The Goal of this challenge is to create a graphic to represent NASA’s power distribution system, Advanced Exploration Systems (AES) Modular Power System, or AMPS. The graphic should convey the two major themes of power distribution, and modularity/interchangeability that allows different circuit boards to be placed together, like building blocks, to create the whole system. AMPS is the power distribution system of the future, which will be beneficial to future missions to the moon, and Mars. Some terms to consider that may help with the design include: Modular Power Systems, Modular Power Standards, and Enables Sharing of Spares. The graphic will be used in multiple ways internally at NASA, but will have limited external/public use.

Background:

The Advanced Exploration Systems (AES) Modular Power System (AMPS) project seeks to transform future space power system architectures with a modular approach, standardizing the power system at the electronics module level, and validating the modular approach through ground-based demonstrations. The anticipated benefits of modular power systems include promoting power system commonality across spacecraft power systems, reducing the overall power system development costs, and improving the logistics and sparing strategy. The AMPS approach is extensible to the Lunar and Mars Architectures, thus further increasing its benefit.
The AMPS approach is to build a set of common electronics modules (i.e. circuit boards or cards), which are defined by the Modular Power Standards. When integrated with a common chassis and a backplane, the common electronics modules can be configured into a set of Modular Electronics Units (MEU’s). The Modular Electronic Units are then integrated together to create an overall modular power system architecture.

Submission Criteria and Deliverables:

• Having multiple versions of the graphic is desired within a single submission. For the submission, all graphics are required to include the acronym, “AMPS”. It is desired to have a version of the graphic with only the acronym, and another version of the graphic with both the acronym and the text, “AES Modular Power System.”
• Graphic must be 4 colors or less of your choice and you may include black and white as well. Please stay away from gradients, as they will not be able to be easily reproduced across all media.
• You must show your graphic on a white and black background. You must also identify your colors.
• Source File Requirements: All original vector source files of the submitted design. Files should be created in Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape and saved as layered AI or EPS files. Note that PSDs saved as EPS files are not true vector / scalable files and will not be accepted. All non-standard Windows/Apple fonts must be listed in a text file within your Submission Zip file. Include the name of the font and a link to where it can be downloaded/purchased. DO NOT include any font files in your submission or source files.
• Preview Image Requirements: Please create your graphic preview image as one (1) 1024x1024 JPG or PNG file in RGB color mode at 72dpi. Show your graphic on BOTH a black and white background.
• Stock Imagery Requirements: Stock imagery is not allowed in this contest. All submitted elements must be designed solely by you.

Judging Criteria:

• Requirements: Does your submission meet the requirements as stated within the challenge?
• Quality: Does your submission look fresh, professional, and clean?
• Concept: Does your submission represent what the project stands for? (ie. Depiction combines the power distribution and modularity/interchangeability)

Please note that NASA employees/contractors are not eligible for competing in this contest.

    Why don't NASA integrate the 120/28V converter into the common backplane as separate plugs? The 120V modules will only connect with the 120V plug and the 28V modules with the 28V plug (by design). That way a bulky converter and cables aren't necessary, no need of additional backplane unit, and the connectivity between 120V and 28V modules gets simpler. You can also do that with the controller and input selector.

    Graphic can mean a lot of things unfortunately, would you be kind enough to be more specific ?

      Good question. What we are looking for is a graphic that represents us, AMPS, modularity, and power distribution. Similar to a logo, however as this logo will be used almost exclusively internally, the graphic does not have to be as simple as most company logos are. We would like the focus of this graphic to be on its representation, rather than on its simplicity. So in short, it is essentially like a graphic, with more stuff going on in it.

    Additionally, it seems as though some designers are having an issue with the modularity aspect of the design, so I'd like to clear that up as well. Modularity is when there are a certain number of components of something that all go by one standard that allows them all to be interchanged and customized. Almost like how a part made of Legos is modular, and a part made out of 1 solid piece of plastic is not modular.

      so, you want an infographic / systems block diagram hybrid of AMPS?

      No, not really. We are looking for a new graphic to be represented by. We would just like it to represent us properly, so we would like it to include some element of modularity, and some element of power or power distribution.

    I would Like to Clarify something about the graphic. It seems that in many submissions, the graphic is just for advanced exploration systems. However, that is not what the graphic needs to be. The graphic should say AMPS, which stands for AES (Advanced Exploration Systems) Modular Power System. This is supposed to be a graphic for AMPS, not AES.

      Thanks for your comment, We do not necessarily have "favorite" colors here, as long as you are limited to four colors plus black and white, the colors work well together, and there are no gradients.
