High-Level Project Summary
We must provide the necessary tools to ensure that the astronaut lives in space for a yearWe tried to put the necessary tools in the dimensions of a room 2 * 2 * 2 only, so we designed the tools to be placed in the room in an appropriate way and a limited space, for example, we used the space under the bed to make shelves for storage and made some tools for multiple use and we made some tools for repair and some supplies for entertainment, repair and personal use such as toiletAnother challenge is that we have 3D printers, but their doors are limited in dimensionsSo we discussed how to manufacture tools by taking them out with appropriate dimensions and methods of fixing them.

Detailed Project Description
The first part of the challenge is about designing the most important and necessary items for an astronaut who will live for a year in space in a small room that has dimensions of 2m * 2m * 2m. There will be there of 3D printers of 3 materials; these materials resources are concrete, plastic, and metal. Each one of them has a limited capacity for printing.
The concrete 3D printer can print any shape and any volume, so we can design and print items from concrete by the multitasking concept of these items to get the maximum benefit from them and achieve the optimal space that we have. However, we should consider that there are limited dimensions of the room's door, so we have to make sure that anything we print, we can enter it into the room. For example, we design a concrete plate with dimensions of 2m * 0.8m* 0.07m that will be divided into two pieces that will be handled by three concrete plates as columns on a 1 m height, this item will be used as a bed for the astronaut and as a table for his reports doings and so on, in addition, there will be two spaces under this wide plate, one is for boxes and usage of food and other things, and the other space is for a chair be suitable for the astronaut to use it for the table.
Overall, the 3D printers of metal and plastic can print small limited pieces, so we design a chair mainly of plastic pieces that will be combined by bolts of metal, these bolts will be tightened by screwdrivers of metal too. In addition, we design a washbasin and a shower, and a small game from these available resources to optimize the space for the room and luxury for the astronaut.
The second challenge is to assume the wheel of the spacecraft was destroyed, and we have to design a new one with the printers and the resources that we have. so, the divided wheel into three pieces, two of them are the half of the circular wheel with a diameter of 5 inches, and the third one is the circular plate that will be in the center of the wheel to combine all the pieces together with bolts and screws.
Space Agency Data
We get the most of the ideas from the nasa resources and journey that help us to get the best imagination of the problem and get the best idea to solve it , also we see many of experience form many space agency partners and see there reports.
Hackathon Journey
Our space app experience is the most interesting experience we have made , we did many works and have some fun .
the more important thing that we learned to think out of the box and try to find best solutions for everything.
we choose this challenge because all of our team are engineers and we can do it .
our approach to develop a 2*2*2m^3 room for the astronauts that he can live on it for a year by using 3D printing , also we have to print tools that he can use it on his journey.
We resolve the challenge by using many programs and use our experience to make a room with everything to live without lose 1cm from area to be also comfortable.
We have to thank everyone who help us and make the Hackathon to give us that experience.
