The Challenge | The Memory-Maker
VenusXplor
Our project consists of a rover capable of providing reliable data about Venus: so far considered as a mysterious planet, Our main goal is to maximize the Rover's life cycle under Venus's extreme conditions to collect the required information about Venus.
The Rover is a mechanical system, with a high technical performance and a reasonable cost compared to previous launches. We mainly have worked on four parts: Energy of the rover generated by a radioisotop thermoelectric generator of 143 Watts, Reverse Gear: a mechanical approach to minimize the power consumption and avoid power wastes, memory with a compilation time of 10 seconds and a storage capacity of 1 Mega bits of 64 bits registers for precision, and a transmission system based on radio Antenna.
our Ressource are :
materiels : Titatnium 6246, Glass wool and aerogel
Generator : eMMRTG stand for enhanced Multi-Mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator and 768 thermoelectric palates
radio antenna
sensors : Seismogramme , thermometre , weather sensors
DC motor.
Human ressources: including Engineers from a multidisciplinary background, project planners.
During the Hackathon , we have faced many challenges:
Energy Optimization.
Reducing Weight of the Rover
Reducing the cost of the project
the durability of the memory
the life cycle of the sensors as well as the rover.
Basically we have thought of solution for every challenge mentioned previously to ensure an effective and efficient rover.
