High-Level Project Summary
Our idea may go into a plan similar to previous missions to Venus, we plan to leave a landing craft which will be stationary in one place after landing directly on the planet. In the landing craft will be the battery storage, in addition to the explorer module which will analyze and extract data from the planet's surface.

Detailed Project Description
We think of three different ways to solve the problem.
The first way was to use the electrothermal method to cool the components that require it.
So how is the heat dissipated? We directly plan to design the heatsink together with the battery storage body. Also add the fans
The second method was to use something similar to the fire extinguisher, we wanted to take advantage of the fact that when a gas expands it cools down, and also take advantage of the abundance of CO2 to recharge it.
The problems are self-recharging and storing CO2 under high pressure.
The third was the one we chose as an option, which is to use the mechanism that the refrigerator uses to lower the temperature.
We decided to use in the battery storage the Lithium-Sulfur Battery.
Space Agency Data
We use the links provided by the SpaceAppsChallenge resource page, to do our research and some local information pages.
Hackathon Journey
This year was first time we participate in SpaceApps, was fun working on a team, thinking and put ideas together in some way can be functional.
We choose this challenge because we founded very interesting.
