High Gain Antenna Gimbal (HGAG) for the rover Perseverance of the Mars 2020 mission
MARES (Muscle Atrophy Research and Exercise System) is a European Space Agency (ESA) facility for research into the effects caused by weightlessness on human muscles.
The system makes it possible to investigate induced atrophy in muscle groups, both of the individual joints of the trunk and limbs and of whole limbs. For this purpose it applies a stimulus with programmable speed or torque/force to eleven different muscle groups of the human body in order to subsequently measure the subject”s torque/force and speed response.
Sener Aeroespacial, as the main contractor for MARES, was in charge of project management, the global design of the system, all the control, power and supervision electronics and all the mechanical and structural parts, as well as the software.
This system is integrated in the Columbus module of the International Space Station (ISS)and is part of the NASA Human Research Facility.
