High-Level Project Summary
we designed a structure suitable for the harsh conditions of the planet, so we made the structure consist of titanium and tungsten metals for their great heat resistance. Energy, We will use solar energy and use lithium sulfur battery, and we decided to reduce the amount of load and make this vehicle a vehicle to transform the soil and become the vehicle to map the surface of Venus for the vehicles coming after it, God willing. As for the tires, we decided to use the Alloy tires and but with a slight modification, it is covered with carbon fibers.

Detailed Project Description
what is our project:
our project it do create a 60 day lasting battery on the surface of venus but we decided to make a Rover that's powered by that battery.
what does it do:
the Rover will just be moving around the planet gathering Data.
how does it work:
the Rover will be powered by a Sodium Sulfur Batteries which is also powered by Wind energy, solar panels, and possibly geothermal technology.
what benefits does it have:
the Rover will be gathering footage of the planet and mapping it out, not only that but it will also gather rock samples to analyze for future Venus Rover missions.
what we hope to achieve:
we hope that our battery can power the Rover enough for atleast 60 days without it or the Rover melting down.
tools that we used: at the beginning we started drawing a blueprint of our Rover, and as for the coding we looked at what the previous rovers sent to Mars used and applied it to our Rover.
Space Agency Data
As our project trying to improve the old version of the space ship that went before to Venus, now we are trying to get the benefit of any data we can use and thank God that now there is lots of space agency that put some of its work online and you can easily read it so because we don't want our work to have any false information we go directly to NASA website and that really helped us a lot with finding all the information that we need to know about all venues mission and mars mission and we kind of mixed them up and make a new rover with different materials and with the best battery we can use.
Hackathon Journey
To be honest, it was a great experience. We were very happy to have this opportunity as we learned new information about space and the solar system.
To begin with, we chose this challenge ( exploring Venus together ) because Venus is the closest planet to Earth in the solar system. What is more, its density is very close to that of the Earth, and its orbit is almost circular like the Earth. What to add is that it is the twin of our dear planet. We developed this project by studying earlier space rovers and Venus expeditions. Every prior space expedition that humanity had undertaken was noted, so we mixed them up to make a new space rover that could handle the harsh environments of the Venus planet. Furthermore, our team resolves setbacks and challenges by finding solutions to the problems that have been faced during the previous missions to the Venus planet, such as global warming and high temperatures.
In ending this, I'd like to thank our team for their diligence and hard work.
