satyendra pakhale moonwaka micro gravity object by satyendra from netherlands
designer's own words:
considering the likely possibility that in the future humankind will begin to inhabit space, india-born netherlands-based designer
satyendra pakhalé developed 'moonwaka' with the intention to, 'create a playful yet utilitarian tool-like object that will help
orientation in a micro-gravity environment like on the moon. an object which will give first time space travellers a sense of security
and direction and make their endeavour exciting,' as he says.
the monolithic sculptural device is meant to assist eye-hand coordination in micro-gravity environments where one's angle of vision
changes considerably. with this in mind, the gadget includes utilitarian features such as a viewfinder that allows users to experience
and feel this variation, along with distances on the moon's terrain. this element of the 'moonwaka' has markings provoking
a change in perspective from 35 degrees to 15 degrees.
satyendra pakhalé: moonwaka micro-gravity object
the device has a mass volume distribution which allows it to always remain upright within micro-gravity environments

a new scale is envisioned by satyendra pakhalé indicating a walking distance covered by human beings on the surface of the moon 
the intention is to manufacture ‘moonwaka’ on the moon using the material resources available on the earth’s only known natural satellite
