Optimizing communications between Mars-Earth
Summary
As we all know, the most relevant way of communication is via artificial satellites which orbit around the Earth. Mars works in a similar way.Our principal goal is to optimise communications between Mars and the Earth because of the existing delay in the information that goes from 3 to 22 minutes.It is to expect that to improve said communication it is necessary for us to implement more satellites in Mars’ orbit to reduce the duration of sending data. We have come up with the idea to prioritize that information, which means creating an app that identifies the data that goes into the message and sends them to the Earth via satellite connexion.
How We Addressed This Challenge
We have created an algorithm to solve this problem. When someone wants to communicate with Earth, he will have the use an app called “e-interstellar”. The app (proof of concept attached) will classify each package depending on its importance, which is described above. On each round, the algorithm will take n*bandwith packages. Then, they are sent to Mars satellite, to the Earth; and bounced back when processed.
How We Developed This Project
We had the inspiration as we sqaw the project. The project is developed in Nodejs. As we hate front-end developing and we had to mockup everything, the challenges we faded were a lot. But at the end we managed to solve it.
How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project
We have used NASA information to understand the way that Earth and Mars communicate between them
