During the development of the project the team was seeking to solve 4 specific problems related with the fact that an astronaut could stay in mars during a year and should be able to develop some specific tools to assure his survival in the red planet. The first one was related with the rover and how we could develop a system that allow us to change a damaged tire and replace it with a spare tire. So, we decided to work on a pneumatic system that works with any gas that could create a differential pressure between the two segments of the space Jack.

The second one was the development of a multi-function tool that allowed the astronaut to work with different type of tools so he might be able to work with his hands during the year. The tools included hammer, knife, screwdriver among others.

The third idea was to develop a spare tire for the rover. This tire was developed to replace a faulty or damaged tire. To build the tire from 3D printer we had to segment the whole tire. Aspects such as Tolerance and manufacturing process might be crucial in this case.

The final idea was to develop a concrete system that allowed the astronaut to have some writing and working area. For this we decided to incorporate a concrete desk that should be manufactures outside and later should be taken inside the habitat

For the development of the project, we used for CAD modeling programs such as Solid Edge and Autosdek Inventor in which we design the components and also did some structural simulations in order to verify some data. We also used Z-Suite which is a slicing program for the CAD models. This is done for the Zortrax 3D printers. This program allowed us to estimate the time spent during the 3D printing process of some of the components developed. It was also used Office tools in order to organice the data and information for the project.

The third idea was to develop a spare tire for the rover. This tire was developed to replace a faulty or damaged tire. To build the tire from a 3D printer we had to segment the whole tire. Aspects such as Tolerance and the manufacturing process might be crucial in this case. For the development of the spare tire of the rover we looked for specific information about dimensions and geometry. We also looked for technical specifications, such as why did they get damaged, the materials they used to build the tires, the complexity and geometry among other parameters.

The space app challenge was a great experience for all of us, this was the first competition we face as a group, and it was an interesting experience because it not only help us to identify our strengths and weaknesses in regards to the topics and level of knowledge that each one of us had, but it also help us to strengthen our bonds as a team as we got the chance to get to know more of us and what move us, inspire us in the dreams and goals that we all share. Being part of this was meaningful and inspiring, because we are aware that for a moment in time people from all over the world joint effort in order to achieve something greater.
