🚀MISSION T O MARS🚀

WHY MARS IS SAFE TO LAND ON

• Just a bit colder than earth
• Has a thin but sturdy atmosphere
• Only 142 million miles from sun which is just a bit longer than earth
• A rocky planet like earth
• Has a good gravity
• Has two moons to keep it cool

We decided to land on Mars over other planets because other planets had atmospheres that could burn or crush you. Also some planets are way to hot or way to cold. And other planets have toxic gasses. We would like to explore Mars to see if we can build new life there and hope to learn if we can live there on Mars or not.

THINGS NEEDED ON SPACECRAFT

• Control room was needed to navigate through space
• Windows were needed to see space and look where your going
• We needed a engine to run the ship
• Needed a storage room to store essential items such as food and water
• Thrusters were needed to boost the ship
• Door or hatch to climb in
• Wheels and landing pads to land safely
• Lights to see in the dark

The parachute is important part of the spacecraft because it helps it land safely and correctly.

DIFERENT PARTS OF A PARACHUTE

• The canopy- This helps the parachute catch air a causing it to softly drift down
• The suspension lines- They cause the parachute to be able to fall correctly without them the canopy would just tumble all around in the air
• The load- This helps the parachute by allowing it to fall without it the canopy and suspension lines would be to light and it would crash while tumbling all around

Parachute #1- size
In this test we controlled the material, the load, and the suspension lines. But we changed the size. We tested the large size the medium size and the small size but we found out the medium size worked best.

PARACHUTE #1 TIMES

• The first trails time was 2.38
• The second trails time was 2
• The third trails time was 2.26
• The average was 2.21
• And this time was for the size of the parachute

Parachute #2 suspension lines
In this test we controlled the material, size, and load. But we changed the size. We tested the 9 inch, 13 inch, and 21 inch but the 13 inch worked the best.

PARACHUTE #2 TIMES

• Trial ones time was 2.40
• Trial twos time was 3.13
• Trial threes time was 2.68
• The average was 2.83
• The
• And this time was for the suspension lines

Parachute # 3 material
In this test we controlled the size, suspension lines and load. But we changed the material. W e had the option of fabric, garbage bag, coffee filter, light fabric ,and felt, but we found out the garbage bag worked the best.

PARACHUTE # 3

• The first trails time was 2.51
• The second trials time was 4.54
• The third trials time was 3.54
• The average was 3.53
• This time was for the material

FOR OUR FINAL PARACHUTE WE MADE..

FINAL PARACHUTE

The packing score of my final parachute is 112

My final parachute was the second best out of all my parachutes. The parachute was good but the canopy was to big and it was the average time of the parachutes not one of our best.

If I could do another parachute I would use a medium size garbage bag, 15 inch suspension lines, and the same small bulldog clip load. I would use the garbage bag because it is so light and catches air good. I would use the 15 inch lines because there not to big and not to little. And finally I would use the medium size because that was the best size when we did when we tested our parachutes.

IF I COULD REDO MY PARACHUTE

I learned many things well testing my parachutes.One thing I learned was that the canopy is the thing that catches the air. The canopy catches the air and it guides the parachute down slowly and safely. I also learned that a good parachute
depends on its material as well. The lighter the material the better. So when you have a heavy felt or fabric that will make the parachute really fast.And if you have a light garbage bag material that will cary the parachute nice and slow.
I also learned that the slower parachutes were better. I know this because when we tested the parachutes and they went down slow it landed safely and gently but when they came down fast they landed roughly and they sorta crashed. So we decided slow was the best way to go. Now after many tests I know a lot about parachutes.

And thank you so much for watching and I hoped you liked my haiku deck!😊👍
