The Challenge | The Memory-Maker
Traditional electronics do not work well on Venus, and memory is one of the biggest challenges. Your challenge is to develop mechanical approaches to accomplishing tasks normally done electronically within the context of space exploration.
Project 6-Track
Inspired by the 8 Track tape, a mechanical device for writing a form of Braille (6 dots) on foil paper that records the data digitally. Intermittently, the data can be transmitted to satellite and the foil can be rolled and flattened to erase and reuse.
