LGC - Lunar Gateway Cargo Packing and Storing

grabcad

My name is Bianca Delprato, I am a mechanical engineering student at the Faculty of Exact Sciences, Engineering and Surveying (FCEIA) of the National University of Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina (UNR): FCEIA-UNR (https://web.fceia.unr.edu.ar/es/) This is a practical work for the subject M-25 Synthesis of Mechanisms and Machines, directed by Professor Marcelo Valderrey | GrabCAD, and corresponds to the edition of this subject taken during the first quarter of 2024. It is a work based on the results of NASA CHALLENGE (https://grabcad.com/challenges/nasa-challenge-lunar-gateway-cargo-packing-and-storing) for which I formally give credit to all its participants and explain, in the attached file, the use that I have given to their ideas and models during a practice of "Convergent Divergent Creative Postprocessing" that is part of the design method that I study in this subject. The aim of this work is to, through the study of the 89 proposals made for this challenge, discern new solutions. The solution I propose is based on the work of designer S Satish Kumar (Lunar Gateway Cargo Packing and Storing), adopting a combination of the load fixation systems proposed by designers Swagan Faster (Lunar Gateway Cargo Packing and Storing) and Joshua Wilhelm (BUBLS-Bulk Utility Binding and Lashing System).The details of the PCDC process, as well as the analysis of each design, can be found in the attached documents. Additionally, I have prepared a presentation of the combination of proposals as a practice for future competitions.
