1 +**In January 2017 the test campaign 17A will be performed on the spacesuits Aouda.X and Aouda.S.**
2 +
3 +Testing will be done on various subsystems of the suit to either commission new items, re-qualify evolved systems or measure performance, ranging from thermal testing, head-up-Display, glove dexterity and so on. To provide Mars like temperatures a cryo-chamber will be used to perform the tests under realistic circumstances, also a state-of-the-art radio frequency spectrum measurement will be done.
4 +
5 +* **Evaluate and document selected subsystems of the Aouda spacesuit simulator** for their performance and identify vulnerabilities. This includes the evaluation of selected complementary hardware items, such as the WLAN infrastructure, solar cells, a 360° camera and testing selected new operational procedures.
6 +* **Identify the need for follow-up evolutions** of the Aouda spacesuit simulator in hindsight of the AMADEE-18 mission
7 +* Provide a **training opportunity** for students to be part of a structured test campaign and **share the fascination of Mars exploration** with a wide audience.
8 +
9 +The following tests have been scheduled:
10 +
11 +* Test 01: Demonstrate that the suit performs nominal under humid or light rain conditions.
12 +* Test 02: Functionalities implemented in summer 2016 should perform nominal and show up on the head-up-display and be commanded by the analog astronaut.
13 +* Test 03: The sensors shall demonstrate their performance under various environmental conditions.
14 +* Test 04: This test measures the suits electromagnetic emission spectrum.
15 +* Test 07: A cryo/heat-test shall evaluate the suits performance between -110° to 35° Celsius.
16 +* Test 09: 3d performance envelope determination
17 +* Test 15: This test analysis the ergonomics of the exoskeleton for its next generation version.
18 +* Test 16: A tesla coil will be deployed to test the vulnerability of the Aouda suit to lighting produced by Martian dust devils.
