The X-HAB 2016: Medical Bay Thesis Report consists of the final presentation held on May 6th, 2016 with the current OSU X-HAB Faculty (Dr. Jacob, Dr. O'Hara) and several NASA correspondents. The Exploration Habitat Academic Innovation Challenge allows undergraduate students from various disciplines (engineering, architecture, etc.) to develop solutions to challenges faced in deep-space transit. The Integrated Medical Bay team of 2016 focused its efforts upon enhancing a currently existing analog habitat (ReHAB) with an automatized medical bay. The medical bay builds upon a finalist concept of the Fall 2015 Spacecraft Design course to deliver fast and quality medical care in case of emergency. The semi-automatic hydraulic system was designed and implemented through the application of material science, strength of materials, systems engineering and mechatronics.
