Can You Hear Me Now?

Human missions to Mars are moving from the realm of science fiction to science fact. Your challenge is to design an interactive application to explore the challenge of communicating with astronauts on Mars from Earth.

Project Seraphim

Summary

Project Seraphim is a microsattelite is made by energy panels, carbon - IT'S SO THIN - and aluminum - because the atmosphere conditions between Earth and Mars are completly different. that orbits in a "belt" between Earth and Mars that can take the signal of a message and send in few seconds from the "Red Planet" to the humanity on the Earth. It works by coding and networks in a really effective way by our reference data. So, Project Seraphim has the importance of get a new way of communication that have never seen in the History.

How We Addressed This Challenge

We developed a communication system with self-sustaining, lightweight and viable microsatellites. It's function through a belt between Earth and Mars is to transmit data constantly by cultivating the signal generated by the capsules reliably. It's importance is given in the transfer of data in a matter of seconds, it's sustainability as to the material used in the production and benefits that the mission will bring.

In general we hope to avoid the loss of communication between the Astrounautes and the Earth during the mission to the red planet.

How We Developed This Project

We got a marathon. Started to work at Friday Oct, 2nd. on our WhatsApp group and videoconference apps to talk about our ideas. We have used AutoDesk, AutoCAD, Discord, Canva and Google Drive. Some problems that the team have are: problems with the internet connection, manitence at the voice channel, dificulties with the staff (some confusions, a lot of information),

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

With some researches, data from NASA and JAXA were very important to the group. The knowledge about this data was important because the team need some some references and thinking on how demonstrate the solution, and see what are the limitations because of the atmosphere conditions and material resistance. The influence on the project is based on the microsattelite thinking and how does it can solve the problem. So, in this way, the team have learned a lot about team work and crisis management.
