Background:
Ever since I watched this video about how to make a sandwich is space:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZx0RIV0wss
It has, for some reason, bothered me that it seems like such a struggle to perform such a simple task. On Earth that is. There has to be a better way, or at least something that will help make the task a little less cumbersome. So, I sat down and designed the Tortilla Assist Device (TAD).
Premise:
Create a device that will, in micro-gravity, hold open a tortilla so that the astronaut can apply the fillings, allow the tortilla to be closed, and allow the tortilla to be easily removed.
Considerations:
The International Space Station is supplied tortillas in a package already folded in half. Today it cost $10,000.00 per pound to send an object into Low Earth Orbit. Space is at a premium on the ISS. Must be reusable and easily cleaned with only a sanitary wipe.
