Virtual Planetary Exploration

Your challenge is to create interactive 3D models of equipment (e.g., planetary geology tools) that future space explorers can use for activities like exploring a planetary surface.

Canaya-1

Summary

Research by MIT, Harvard and Cardiff universities revealed that Phosphine Gas, one of the traces of life, was found in Venus. Countries are doing research to send crafts to Venus. As the Aether team, we have designed crafts that can research on Venus. The crafts we designed are mostly lined with Hastelloy C-276 alloy that can withstand Venus' 464 degrees temperature and sulfuric acid rains.

How We Addressed This Challenge

Research by MIT, Harvard and Cardiff universities revealed that Phosphine Gas, one of the traces of life, was found in Venus. Countries are doing research to send craft to Venus. We have designed crafts that can take samples from Venus' atmosphere and collect information from the Venus surface. Our crafts are mostly covered with Hastelloy C-276 alloy that can withstand Venus' 464 degrees temperature and sulfuric acid rains.

 

The first of our crafts is the landing capsule. This landing capsule has 6 rocket engines, 6 feet, a hatch and a sliding ramp for crafts to exit, a landing capsule on the back of Venus to take samples from the air 100-700 km above the Earth, and the time that rocket engines will work to slow down the landing capsule while landing. There is a circular distance meter under the craft to determine it.

The second of our crafts, Canaya-1, comes out of the landing capsule with the help of a ramp and takes photos from the area. There are two cameras at the front of the craft, one at the rear and one on the sides, for a lot of photos from every angle. This craft has 2 wheels and a main body. If this craft rolls over and turns upside down, it can continue to progress thanks to the craft's structure. If the craft turns sideways on one of the wheels, two arms emerge from the lower part of the craft and straighten the craft. At the top of the craft there is a radio antenna area for communication, a distance meter to measure its distance to obstacles and a cover for the second reconnaissance craft to exit.

The discovery craft, the third of our crafts, comes out of the cover at the back of Canaya-1 and starts to explore. The craft has two cameras at the front and rear, and one camera next to the wheels. The upper part of the craft is designed inclined to distribute the pressure. There is an attachment in the front of the craft to prevent the craft from being damaged by obstacles. There is a distance meter in the front of the craft to measure the distance to obstacles.
