Light rays for quick connection between Mars and Earth
Summary
For a quick connection between Earth and Mars, we considered doing it through light, which has a velocity of 3 x 10 ^ 8. In the project, we applied this process using lasers. Initially, a satellite is launched into space in a rocket loaded with the project to go out of the planet and start to walk in a straight line. The sender begins to send the message via radio waves that contains programmable code to escalate the message to the satellite, then it is translated by the microcontroller into another language , "The language of God", to facilitate dealing with it. The laser receiver unit begins to convert the message into laser beams and goes into space very quickly to reach the laser sens
How We Addressed This Challenge
Travelers to the planet Mars face many problems in communication, such as the length of time sending the message or the sudden interruption of communication, so our project is a new way of communication between Mars and Earth, where we tried to use a new method that reduces the time period for sending and receiving messages between Earth and Mars, where we thought about the surrounding cosmic phenomena We turned to finally get to solve this problem by using lasers as a type of light.
First, the word to be sent is entered as a letter, and this is due to the slow memory of the Arduino, then the letter that was pressed by the keypad is entered, the algorithm takes the letter and determines the number of packets to be removed from the laser light that express this letter, then the controller outputs a voltage of 5 volts on the source The laser to make a flash for it and then the laser sensor receives in the other part of the project the number of sent packets and is agreed upon in a single algorithm so that each number of packets crosses into one fixed letter after the packets are received, the device enters the number of packets sent into an algorithm to determine the desired letter and then The desired character is displayed on the LCD screen and the efficiency of the project increases with the use of higher controllers such as Raspberry, where there is a slight delay in the number of letters lost when using the Arduino Uno and the delay increases when using the Arduino. Less memory than the Arduino Uno and less when using the Arduino more memory than the Arduino Uno.
It will achieve less time in the time it takes to send the message.
How We Developed This Project
What made our team think about solving this problem and continuing until it finds a solution is our full awareness of the seriousness of this problem, as the 15 minutes it takes for radio waves to send the message may expose the life of the astronauts to danger if the matter is delayed in serious problems, so our goal and our only approach is to use all available methods and methods to make The connection is faster and faster. The tools we used are many, including the Arduino chips and the laser, and we also used the C language in the Arduino to program it and many other devices to complete the device. We have encountered many problems, such as the Arduino the uno version is poorly studied and sometimes loses some letters, But if we look at the positive side, we were able to complete a device that sends messages to Mars in a time less than twenty minutes of radio waves.
How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project
It provided us with a lot of information about Mars, which helped us to identify its characteristics and suitability for the implementation of our project, and explained to us the most ancient and currently used methods of communicating with Mars, in addition to the information that it provided about Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC), and information about DSN, As with previous Mars landers and rovers, the InSight mission relies on Mars-orbiting spacecraft to relay data from the spacecraft to the antennas of the Deep Space Network.NASA has made strides to advance laser communications. In 2013, NASA's Lunar Laser Communication Demonstration, hosted by the Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer mission, demonstrated record-setting downlink and uplink rates from the lunar range. NASA's Laser Communication Relay Demonstration, another space technology demonstration, will test laser communications from low-Earth orbit.And NASA's information about the laser and its multiple uses in space was a factor that helped us greatly in our idea, as the main factor in it is the laser, so it helped us to identify its properties.We used the sources. In determining the appropriate type of light that will be used in the project and determining the type of violet laser that is characterized by its intensity of correlation 10:32 pm and its wavelength that ranges between 20 nanometers to 450 nanometers and we used the sources to determine the type of sensors that will be used and program the Adruoino.
