Mission to Mars is our project and this is what we did!

The reason we chose Mars to explore is because it has the best conditions. We decided not to explore any other planets is because all of them either had a bigger atmosphere or a smaller atmosphere and had a really rocky surface. They also were either super far or the planet core wasn't very safe to land and we were also looking for temperature to see if it was way to cold or way to hot for the shuttle. It is perfect there to explore and get a lot more knowledge about this planet. We hope to learn more about the planet. Like why is Mars red? What kind of materials are the rocks on Mars made from? Why does Mars have no water and where is the water if Mars actually does have water?

We want our spacecraft to make it to Mars and back in one piece. We want our spacecraft to come back home with new information about Mars. We needed to workout the right amount of fuel. We needed to escape the Earth's gravitational pull. We needed a navigational instrument in case Mars moves when the spacecraft is traveling. We needed things for us to have a safe landing. We needed something for very long communicational distance.

I made it like this because my first one was way too big. I took away the angry bird space things. I put in more detail and items to the wings. On the side I wrote what they do. On the other side I put in what else it needs. I wrote and showed where everything is. I showed where the support is. I showed where the fuel is and I added wings to the spacecraft.

I decided to make it like this because it was the final spacecraft and I had to make it cool. I added a Rover. I added wings to help steer and for more of a boost of speed I also wrote what the wings do and each part of it. I put in the thrusters and the support that breaks off when you escape Earth's atmosphere. I had to get rid of a ton of things like the bedroom, food. I can't believe I had to also get rid of the bathroom! I have a Rover. I have a microchip installed into the steering controls that helps navigate where Mars is and to get it to Mars and back home safely.

The parachute is an important part of the spacecraft. It's important because it slows it down so it doesn't crash. If it crashes then we have to start over again. Without the parachute the spacecraft won't fulfill its mission. It's mission is really important so we can't fail. That is why we need the parachute.

We made many tests with the parachutes. We calculated everything. We had some different jobs to do. We worked very hard except some of us who left the work to the others.

The results we conducted were team 3. So we got 2.63, 2.75, and 1.85. We didn't use any kind of data when making the parachute. We made so many parachutes I've forgotten which one we did. Our last parachute was the big one and it did a spectacular job. The one that was the last and final parachute did a bad performance. We also realized that we should've done my idea of the big one again. Our parachute material was paper. The line was 21inches long.

We learned on how fun it was to make a parachute. We learned on how hard the process was because everyone else was also trying to make their parachutes. We learned what materials were needed to make the parachute.
