For bigger spacecraft capable of executing bigger missions, some of the assembly may be done in space. Your challenge is to design a simple approach that enables components to be assembled in space.

Repair Z

Summary

According to our data, 10 million space junk, reaching a speed of 28 thousand kilometers per hour, poses a great danger to astronauts and space itself. Our spacecraft named Repair Z will catch this garbage with a network and transfer it to a warehouse module we made for the ISS. Garbage collected in the warehouse module will be separated as usable and unusable. Parts that require minor repair will be separated as spare parts. Parts that cannot be used will be destroyed. In this way, the danger of space litter will be destroyed, and in case parts are damaged during assembly, we will supply the material in space easily and at low cost with Repair Z.

How We Addressed This Challenge

We will develop a spacecraft named Repair Z and a warehouse module for ISS that will work in harmony whit Repair Z. We find our project important because: We will deal with space pollution and will end the additional efforts for the renewal of the damaged parts during assembly in space and the additional cost and material supply that will result Our spacecraft Repair Z will catch the garbage in space with nets and bring it to the module we place in the ISS.Garbage collected in the warehouse module will be separated as usable and unusable.Parts that require minor repair will be separated as spare parts.İn this way the danger of space garbage will be exterminate In this way, if parts are damaged during assembly, we will easily supply the material in space with Repair Z.With our project, we hope to tackle the problem of space pollution and to end the additional efforts on the renewal of damaged parts during assembly operations in space and the additional cost of this situation and the supply of material.

How We Developed This Project

Elon Musk and his work were the inspiration of our team in choosing the challenge While designing and planning this project, our aim was to make a different project that would create awareness.Our team consisted of people with or without hackhaton experience.As team members, we had very wild ideas, in fact, we see such situations as a success, but our lack of technical knowledge about the subject we work on has created a problem for us.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

Our team evaluated the data of NASA and other organizations for the applicability of the project and for literature review.While preparing the project, we used the data and feedback obtained as a result of the evaluations.
