Virtual Planetary Exploration : Exploring Mars
Summary
When one says "planetary exploration" the first thought that strikes our mind is the Red Planet, Mars. Be it Mars' atmosphere filled with carbon dioxide or the presence of water in the form of ice, Mars has never failed to grab our attention. With Mars as our main focus, our team has developed a basic 3D model of a Mars explorer that can be used to study the climatic conditions and land surface of the planet using a multispectral camera.
How We Addressed This Challenge
The challenge: Virtual Planetary Exploration was to develop an interactive 3D model of a tool that astronauts can use for future space exploration by robotic or human activities. So, our team has focused on the exploration of Mars. What we have tried different here is that we have used a multispectral camera to study the climatic conditions of Mars.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project
The space agency data was useful in many things to us, right from studying about mars, to studying about the mars exploration program. But Mars as decided upon by us as a result of studies from the space agency data on Ganymede, Titan and the Earth's Moon. It was the most useful to us when we were designing the model, which we got from the data on Ingenuity.
