Space Suits and Life Support Systems for the Exploration of the Moon and Mars
How designing a spacesuit for Mars can improve one for the moon, prevent forwards and backwards planetary contamination and help stop the next pandemic on Earth
by
Dr. Lawrence Kuznetz
Former NASA Senior Scientist and Aerospace Engineer
Spacesuits are vital for human to explore and live on the Moon and Mars. Please join us and learn more and have fun!
Dr. Lawrence Kuznetz holds advanced degrees from Columbia University and the University of California Berkeley. His first project at NASA was a filtration system for the Apollo command module to prevent the return of hypothetical pathogens from the Moon. During project Apollo he was on Console at mission control using 41 Node man, a computer model of the human body and spacesuit he wrote to predict metabolic rate and consumable usage on EVAs which is still in use today. Following Apollo he was assigned to the Build Team at the Kennedy Space Center responsible for tile installation and final construction of space Shuttle Columbia prior to first flight. Following a decade of consulting and teaching during which he earned 8 US patents in the field of extreme environment protection, did a Post doc at NASA-Ames and taught at UC Berkeley, MIT (International Space University), he returned to the Johnson space Center in 2001 as Experiments manager for the Human Research Program on the Shuttle and ISS. During this time he wrote a notable white paper used by Congress to improve the HRP research process and created the bioadvisory Algorithm Violet. This Voice Interrogated Operator for Life support and Exploration Tracking is a smart space suit buddy system designed to augment Mission control or replace it at distances beyond the reach of real time guidance. In 2012 Dr Kuznetz left NASA to create the Hypernet Paradigm, a project-based STEAM learning tool and used it to form the MarsSuit Project, a space suit and life support system for the exploration of Mars which is now under construction. Dr. Kuznetz has written a climate change novel, a spacesuit users manual for kids 9 to 90 and Save the Shuttle, a space shuttle “autobiography.” He is the author of numerous peer reviewed journal articles including the first to show that liquid water can be stable in the Martian environment and that earth based extremophiles can survive in it. In the wake of COVID-19 he has come full circle, using everything he learned in his nasa career to form Planetary Pro-Tech (PlanetaryProtech.com) and create the Qsuit for future pandemic protection by preventing forward and backward contamination. On a lighter note, he was the only non celebrity guest to appear on the Johnny Carson tonight show on consecutive nights and enjoys playing keyboard at dark and dingy piano bars in his spare time.
