The Challenge | Out of This World!

Create an app to pilot an unmanned aerial system (UAS), such as a NASA space drone, utilizing the 6-axis gyro sensor within a smartphone or tablet. The piloting app can be combined with multiple sensors for flight precision and the best maneuverable flight techniques for off-Earth planetary drones.

Journey To Infinity

We are designing a system of autonomous spaceship which can navigate autonomously and can avoid collision with asteroids. In case of loosing control with spacecraft, it will use the simulated data it learned from and take decision to move at precise.

The problems we are solving-

1. What is the Ultimate fate of ‘Voyager 1 & 2’ or the ‘New Horizon’?

2. We will loose control over ‘Voyager 1 & 2’ in just a few years.

3. Spacecraft needs to survive throughout the infinity all alone?

4. The asteroid belt in our solar system is very insignificant. But it can be very crucial in the interstellar space.

5. The probability of colliding with asteroid for spacecraft is very high in outer space.

6. Our mission is to ensure avoiding collision and making the spacecraft navigating autonomously using machine learning with NASA data.


Our Steps

1. Used NASA asteroid data

2. Modified NASA data to feed machine learning algorithm.

3. Used a simulator to generate artificial data.

4. Collecting data from a player navigating spacecraft through asteroid belts and other obstacles

5. Based on player's movement spacecraft will learn autonomous navigation by using multiple linear regression on data.

6. More data will increase the accuracy level in our output.


Impacts

1. Increases the lifespan of spacecraft.

2. It decreases the use of fuel.

3. It can save million of dollars by avoiding the collision with asteroids.

4. Can be used in any aircraft for autonomous navigating.


Limitations

1. We couldn't find enough asteroid data of outer solar system. So, we had to generate simulated data.

2. Number of asteroid is too small on NASA's website.
