Telemetry Design

  • ✓ UI/UX | Interface
  • ✓ System Design | Figma

Collaborated with a multidisciplinary team to design the telemetry interface of a spacesuit monitoring system, focused on tracking and displaying the bio data of astronauts in real time. The interface was designed to surface critical health metrics — including heart rate, oxygen levels, and suit pressure — in a clear, high-legibility format suited for high-stress environments. We developed a cohesive system architecture in Figma, balancing information density with intuitive navigation to support astronaut safety and mission efficiency. The project came in as a finalist in the NASA Spacesuit User Interface Technologies (SUIT) Challenge.

NASA
EV 1

EV

Designed the EV (Extravehicular) display, the astronaut's primary interface during moonwalks — surfacing suit status, navigation, and mission timers at a glance.

PLSS

Designed the PLSS (Portable Life Support System) interface, tracking oxygen levels, CO2 scrubbing, cooling, and battery life to keep astronauts safe outside the spacecraft.

PLSS 1 PLSS 2
LTV 1 LTV 3
LTV 2

LTV

Designed the LTV (Lunar Terrain Vehicle) interface, giving astronauts real-time navigation, hazard alerts, and vehicle diagnostics while operating the rover on the lunar surface.

Final Results

After multiple drafts and collaborations, our team finalized these systems for Telemetry.
