My name is Nicolas Seguenzia, 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. Web: 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.NS1 model summary:My proposal for the design of the NS1 logistics module focuses on creating a solid and efficient structure that maximizes workspace and facilitates access to CTB cargo compartments. I drew inspiration from conducting a PCDC for each case presented by various authors in the official NASA Challenge https://grabcad.com/challenges/nasa-challenge-lunar-gateway-cargo-packing-and-storing I have centered and focused on providing ease of use, low maintenance for personnel, and avoiding the need for battery power. I adapted proven solutions, such as the use of manual action linear guides and carbon fiber shelves to handle the CTBs. I opted for compact carts that allow for both transversal and longitudinal movement to provide flexibility in the design of the mobile structure. I utilized a hook and strap structure proven by NASA ("Historical Information.pdf") to secure the CTBs during launch and operation phases. Additionally, I conducted motion simulations to demonstrate the operational principle of the guides with the CTBs, and resistance simulations to verify that the materials and structure are suitable for extreme conditions.
