MISSION TO MARS

WHY MARS?

• Mars is similar to earth
• Not as cold or hot as the other planets
• The surface is rocky that is similar to earth
• I hope to learn that we can live on mars

Criteria

I want my spacecraft to
function properly , fly correctly,but the constraints are budget , materials ,and design.

PROTOTYPE #1

• The first thing i want it to do is carry humans
• I added an escape pod so in case of an emergency
• I added AC just in case we were entering any atmosphere
• I added an extra supply closet just in case we ran out

PROTOTYPE #2

• structure:so can glide through atmosphere
• Details:restroom,pilot seats, and escape pod
• improvement: structure , less things more compact
• i added those because i dont want to much things in it

Final spacecraft

• decision:i choose it because,it would create drag
• imprvements:less room,parachute , escape pod
• function: it has to function properly , parachute must work

PARACHUTE

We need parachutes for our spacecraft because if we did not have them our spacecraft will...
!!!!CRASH!!!!

GROUP CONDUCTED

• Contral:canopy size and materials
• Variable:supension lines
• Results:longer supension line worked the best

FINAL PARACHUTE
The data we used was the packing score and we can see if we were mission ready ,we calculated the canopy size and the radius of the canopy, 7x14 =98

WHAT I LEARNED

I LEARNED THAT IT TAKES A WHILE TO PREPARE FOR MARS THE I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE LIKE MAKING A PARACHUTE,TESTING THEM AND REDESIGNING
