NASA-JPL’s
Mars ROVER Curiosity (MSL) has discovered a rock specimen of interest on Mars.
Pine Grove Laboratories has been commissioned by NASA to design, construct and deploy
8 ROVERS that will land on the Martian surface, navigate to the area of
interest and collect a variety of data on the rock specimen. Once deployed, the
only interaction between the ROVER and Mission Control will be data sent back
via live feeds from on-board cameras and instruments. Landing is scheduled for January 31, 2014!Design Challenge #1 in (Science Groups of 4)
Problem Statement: ROVER must be gently deposited on to surface of Mars.
Design Statement: Design a self-contained Landing Apparatus that can gently deposit ROVER on Mars.
Constraints:
- Design must address:
- Air Resistance
- Terminal Velocity
- Force of Impact
- "Drive-off" (LAS)
- Materials are limited to:
Research / Brainstorm:
- Complete Entry Descent and Landing (EDL) sequence SILENTLY ALONE!
- Describe EDL sequence you developed with your science group.
- Combine the best elements of each of your brainstorm into a group EDL sequence on colored sheet.
