According to current estimates, more than 750 thousand objects larger than one centimeter are present in the Earth’s orbit.

How can we help solve the problem?

In our project, we combined a video game and a real garbage collector.

The noMad project geometry has not yet been used by modular robotics scientists. The distinguishing feature is a transformation of the module from octahedron to icosahedron and cuboctahedron and then all the sequence back. This movement, translation of neighboring modules with simultaneous rotation, provides certain uniqueness and charm to the system.

As the first step, we propose to use the noMad's structure as a modular constructor for children and adults to improve their imagination and construction skills.

The second step is a video game, that simulates the noMad catching space debris. This must interest people in the topic of space debris and push to find ways to solve this problem.

The world was obsessed with PokemonGo. Why won't we use this obsession in popularizing global problem solution? You compete with your friends, you upgrade your noMad, you find ways of catching space debris faster.

The third step is real noMad that is ruled by a scientist who had grown playing with the constructor and video game. The main aim of the project is developing people's skills, and growing the generations of global problem solvers.

We also want to present the ides of making cloze auction, where we gonna sell debris cached by noMad. It should support the government and different space companies. The auction is another thing that can popularize the information about space debris among people and also can be part of business strategy.

NoMad is multifunctional platform for educational and technology development. It is ecosystem project. The first part is a real vehicle that collects debris on the Earth’s orbit. The second part is a modular constructor based on vehicle’s transformation. The third part is a cross platform simulator of the space debris orbits, where you can catch debris with the vehicle. Three brunches synergize in skills training project. So, noMad is aimed to bring not only material values but also deep thinking and inspiration to explore.
