THE CHALLENGE: Space Recreation
Journey to Mars

There is a great deal of interest from national space agencies to go to the Moon and Mars. ESA wants to go to the Moon and establish a village there. NASA wants to go to Mars. Astronauts and Cosmonauts from all over the world are already living aboard the ISS. What can they do in their free time? It can’t be all about reading books or game play on computers. Think of new sports or games that could take into account the low gravity (e.g. a space lacrosse game, extreme basketball). What about real or virtual experiences involving the Apollo 11 landing site on the Moon? Or following the paths of Sojourner, Spirit or Curiosity on Mars using a form of cross-country skiing? Think of new ways for to astronauts to use their free time. To present your results develop an app that makes use of virtual reality tools.

Explanation

Since this is the first project to send human beyond the distance from Earth to Moon, we need to make sure our astronauts are safe.360 Universe will keep monitor the deep space vehicle, and inform the astronauts in advance if there is any problem or potential danger.


NASA’s current plan on sending space shuttle to Mars is to assemble one huge shuttle by assembling at least seven different components in space.The key is to detect other parts’ position precisely. With 360 Universe, a component can detect other parts simultaneously so it is easy to assemble.
