High-Level Project Summary
The goal of our project is to create an energy storage system that will power the Venus surface probe for at least 60 days.To generate energy, we decided to take a thermal generator, since the temperature on Venus is 470 degrees Celsius. Energy will be stored in batteries. All this will be in a case made of titanium, after the titanium comes a layer of airgel, after which all the electronics will be. The body will have the shape of a dumbbell, where batteries will be located in one area, all electronics will be in the other, and they will be connected by a closed bridge between these areas.

Detailed Project Description
The goal of our project is to create an energy storage system that will power the Venus surface probe for at least 60 days.
To generate energy, we decided to take a thermal generator, since the temperature on Venus is 470 degrees Celsius. Energy will be stored in batteries. All this will be in a case made of titanium, after the titanium comes a layer of airgel, after which all the electronics will be. The body will have the shape of a dumbbell, where batteries will be located in one area, all electronics will be in the other, and they will be connected by a closed bridge between these areas. The thermal generator will produce a voltage of 5 - 15 volts, which will be enough to constantly charge the batteries and simultaneously provide energy to the devices.
This type of electrical energy generation is very ecological, but unfortunately not popular, so our team decided to take this type of energy generation because other popular types of energy production will not work there: there is no sun there because of the clouds, there is no wind there either, there is no water - that's it the three most popular types of energy extraction have fallen away.

Hackathon Journey
Our team chose this particular task, so it was here that we could prove ourselves as a team of electronics engineers. This was our debut in working with devices for outer space - so we learned something new. We would like to thank Anna Volodymyrivna Saryboga, who supported our team throughout the entire process of making the project.
