Berlin-based luggage brand Horizn Studios collaborated with the world's youngest astronaut, Alyssa Carson, to develop a smart, carbon fibre suitcase suitable for space tourism.
The Horizn One case concept boasts a shell that would be made from carbon fibre reinforced with super-material graphene. This would enable enhanced flexibility and strength as well as making it ultra-lightweight.
An inbuilt smart screen in the suitcase could also be used to connect travellers with their friends and family back on earth, while a biometric security function lets the user unlock the case with fingerprint recognition.

The company founded by entrepreneurs Stefan Holwe and Jan Roosen created the Horizn One concept to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission, which landed the first men on the moon in 1969. The luggage also responds to the recent emergence of space tourism, which several companies are currently exploring.
Richard Branson's firm Virgin Galactic has completed a successful rocket-powered flight, while Texas-based startup Orion Span has unveiled plans for a luxury space hotel.
"Horizn One is the world's first luggage for space travel, which is closer than we think," Holwe told Dezeen.
"This luggage was developed around the question of what a space traveller would need from his or her luggage, and what would that luggage need to function in extreme conditions like zero gravity and limited space," he added.
