Hibernation Technology: From “Passengers” to Real-Life Space Travel

2016年12月21日
休眠技术是新电影“乘客”的关键组成部分。

这是从地球飞往宅基地II的120年太空飞行。阿瓦隆(Avalon)是船员和5,000名乘客的飞船。当他们到达Homestead II时,他们应该醒来,但“弄乱”时钟芯片的“事故”会导致乘客和机械工程师吉姆·普雷斯顿(Jim Preston)(克里斯·普拉特(Chris Pratt)饰演)早早醒来,大约90年。珍妮弗·劳伦斯(Jennifer Lawrence)扮演记者奥罗拉·莱恩(Aurora Lane),他也早点醒来。

您可以查看电影的评论,了解这部电影的播放方式。前几天,我确实看到了它,但是我会把这部电影批评留给别人。

同时,我们看一下电影中的主要技术作品之一,即冬眠的支撑,它使其余的船员保持停滞,直到他们到达。整艘船都是自动化的,包括机器人调酒师亚瑟(由迈克尔·希恩(Michael Sheen)扮演)。计算机系统实际上是电影中问题的一部分,但是在飞行中重新启动冬眠的限制是关键设备。

The need for hibernation in interstellar flight has been covered in many sci-fi and technical articles and books. The massive distances involved raise the time requirements to the point where either a generational ship is required—where multiple generations will live and die—or hibernation is required, unless we find a way to bypass the speed of light.

我们不需要这种冬眠水平,但是它并不像您想象的那样牵强:即使使用这种类型的技术几周,几个月或几年,也可能有益于探索和殖民我们的银河系。

There are a number of reasons why this approach makes sense. The amount of space necessary to maintain a person in hibernation is significantly less than that required by someone not in hibernation, like the simulation thatSpaceWorks Enterprises为NASA开发(图。1)

1. Spaceworks开发了许多用于太空冬眠的方案,这些方案可以大大减少维持一组冬眠人员所需的空间和资源量。

减少的空间意味着更小、更轻的栖息地that requires less energy to move it from point A to point B. It is also a smaller amount to protect from solar radiation and so on. Hibernating persons require less oxygen and food. The savings would be significant even if the distance between the two points is not on the order of interstellar travel.

2. John Bradford博士是SpaceWorks Enterprises的总裁。

I spoke with SpaceWorks' president, Dr. John Bradford(图2)关于太空冬眠技术。SpaceWorks是一家航空工程概念设计和系统分析公司,专注于人类和机器人探索空间的下一代太空运输系统和技术。他们通常与NASA合作。

TORPOR是动物中生理活性降低的状态,通常包括体温降低和代谢率,这是我们经常称为冬眠的状态。Torpor项目检查了人们从地球到火星的运动。

Even the relatively short trip to Mars (six to eight months) can benefit from a crew and passengers being in a torpor state, owing to the significantly reduced mass and volume of the in-space habitat for outbound and inbound mission segments. This could be totally automated, as in the movie, but since the trip time is significantly shorter, even having a small crew active during the flight would be viable.

栖息地将是一个很小的模块,而不是典型的栖息地,它需要空间准备食物,饮食,锻炼,浴室,睡眠区,娱乐等。科学站将在途中提供额外的研究,但没有很多无法自动完成的。

该方法基本上消除了长时间太空飞行的许多心理和社会挑战。这可以简化船员和乘客的选择,因为他们在活动时不会承受与延长飞行相同的压力。

Hibernation has been studied in animals, but not so much with humans. While there have been emergency instances where people have been kept in a torpor state for a couple days to a couple weeks when traumatic injuries were involved, this has not been done or studied with healthy humans. This means there is still a lot of research necessary before this type of technology is employed, though there is a lot of study being done that is related such as neural stimulation of muscles especially for comatose or bedridden patients.

There is also the issue of short- versus long-term hibernation. Even multiple, short hibernation sequences of a couple weeks can significantly reduce space and resource requirements, especially as the size of the crew and number of passengers increases.

The wake-up sequence in the movie is interesting from a cinematic and augmented reality perspective, but the lethargy portrayed by the actors is in line with current thinking and research, since there is no REM state during hibernation. This means they wake up sleep-deprived and often need to sleep to recover. Brain synapses also tend to disconnect in hibernation, requiring some time to reconnect upon waking up.

3.在“行驶者”中,每个人都有自己的冬眠荚。

Hibernation Systems最初将看起来更像SpaceWorks所显示的公共房间场景。单个豆荚,就像“乘客”中使用的豆荚(图3), tend to require more technology and resources, although there is always a tradeoff. Long-term research is needed to address issues from infections to atrophy, so this is a topic that will continue to get a good bit of attention.

4. No, the Avalon spaceship is not burning up, but it is doing a close flyby of a star on its way to Homestead II.

也许下次我可以检查他们如何重新分配计算机软件以平衡由于板载计算机之一的损失而平衡负载。但这是另一个故事。
