Lance's Lab 9-12

Design Lance's Lab during World Space Week, October 4-10. Students may (and are encouraged to) work on teams of up to 5 people.

Write a report describing the features you would design into Lance's Lab and the justification for your designs. Include an abstract, introduction, conclusion and bibliography. You are encouraged to include drawings and diagrams.

Lance's Lab must have the same dimensions as the Destiny Lab module currently attached to the ISS—8.5 meters (28 feet) long and 4.3 meters (14 feet) in diameter—and you must show this in your diagrams. You must also decide where to attach Lance's Lab to the ISS (Assembly Complete) and should show this in a diagram.

Develop a schedule of activities for Lance to perform daily and a list of objectives for him to accomplish by the end of his 3-month mission. You are encouraged to relate Lance's activities to those of the astronauts currently living on the ISS and discuss how Lance's presence and activities would contribute to daily ISS operations and to the exploration and utilization of space.

You should present your design and justifications for the design to 10 or more people. The presentation should take approximately 15 minutes and include a question and answer period. You are encouraged to prepare slides, practice, and dress professionally for your presentation.
