Jet Pack-3000
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.
The Mars exploration is something not that easy for a person to just walk by. Mar’s surface is a dry, barren wasteland marked by old volcanoes and impact craters. The entire surface can be scoured by a single sand storm that hides it from observation for days at a time. Despite this, field scaning is required, that´s why owr project is an app like exploration for the surface of mars, the mainly idea it's to explore mars and at the same time to do it with a rate of security.
Our main idea it's to generate an app that alows the user to travel mars in a land vehicle and when in need to reach high lands or parts where the vehicle can't, to use a Jet Pack with interchangeable rechargeable bateries that will be resting inside the vehicle recharging for future explorations.
The vehicle will be capable of generate it's own electric energy by solar power, and to recharge the bateries of the interchangeable back packs, and to process the CO2 and hydrogen to make it's own fuel.
