Purify the Air Supply

Has your time spent indoors increased during the COVID-19 pandemic as a result of stay-at-home and shelter-in-place policies worldwide? Your challenge is to use the International Space Station (ISS) as inspiration and develop a system to monitor and/or purify indoor air. It is entirely up to you whether the system you design is able to be used on Earth (for example in homes, businesses, transportation, etc.) and/or in space.

Immaculate Respiration

Summary

Our device will recognize pollution in air through ISS's sensors and determine the proportions and based on which alcohol and sterilizers are sprayed.We will make our device spread the vaccine mRNA-1273 which made by the organization NIAID, this vaccine help to prevent the virus enter our body cells. We will put it in hospitals, Quarantine.If we applied our device in real life, thus the air is purified. And doctors, nurses be less likely to be infected with COVID-19.

How We Addressed This Challenge

The air-quality data obtained from the International Space Station (ISS) provides much information regarding determine cabin air quality. Air quality can be maintained by striking a balance between the generation and removal of contaminants.

This shows that critical situations of the importance of increasing the indoor air quality of ISS which have the same importance also in our life on earth especially after time spent indoors increased during the COVID-19 pandemic as a result of stay-at-home.

we will benefit from the International Space Station (ISS) to take our information about the place where we will put our device. and run the device by a sensor to keep the air sterile.

How We Developed This Project

When we read about the ISS and the indoor air quality, we found that it is a big problem which we deal with it when we are in our closed houses, but we only at risk through it as we couldn’t imagine that problem is very dangerous, thus we started to looking for more information about the ISS and the indoor air quality and search about the problems which we must face in our home quarantine to find a suitable solution.

As anything in this life is developing at all time certainly we have a very big plan for developing our project. At our project, we use some simple things but it achieves our goal such as the vaccine MRNA-1273 alcohol and sterilizers. We will develop our device to spray this matter in fixed-rate by using the Arduino. Electronics and will use a language in another meaning we will add hardware to our device. Also, the matters that the device is made from will instead it with another that have a price cheaper than that we use and it does the same job that we need and with more efficiently but we need only some time for research also we planned to add options which are to use our project in the space.

We used different data collected from the international space station (ISS) and also information about the systems inside it, we also used different data from NASA website that were collected from the space agency, satellites, NASA data collection base and they indicate these topics “earth air quality data”, “air pollution” and “COVID-19 updates”. Also, the idea of our project stands on the data that the ISS would give us to be used in our project. We use different search engines as tools for doing our research from the resources that NASA gives us besides the challenges, ESA Resources, and data about COVID-19 updates from WHO website and resources.

The problems my team faced were finding a solution to reduce the number of people infected with the Corona-virus, especially doctors, nurses, and health workers, and to reduce the continuous increase significantly and how to use the ISS in our air sterilization project. And the achievements that we have achieved that we have found a solution to this problem by making a device and made it deploy the mRNA-1273 vaccine manufactured by NIAID, and this vaccine helps prevent the virus from entering the cells of the body.
