flying drones on other plannets could bring countless data on the terrain of a planet and can also help scientists plan for further exploratiobn. the problem with this is the long times it takes for data to transfer from earth to other planets. in the example of mars, the time can be from 3-22 minutes. you cant fly a drone in that and as such, we came up with the idea to make a drone that was autonomous. we coded an arduino board and attached an ultrasonic sensor, a gyroscopic sensor, and a motion sensor. the gyroscopic sensor is meant to help the drone calculate its position in relation to the ground, the ultrasonic sensor is meant to help the drone sense objects infront of it allowing the drone to stop and prevent itself from hitting something and crashing. the motion sensor is meant to show the robot its surroundings. if there were a wind storm on mars for example, the drone would be able to see all of the rocks flying around and would be able to prevent itself from hitting them. for our model, we 3d printed the frame.
