We improved the interconnection of the two spacecraft. We found a very simple solution, we use electromagnets in our solution because we think the simplest example of connecting something together is magnets and using them in a spacecraft is the simplest method in our opinion. This issue is very important for us, but it should be solved in a simple way.
As for how it works, four electromagnets in a single vehicle stick to points made of magnetic field-affected materials (iron, etc.) where the magnets will stick to the other spacecraft when the two spacecraft are close enough to each other, and the vehicles connect together. The reason the magnets are in a single vehicle is that if both are magnets, it is risky to attract each other, our aim is to attract one to the other. In order to prevent false connections, both tools are covered with a material that is not affected by magnetic field except where magnets are adhered and where magnets are located. The electric current is very precisely regulated and a slow, controlled coupling occurs. After the connection is made, they are tightly mounted to each other and the magnet is closed. (for energy saving) or remain open no assembly required.
The reason we chose this project was that it was a design problem. We had very creative ideas to develop this project, but as a team, we chose the simplest way. this competition was the first of our team.
We used the resources in the category section. Sources of nasa have provided us with information about past practices to improve our project.
