Flight Configuration- Gateway-Padded Refrigation enclosure unit

Objective: Design a protective soft bag to protect a refrigeration unit while it is being transferred inside Gateway.

Think a CTB bag style for research.

Key Features:

  • Development of concepts, digital models, and design evaluations
  • Meetings and collaboration with project stakeholders
  • Design for ease of use to enclose refrigeration unit, added opened/closed access panels that will provide access to front of freezer if necessary.
  • Multiple handle locations for ease of both ground and on orbit handling
  • Bag must have a padded layer to protect the refrigeration unit.
  • Utilization of aerospace fabrics and materials
