THE CHALLENGE: Jet Set Mars
Technology

Have you ever wanted a rocket pack to soar amongst the sky? Now you can … on Mars… Gravity is less, atmospheric density is less, and the vistas are breathtaking. So come to Mars...

Buck Rogers aside, Mars is an interesting environment for out-of-this-world mobility options for an explorer. This challenge asks for the definition of a conceptual mobility solution to allow an astronaut to easily and rapidly explore Mars including overcoming obstacles such as cliffs, ravines and other difficult terrain. The solution should be person-portable and any means or source of propulsion be locally produced.

This challenge can be answered by:

  • producing an app to simulate your adventures in building your jet pack and flying around Mars;
  • produce an app that provides the local gravity, atmospheric conditions (density, weather, anything-else-of-interest) to help decide what is needed for your jet pack design;
  • perform a feasibility/conceptual study of an actual jet pack design that could use potential Mars fuel sources; or Design and Demonstrate a model scale jet pack using hardware.
Explanation

On exploration and human settlement on Mars, there is a consensus among researchers that the problem of locomotion on Mars, by land vehicles, there would be many obstacles ahead and the journey from one point to another would be time-consuming and complicated due geographical features and climatic variations. So would that be for the human population on Mars a transport solution that suited the land geographies this planet for a better form of locomotion surface. In this proposal, we designed a backpack that had compacted to a CO2 cylinder with manual controls acionasse the device interconnecting the pilot cylinder control so that the driver activates the cylinder and through the thrust pilot jump up, it would not a plane but a powerful jumper that movimentasse from one point to another in the Martian soil. What with a potent sequence jumps pilot runs to large distances. The problem is how to reload the compact cylinder in backpack expeditionary pilot the Martian soil? The answer would be to create a supply network for exploration around the mother base. I have called from Mars subway. That would supply bases and north of information to south, east to west but in the center all these routes lead to the mother base. This fuel network would be formed by solar panels with solar absorption movimentasse a compressor which absorb CO2 gas in the air and has a connection to a gas cylinder that would keep this. When an explorer arrived for their gas bag, he would remove the bag and connected through a connecting the cylinder base to its own drum in his backpack, and thus co2 refill would be made. In addition to these bases serve to supply the exploiters they contain GPS information, temperature, pressure, climate study to inform the mother base if your locale is likely to occur sandstorm, if for example there is the route B a sandstorm, a system optical fiber or other information system that best prouver NASA had passed the information to the mothership, that instead of sending an explorer by route B she had sent a scout the route R for example. 95% of the Martian air is co2, the rest is divided into nitrogen and oxygen. So if we can pass gas co2 to gaseous form into a cylinder, and uses it as a propellant we would have a Martian operating system. It is NASA choose how to set up the bases and supply information if the same medium in which the curiosity Jeep landed or Drone or by human means, it is up to Nasa choose. We must remember that on Mars there is only 1/3 of pregnant land. That is. If we jumped from two meters on the ground, in mink that same leap with the same driving force would travel 6m instead of 2.
