Technische Universität München Microarchitecture Space Studies Project: personal hygiene assistant - pha Title: PHA - personal hygiene assistant Flight Dates: Oct. 26. - Oct. 29.1999 Principal Investigators: Bianca Artopé, Brigitte Borst Co-Investigators: Andreas Vogler, Constance Adams, Nigel Packham, Hubert Brasseaux, Ketan S. Chhipwadia, Mary Ellen Weber, Julia Habel, Claudia Hertrich, Ralf Kircher 1. Goal Proof the function of PHA in microgravity 2. Objective Subject of testing is a new full-body cleansing device for astronauts in micro gravity. It is a well known problem that the three methods of body hygiene - washing, bathing, showering - are almost not practicable in micro gravity. Right now astronauts use prepacked damp towels as a substitute for taking a shower. Since November 1998 we were, in collaboration with JSC, developing the „personal hygiene assistant“ , short: PHA. This device was tested in a KC135 flight as a new, easy and effective alternative for full body cleansing. The device itself - similar to a shower head - is small enough to suit a palm and allows easy handling, as former tests already proofed. The body of the device holds a sponge in the middle . The water is injected into the sponge. A cellulose cover on top of the sponge will be touching the skin during the cleansing process and is able to take off greasy parts from the skin. This cover will be exchanged more often than the sponge. Like a ring on the outer edge of the device the suction channels are located. Therefore no water can escape and the water flow will be controlled. Another advantage is the minimization of the water consumption. Former tests with the device on the ground show that the principle functions very well. KC135 gave us a very important possibility to proof this principle in micro gravity and gain comparable test data. © 1999 all copyrights of the shown projects are with the designers and the departement for design and architecture at tu münchen Issue: Date: 12/02/1999 Page: B 03
