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.

Communis spatium

Summary

The team's proposal is to create an interactive game that presents the difficulties faced on the communication between our planet and astronauts on Mars.The idea of the game is that one team is having problems in the spacecraft and the other has the manual to correct the problem. All communication is done only by text messages.Depending on the amount of planets / asteroids that are between the two players may occur a "delay" under the delivery of the message. The bigger the message the bigger the delay

How We Developed This Project

The idea was to design a game. aiming to educate about the challenges of communication between Earth and Mars/Space abroad. We used a well established tool to develop this kind of applications.Unity Engine, with code written in C#

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

We primarily try to inform you briefly about the topic, and the challenges faced in communication. We do not get involved in anything too technical.
