distributed development teams and the know-how in a different special field. – A really great project”
