High-Level Project Summary
We have forged together a plan consisting of the VASIMR engine and a plasma inverter. This way, the fuel source is not only sustainable, but it can be (nearly) endlessly collected and produced and used as fuel to power the rocket to get to Venus. The rover will have Xenon-generated XeLi2S batteries which will last for more than 60 days by the auto-collecting plasma. The Xenon gas on Venus will power the batteries via the plasma inverter. We chose to do so due to the fact that plasma is an abundant form and source of energy and can be used to power machines.

Detailed Project Description
In this project, we will be displaying a sustainable method to travel to Venus with the proper equipment and collect pieces of evidence about the different planetary environments are present in the Solar System. We also are attempting to find how to create a good way to store energy on Venus. The main aim of the project is to create ways to reach Venus and to create a viable way to store energy up there.

Hackathon Journey
We think that this journey has not only been fun, but we have also gained additional information regarding solving problems effectively and appropriately. We have also developed skills in making 3D models and carrying certain tasks out effectively and successfully as a team. We would like to thank Ms. Meenakshi Vishwanath, our ICT teacher, and Ms. Ashwini, our space research teacher.
