Problem 1;

-Our first problem is that astronauts don't have the best workspace outside of the spacecraft.

Problem 2;

-The second problem we have is that they have to carry their supplies all together and it makes a mess, also this way it needs a lot of space as well.

Problem 3;

-The challenge scenario also consisted that our rover's wheels needed to be changed.

Our team decided to solve these problems with different solutions.

Solution 1;

-We decided to design them a workbench so that they would have more room to do their research outside of the spacecraft.

Solution 2;

-We divided this problem into two different solutions. (way1 and way2)

WAY 1:

-We as a team thought that we could have different tool heads with just one pole. That way we wouldn't need to carry multiple poles we would have just one and the heading could be stored in a box or in some spaces that we made in our tool.

WAY2:

-This one is actually more technological but we decided that we can still do it as the challenge itself says we have a chance to use the technological devices inside of the spacecraft. We plan on using the UWB technology (which is a technology similar to Bluetooth, although it has much more range.) We got the idea from the wagons on trains and in mines. Thanks to this technology we can have a connection between two devices. Which we would be using to pull these wagons without human force. It would also have sonar panels for the energy this technology needs and it can be stored under the wagon.

Solution3;

A new set of wheels:

We didn't have to think too much to choose this topic. When we read the title it instantly made us feel closer to itself. After reading the instructions we were sure that this was our topic. So we immediately signed up for it. Our team members were much more into mechanics than any other subject, so we were familiar with 3d models. That leads us to have this connection with the topic as well. Although the main thing is that apart from loving the planets and solar systems, Mars was special to us. You might wonder why? It is because in the last few years it has been a hit and we had a lot of knowledge about Mars. After choosing our topic and starting the hackathon we started off by searching resources and what has or might be a problem when you're alone on "a planet full of mystery". There are actually a lot of films when it comes to science and they are usually about space and time. That's why as a team we decided on watching a film called "The Martian". It gave us a lot of inspiration. That's actually how we thought about the wagon system. As the main character had more problems, we had more ideas of what we could do. 

We as a team had more common interests than we all thought and joining this project showed us that we could even be closer. While doing research and working on our project, we had great fun. We brainstormed and shared our ideas and feelings with our team. We learned a lot from our research but the things we learned about teamwork are more valuable to us.
