		<description><![CDATA[Design meets the future in Estonian Anna Talvi’s ingenious range of microgravity-wear, which has been designed with a Mars mission in mind. The Royal College of Art, London MA graduate, who has also studied mathematics and physics, combines biomedical engineering and material science to design bodysuits that can keep astronauts safe and healthy living in space for extended periods of time. Talvi’s interdisciplinary project involves working with scientists, doctors, researchers and private companies to solve design challenges, like how to combat bone loss and muscle atrophy in space, as well as keep space travellers fit. Talvi has designed an antagonist exomuscle bodysuit which helps to condition the muscles and bones to remain healthy in zero-gravity. This solution could also help earth-bound patients on bed-rest and those with musculoskeletal conditions in the future. On a practical level, the microgravity clothing has to be comfortable, tailored to the zero-gravity posture and movements, like walking with your hands. Because there are no washing machines in space station, antibacterial base layer membranes are used to extend the garments lifespan. The optimal set of microgravity-wear includes as much and as little as an astronaut needs to sustain in space. Talvi has also designed workout wear [...]]]></description>
