SPACE FASHION - BIOSUIT

This time I want to draw your attention to a completely different subject.

Yes, we are going through a very difficult time.

On the one hand, we continue to fight against covid-19, and on the other hand, we try to maintain our existence in disintegrating economies.

But while all this is happening, the world continues to run confidently towards the future without slowing down.

While we are thinking about how our broken business orders will return to their old days, how we can deliver our new collections to our customers, and how we will manage to sell them in this stagnant world economy; In completely different parts of the world, other people are working on projects that we would never even think of and shaping the future.

Their work not only opens up new horizons for us, but also enables the creation of new sectors and lines of business.

So what are the studies that led to these new formations?

I guess the news about the international space station and the tests carried out at SpaceX in recent months have not gone unnoticed by enthusiasts.

Frankly, space was not an area that I was very interested in, other than my personal curiosity in technology and innovations. Until last year, in WGSN's 20 trends of the 20s post, "Space Race"; and 'Biosuit' until the details caught my attention.

I don't know about you, but I was not aware of most of the developments mentioned below until I started researching these topics.

What about you;

• The first civilian crew to be sent to the international space station is expected to be sent in 2022 and the crew is < /a>explained,

• The first commercial space station will be launched in 2024

• Built by Axiom Space will have been done,

• Virgin Galactic, Blue Origin, Companies like SpaceX have started taking reservations today for space travel, which they plan to start in 2025,

• First space hotelin 2027

• It is planned to be put into service by Orbital Assembly ,

• Space construction companies have been established for projects planned to be carried out in space,

• Nasa organized a design competition to establish a base on the Moon,

• Again by NASA It is planned to build structures and establish a base on the moon with 3D printing technology using moon sand by 2030,

• In order to be used by astronauts and tourists in space tourism, studies on the Moon or Mars, Prof.Dava Newman and his team developed a more ergonomic new generation and 'Biosuit' that they are working on astronaut suits, which they call

• With the joint work of Adidas and the International Space Station, a sneaker that can adapt to the zero-gravity environment was designed for space travel,

Did you know?

To tell you the truth, I'm 'Biosuit' and 'Space Race' I didn't know it had come this far until I started doing research on the titles.

We have all read that serious reservations are made for space travel on the internet. But the issue has gained a dimension other than going to space.

Are we aware of it? I'm not sure about that.

It seems that serious progress has been made in many areas from tourism to accommodation to clothing, and when the R&D studies and product development reach the desired level, the doors of a new world have opened.

The first space hotel belonging to Orbital Assembly Corporation is planned to be opened in space in 2027. Just six years later.

Nasa plans to complete the construction of a base to conduct research in the lunar geography by 2030. Just nine years later.

In 2012, Prof. Dr. In her article published by Dava Newman 'Biosuit' He shared his work on the new generation of astronaut suits, which he calls the

In 2014 MIT news office published his article that gave the first signals about the studies on biosuits.

While we were trying to decide which fabric, which model, which concrete, which iron...

In other parts of the world, people are working to build construction for life in space and to develop clothing that will enable them to work comfortably in space, on the Moon or on Mars, and to travel more easily.

For all space-related investments, 'like the first years of the internet' It's called.

What the Internet was in 1989, the same things are said today for space tourism, life in space, and clothing products designed for space.

If we are planning to do something for tomorrow, I believe that products and systems developed for space should be at the top of the issues we will evaluate.

Considering that change is accelerating, in 2025 karmân lineand holiday plans in space can be made in 2040...

Who wouldn't want to spend 3 days in a room with a view of Mars?

Given the situation like this, I think we need to change where we look.

This does not mean that if there are these developments, we will give up our attention to today and focus all our attention on this area.

But these developments are proof that technological fabrics will be the masters of the future.

While digital fashion and sustainable methods are forcing us to change the understanding of textile as we know it in a positive way, from another corner comes a plane where we will begin to relate to space at a greater speed.

In this case, it is a necessity for institutions to invest in the world of tomorrow while serving the world of today in order to gain a strong place in the world of tomorrow.

A conclusion revealed by all these developments is that it would be the right move for the fabric industry to turn its direction to developing technological fabrics and sustainable production methods.

Fabrics that can clean themselves without the need for water by using silver ions in their production, fabrics that protect from radiation and electromagnetic waves, previous ones

'Active Wear' As I introduced in my article, investments should be made to establish teams and develop products such as fabrics that can access our electronic devices via Bluetooth, fabrics that can control our body health using the circuits within them, send us warning signals, and send us guidance through vibrations so that we can perform certain movements.< /p>

It would be much better for individuals working in the sector to shift their education or career towards this direction.

I predict that departments and certificate programs on spacewear will be opened in international universities very soon.

Perhaps even new departments will be created covering design and engineering for space textiles.

Finally, let's say this to the attention of everyone who is planning a master's or doctorate degree.

I wish you to stay with love and health;
