Another Step at Ameliorating Humankind on Space Exploration

High-Level Project Summary

Progress demands resilience. Humankind has been imprisoned on Earth throughout its lifetime. Although, liberation is nearby. Unyielding minds face the hardships of our era for the importance of space exploration on our liberty. As the unwavering constructors of the unknown, we decided to tackle the extreme conditions of Venus. Insane temperatures, preposterous atmospheric pressure, and the corrosive environment... Venus is tough. However, we are tougher. To negate in-out heat imbalance, we used in-development cooling systems. In advance, stainless steel enclosure layered with aerogel insulates the heat and counters the corrosive nature of Venus, while nullifying the atmospheric pressure.

Detailed Project Description

-Venusians Energy Storage Detailed Description:

Part 0) Our Goals:

To solve the destruction caused by environmental factors on Venus that prevents daily circuit systems from working on Venus.Programs and Softwafre used:

CircuitLabs.com

Solidworks

Blender

Microsoft Excel

Microsoft PowerPoint

Microsoft Word

Adobe Premier Pro

Adobe Acrobat DC

Part 1)Defining the problem:

Ordinary circuits we use everyday melts in extreme environments on Venus.

~460°C Surface Temperature

~93 Bar Atmospheric Pressure

Corrosive Environment that causes malfunction

Part 2) Requirements of Our Circuit:

It needs to withstand stated temperatures

60 days of mission capacity

Resisting stated amount of atmospheric pressure

Protective Enclosure protecting components from outside harm

considerably small mass and volume

flexible energy usage rate

long life batteries

rechargeable batteries powered with consistent energy input

a backup plan for worst case scenarios

Part 3) Our Solution:

We used Plutonium 238 RTG as our main source of energy

It feeds SOP thermal batteries.

As rechargeable batteries we used sodium sulfur batteries connected to solar panels

-Estimated mass 30Kg

-Estimated Volume 10m^3

-Energy usage rate 40-80 kW/h

NASA- Resources and past rovers.

Hackathon Journey

3 words: Astonishing, tiring and exciting.

With our team, overcoming the setbacks while having fun was incredible. Throughout the 48 hours of exploring the databases, non-stop academic research and designing process on top of the documentation has been a disaster for our sleep cycles. However where is the fun without some chaos?

We got to know each other closely and tightening our relations thanks to hackaton. You really learn a lot about human interactions when you work at the same space all day all night with your teammates.

Overall we enjoyed our journey altogether with it's ups and downs. Thanks NASA.
