Tools to aid astronauts solve problems
Evaluation on creative problem solving abilities
Unexpected anomalies often occur in space, threatening the lives of astronauts.
In the past, NASA's Mission Control has been able to help crew members solve the majority of problems. Yet, as we explore deeper into space, communication delays begin to impede their real-time support.
Going from 85+ experts to 4-6 crew members solving deadly problems, NASA is researching new ways to aid astronauts solve anomalies to increase their survival.
Nevertheless...
To kick start our project, we needed to understand what creative problem-solving is. Through extensive research with NASA and analogous domains, we identified the key qualities and essential patterns.
