SpaceLife is an educational simulator targeting the problems that a crew will face on a deep space voyage. Combining NASA GeneLab data and publications from the NASA Human Research Program, we have successfully designed and developed a game that accurately depicts the real-life scenarios of spaceflight, simplified to fit the skillsets of middle schoolers. In modern society, there is a lack of education surrounding space flight and its associated risks. In SpaceLife, players are surrounded by the foreign concepts of spaceflight, to educate the player on the dangers and hazards that space travel may present on a trip to Mars and beyond. It is time for a new wave of education around spaceflight, to stimulate the curiosities of people worldwide.

Education

SpaceLife encourages education related to space travel and its risks.
In an age where space is a relatively new concept, people must be educated about space and how the human body responds to the 5 hazards of Spaceflight.

SKILLS

SpaceLife displays the skillsets required to operate a spacecraft with minimal risk, and encourages the pursuit of STEM related professions.

Knowledge

In an ever changing world, there are always new discoveries related to space and its effects. SpaceLife keeps up to date with these discoveries to further encourage research surrounding spaceflight's long term effects.

Solutions

By encouraging education surrounding the effects of space travel, SpaceLife spreads awareness on the health risks of space to encourage research into innovative solutions.

Education spreads understanding of problems that need to be solved.

Spac e Life is more then just a simulator. It's a platform for education into what may occur during space travel, so that in turn, the next generation can find solutions.

about us

Space Life

Inspired to educate middle schoolers (Aged 10-14) in the dangers of spaceflight, the SpaceLife team was formed, and set to work in dedication of the advancement of space flight.

Mission Brief

NASA has collaborated with a variety of space agencies to launch the first manned mission to mars. A crew of 8 brave astronauts from around the world will embark upon the Ares, a massive ship of more than 1000 metric tonnes, and begin their 28 week, one-way trip to mars. This mission will mark the historic step in the advancement of humanity, and truly begin the age of space faring and interplanetary travel, expanding our scientific ventures, our diplomatic collaborations and our chances of survival as a species.

The Crew

Pilot

The pilot is another vital crew member, and usually complements the commander as a leader of the ship.
The pilot is generally in charge of contrrolling the spacecraft and navigating through the depths of space.
Without the pilot, a ship would have to rely on automatic systems or the commander to guide itself to the destination.

Commander

The commander is one of the most important crew members of the mission, as they command the entire ship and its crew.
A good commander needs excellent leadership skills, and needs to be trained to some extent in every field to act as a replacement or backup.
These jobs include: Therapy, piloting, navigation, engineering and so on.
The commander can be regarded as a jack-of-all trades and is a must-have for every mission.

Doctor

The doctor is another very important crew member, but is not 100% required for all missions, however for an long-term mission such as one to mars it is almost necessary. The doctors is in charge of maintaing the health of the crew, and ensuring no-one is injured or sick.

Communications

The communications operator is incharge of the communications between the spaceship and nearby planets, as well as organising a place to land, and attempting to contact other life forms if present.

Security

The security is incharge of enforcing the law on the spaceship, incase of an internal sabotage, as well as manning the anti-astroid weapon to deflect incoming space debris.

Electrician

The Electrician is tasked with the maintenence and repairs of the electric components of the spacecraft. This includes control panels, computers and electronics.

Biologist

The biologist is required in long term space missions, and is incharge of finding life, as well as growing the food on the ship.

Engineer

The Engineer is incharge of the maintenence and repairs operations of the spacecraft. This includes maintenence and repairs of the engine, the airlock chamber and certain non-electrical parts.
