This title slide is named "The Troubles of Travelling Through Space." Its subtitle reads: "Discover key challenges of space travel and emerging solutions."
Discover key challenges of space travel and emerging solutions.
This agenda slide outlines key challenges in space travel, including radiation exposure risks, vast distances causing delays, psychological and microgravity effects, and equipment/resource/navigation issues. It concludes with solutions and future technologies to address these hurdles.
Risks from cosmic and solar radiation to humans.
Immense scales causing communication and travel delays.
Mental strain and body changes in isolation.
Failures, maintenance, supplies, and pathfinding issues.

Cosmic rays in space damage DNA due to the absence of Earth's magnetic shield. This raises cancer risks for astronauts, while shielding solutions add massive weight.
The slide "Long Distances & Communication Delays" highlights that interstellar travel takes thousands of years at current speeds and Mars signals face up to 20-minute one-way light delays. It emphasizes that no real-time control is possible, making autonomy essential.

The "Psychological Effects" slide presents key stats on astronauts' mental health challenges. It notes 40% report depression from isolation, 25% experience less efficient sleep due to disrupted patterns, and 30% face rising team conflicts on long missions.
Due to prolonged isolation
Disrupted rest patterns
During long missions
Microgravity causes astronauts to lose 1-2% bone density monthly and suffer muscle atrophy, leading to weakened skeletons and strength that require rigorous Earth rehab. Fluid shifts redistribute body fluids headward, puffing faces, impairing vision via SANS, and straining hearts, countered by exercise, lower-body negative pressure, and drugs.

| In microgravity, astronauts lose 1-2% bone density monthly and suffer muscle atrophy from disuse. This leads to weakened skeletons and reduced strength, demanding rigorous rehab on Earth. | Fluids redistribute headward, puffing faces, impairing vision via SANS, and straining hearts. Countermeasures like exercise, lower-body negative pressure, and drugs are vital to protect health. |
Space equipment suffers accelerated wear from the harsh vacuum, lacks quick Earth-like repairs, and requires heavy redundancy for reliability. The Apollo 13 oxygen tank explosion exemplifies such a disaster.
The slide "Energy, Resources & Maintenance" features a table listing key challenges and their issues. It highlights heavy radiation shielding, finite fuel limits, the need for 98% water/food recycling, and repairs via robotic arms.

The "Navigation Challenges" timeline traces spacecraft navigation evolution from 1960s ground-based Earth tracking to 1970s onboard computers for basic autonomy. It advances to present AI-driven real-time adaptation in deep space and future quantum sensors for ultra-precise relativity-defying navigation.
1960s: Ground-Based Tracking Early space missions depended on Earth stations for position tracking. 1970s: Onboard Computers Introduced Spacecraft gained self-contained computers for basic navigation autonomy. Present: AI-Driven Autonomy Artificial intelligence enables real-time adaptive navigation in deep space. Future: Quantum Sensors Advance Quantum tech to deliver ultra-precise navigation amid relativity challenges.
The "Solutions & Future Technologies" slide presents a feature grid highlighting five key innovations for long-duration space missions. These include advanced hydrogen shielding against radiation, nuclear propulsion for faster travel, AI psychology support for mental health, inflatable habitats for spacious living, and closed-loop life support for sustainability.
