Report 4 – Living on Another Planet Transportation systems: Engineers have many design considerations and restraints when developing transportation systems and vehicles for Mars. The amount of dust on the planet will affect mechanical systems. Vehicles on Mars that have to go long distances will need to be pressurized. Rovers for planetary exploration are in development. Rovers for surface science and geology will also be needed, this design is for a drilling and exploration vehicle. In order to

about planet Sauce. From my understanding Planet Mars is the best planet to live on besides Earth, It has water in the form of ice at the poles. Although there is no atmosphere Scientists states that we can crack water to get oxygen and make our own atmosphere inside protective pressure domes. Well our climate is exactly like mars, It contains the polar ice caps, seasonal changes and the observable presence of weather patterns. Like earth planet mars has periodic ice ages but there is an absence of

Casandra Lopez Korenic-Astronomy Sun I will be writing about the Sun, and how it plays a part in our Solar System. Starting with what our Sun is composed of, being that it is not a planet. It is a star, since it has no solid surface. It’s made of gases, 7.8 percent of Helium and 92.1 percent of Hydrogen. Being that it is not a solid body, the equator of the Sun spins at a different rate than the poles of the Sun. The poles take about 11 more days to spin than the equator. Even though it is not

ar Mars By: Amanda Baker The discovery of Mars is not credited to a single individual, but rather a multitude of astronomers and observers that range from the early Egyptians to the Babylonians, Greeks, and Danish. In the earliest days of Mars observation, all that was known about it was that it appeared to be a fiery red and followed a strange loop in the sky, unlike any other. “The Babylonians studied astronomy as early as 400 BC, and developed advanced methods for predicting astronomical

1. Theme – Understanding the environment of Mars Abstract Recent success of 'Mangalyan' (Mars Orbitor Mission) has made all of us proud of our scientists and engineers. The study of Mars' environment will help us in understanding more about our own environment. This text gives inputs on environment of Mars which can be correlated to the concepts learned by the students in class IX Science. The students are not supposed to memorize the facts and figures mentioned in the text, rather study the facts

Discussion Board NO MISSION TO MARS Many points could be made about benefitting from a human mission to Mars and back, but I believe this type of mission would be a waste of valuable money. With our country already facing so many financial problems, it is in my mind, one of the least logical decisions to keep pumping money into this program. Besides discovering another life form or valuable resource, what would we have to gain from a human mission to Mars. Yes, of course there would

Living on Mars project By Jason Abraham Mr Selmanoski 04.01.2016 In my Living on Mars project on sketchup, I have included the basic requirements needed for a family of four to be able to live on Mars. I have included all of the mandatory rooms needed and I have added a separate space shuttle landing bay. For my renewable energy source, I have used solar panels on top of the shuttle. Since there is not that much atmosphere on Mars, more of the Suns radiation will come onto Mars so by using solar
