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.

Apeiros-1.0

We at Apeiros plan to provide moving a vehicle with just touch haptics in such hostile conditions were a major obstacle which we faced. Addressing the hostile conditions of the Venus we developed the model which dwells with the conditions of Venus.

Apeiros

An overview,

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.

Factors to keep in mind:

Sulphuric Acid Clouds, Ultra High Temperature, extreme pressure and traditional electronics doesn't work.

Previous missions lasted from not more than 2 hours.

To back up a current rover with an electric motor, simply reverse the voltage charge, and the motor runs backwards.

  • Unmanned Grounded Vehicle.
  • Plated with Tantalum Carbide.
  • Data Transfer from mechanical to
  • electrical signals.
  • Memory Stored in mechanical form.
  • Sensory Motions.

For long-term data storage, consider a system that will store information mechanically.
