NASA Contest: 3D CAD Models of Different Radiation Shielding Concepts
- État: Closed
- Prix: $1000
- Propositions reçues: 13
- Gagnant: lahiruCAD
Résumé du concours
We need your 3D CAD models and animations for ONE of three different radiation shielding concepts for a Mars spacecraft.
Pick your favorite of the three design concepts (see attachments) and submit your high quality CAD model and animation of your selected design.
In a previous challenge, we asked for novel folding/origami-based concepts for packaging and deploying a large radiation shield around a Mars vehicle in cis-Lunar space. From that challenge, we had three top selections. Each selection had positive benefits and areas for improvement and we are looking for ideas on how to enhance those benefits and make improvements where needed.
From this challenge, we are looking for high fidelity 3D CAD models of the stowed and deployed configurations of the shielding concepts, as well as high fidelity animations of how the shield is deployed. The CAD models will be implemented in our 3D radiation transport simulations to understand the total radiation reduction to astronauts from these configurations. The animations will support engineering design and feasibility studies.
All final CAD model submissions must follow these requirements:
- Format: .prt (SolidWorks or ProE) or .step/.stp (Step file)
- Correct material types must be associated with each object in the CAD file
- If there are any hollow objects, they must be modeled as a hollow object with the appropriate thickness. Do not just define the envelope of an object.
- Enhance benefits of the design and upgrade areas of the design that need improvement
All final animation submissions must follow these requirements:
- The animation shall at a minimum
1. start with the shield in the stowed configuration docked to the Mars transit vehicle
2. show how the shield is robotically deployed – include enough fidelity in the animation to understand any mechanisms that are used as part of the deployment
3. show how the shield is attached to the Mars transit vehicle, given the standoff constraints
4. end with the shield in the fully deployed configuration
- Enhance benefits of the design and upgrade areas of the design that need improvement
Submissions will be evaluated based on the improvements made to the concepts, and the quality and fidelity (detail) of the models and animations produced. Freelancer submissions will need to be image files of your model and animations. Entries should be in JPEG, GIF or PNG formats with an aspect ratio of 6:4 for easier viewing. Animated gifs are not supported. There is also a maximum file size limit of 250 MB. Please provide enough images to allow adequate evaluation.
Evaluation criteria:
1. Does your submission have a CAD model and animation of one of the three concepts in the attachments
2. Does your CAD model and animation accurately represent one of the three concepts
3. Is your CAD model and animation of high quality and fidelity (detailed)
4. Does your model and animation improve upon the concept you selected
This challenge will award at least one winner with an award of $1000. For the winning submission, the minimum has to include a CAD model and animation for one concept. Users can provide additional concepts, if they’d like, but at minimum it should be one concept/submission. Multiple submissions may be selected for prize amounts between $100-$500 depending on the submission evaluation.
IMPORTANT: See the attached files for the winning shield concepts with NASA feedback and a reference to the initial challenge details.
Please note that NASA employees/contractors are not eligible for competing in this contest.

Commentaire de l'employeur
“Lahiru D. was very professional and gave us the agreed upon work in a timely manner. He was responsive and especially patient in uploading the files for us a few times due to technical difficulties on our side. Thank you for your hard work on this!”
