Space Technology And Waste Disposal for B.Tech 8th sem is covered here. This gives the details about credits, number of hours and other details along with reference books for the course.
The detailed syllabus for Space Technology And Waste Disposal B.Tech (R13) eighthsem is as follows
OBJECTIVES:
To impart knowledge on environmental controls, life support systems, shielding strategies and waste management systems during space exploration missions
UNIT I : RISK IN HUMAN SPACE EXPLORATION MISSIONS [9 hours]
Mission success: maintaining crew safety, health, and performance; carrying out key scientific goals; returning selected specimens or data; and completing public outreach activities-Cost riskrisk from budgetary issues, including unplanned expenditures or inadequate funding. Programmatic risk: risk created by political, management, or technical challenges – Biomedical risk: crew safety, health – Risk management schemes
UNIT II : ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL AND LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM OF SPACE
STATIONS [9 hours]
Space Environment – Human-rated vehicle requirements – Crew health and safety- emergency provisions- oxygen regeneration for metabolic consumption- Oxygen Generation Assembly – maintenance of cabin partial pressure, temperature and humidity – air purification for particulates and VOCs– carbon dioxide reduction assembly- Fire detection and suppression subsystem- case studies
UNIT III : SHIELDING STRATEGIES FOR HUMAN SPACE EXPLORATION [9 hours]
Ionosphere – Space radiation sources, models, and environmental uncertainty- Human risk models and risk uncertainty- Biological response to heavy ion exposure – human factors implications for shielding- Radiation shielding design issues- assessment of current shielding issues – integrated shield design methodologies- case studies
[TOTAL: 45 PERIODS]
OUTCOMES: The students completing the course will have the ability to
- discuss issues related to waste management and environmental controls in space exploration
- outline life support systems, shielding strategies and waste management systems during space exploration missions
