| 10 | **In January 2017 the test campaign 17A will be performed on the spacesuits Aouda.X and Aouda.S.** | ||
| 11 | |||
| 12 | 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. | ||
| 13 | |||
| 14 | * **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. | ||
| 15 | * **Identify the need for follow-up evolutions** of the Aouda spacesuit simulator in hindsight of the AMADEE-18 mission | ||
| 16 | * 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. | ||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | 11 different tests will take place between the 2nd and the 6th of January 2017 in Seefeld and Innsbruck, Tyrol. Due to some software programming that might not be finished by January, tests 06, 08, 10, 12, 13 and 14 are planned for February. | ||
