Lectures & Workshops: Day 3
Space Technologies used on Earth
David Vili
Founder & CEO
SolarSpace
Using cutting-edge solar energy generation technology (University of Arizona & NASA), SolarSpace offers a solution to Cooling Down AI Data Centers and Water Desalination needs due to increased demand for AI, unprecedented droughts, and water shortages. Large mirrors focus sunlight onto a small focal point reaching 1,000°C in less than 8 seconds. This heat is converted into Sound Waves, and Sound Waves into Electric Power or Cooling with unprecedented efficiencies, offering grid- independence while cutting down the costs by over 30% and generating immense quantity of Carbon Credits.

A Space Analog for the Moon and Mars (SAM)
Space Analog for the Moon and Mars (SAM)
A hermetically sealed habitat analog helps us prepare for the challenges of living and working away from our home world, on the Moon and Mars. By isolating research teams in a sealed space for various periods of time SAM provides a unique, powerful environment in which to conduct a multitude of studies in mechanical and plant-based life support, plant biology, bioregeneration, food studies, haptics and tool use.
Reduced Gravity Simulator
The SAM Reduced Gravity Simulator is a mechanical means to reduce the apparent weight of a suited or unsuited individual for the purpose of training for movement in less than 1g gravitational fields, to test equipment and procedures, and to learn how a rover might operate when moving over varied terrain in 1/3 (Mars) or 1/6 (Moon) gravity.
