Empathize
The “User Persona” combined with “A Day In a Life” methods were crucial in this exploration. (If you want to see the whole User Persona click below!)

Problem
For spacewalks, we need to attach ourselves to a cord to avoid getting stranded in outer space, which restricts our ability to move freely. Additionally, we equip jetpacks with fuel for worst-case scenarios.”
Insight
After analyzing “A Day In A Life” OF K-81. Despite all these leisure activities inside the spaceship, she misses swimming and specifically «Scuba Diving freely». She is getting anxious because she feels trapped.
HMW Question
How Might We create a Space-Suit where we can move NATURALLY with autonomy thanks to human-powered propulsion for the best Human-Space Interaction?
State of Art
Navigating a three-dimensional world like Iron Man is thrilling, yet even this superhero lacks a natural way to relax in outer space, as his suit is designed for rapid transit from one location to another. Moreover, the Iron Man suit also suffers from a lack of fuel independence.

Solution
Understanding human movement through and under water is crucial. Often, when considering zero gravity, we overlook its similarities to being in water. Since we have mastered near-natural movement in aquatic environments, why not apply similar principles to navigate outer space?

Hybrid Human-Solar Electric Propulsion
Swimming movements in the suit create propulsion at the user’s feet for free movement in space. Each stroke engages various muscles, producing differing energy levels. The suit harnesses solar radiation and muscle-generated electricity, enhancing speed during space swimming.
