Week 2

     This week we started getting into the project more. We started out the week by meeting in class on Monday. After Dr. Gordon lectured, we spent the remaining two hours creating a mind map detailing our areas of needs, as well as researching further topics of interest, such as: the daily tasks and typical schedules for current ISS (International Space Station) astronauts, levels of torque typically experienced on different joints, and bone density loss.

Initial needs brainstorming

     The following day we met to further specify our project needs and brainstorm specifications.

     On Wednesday and Thursday, we started brainstorming project constraints and possible strategies that we could use when designing our project. We found that brainstorming 100 strategy ideas in an hour-long brainstorming session was extremely difficult for our topic, and did not accomplish this goal. Further time will be spent over the weekend compiling documents for the Deliverable and brainstorming further strategies.
