Slide5What we need before we get to mars
Arrive, Survive, and Thrive
Slide6Mission plan
Arrive
First we have to survive on Mars when we get there. A nice landing and a map of the place.
Survive
When we get to Mars we have to survive, which means find shelter, a stable food source, and find oxygen just to survive.
Thrive
Get ways to move around and a good stable government. Make living quarters for more people to come. Prepare experiments to conduct on Mars.
Slide7Making the rockets
Making the rockets took two days. The first day we built the 1
st
stage. The first stage was the main part of the rocket, the main rocket had the recovery device and the engine. The second part of the rocket would fall off.
Slide8Robotics
When we were programing the robots we used this software called “Terra Term.” Only about 2 people in the class knew how to use the program. For beginners the class learned real quickly. We had to learn how to command the robots to move around things. Today we were trying to program our robots to move around a maze. We had to walk back and forth many times to get the programming good.
