High-Level Project Summary
Space exploration in recent years has focused heavily on how to survive on one of the most studied and overlooked planets for life outside of Earth, Mars. Exploration equipment, general-purpose tools, and ways of feeding are discussed and created to facilitate travel and survival on the Red Planet. However, how would the individual on Mars proceed, if he already had access to food, water, breathing air, energy and only three 3D printers? Based on this challenge, to produce tools for explorations and for the permanence of the space traveler of tomorrow, in this Red Planet, to create four essential multipurpose tools for maintenance and inopportune events during the period of one year, is the

Detailed Project Description
Detailed description of the Project
Having the individual arrived on Mars, and having access to food, water, oxygen, energy; If using plastic, metal and concrete 3D printers, you must create ways for it to survive unavoidable inconveniences, such as: An eventual breakage of the Rover; housing maintenance; production of other tools; vehicle maintenance and shelter from the frigid Martian climate. A versatile wheel for Rover, a multifunctional shovel, an emergent-use hammer, and a protective sphere are the tools proposed and created. Thus, the traveler and now resident of Mars, will make use of them to enable his survival in front of the impertinent. Printers are the only providers of such tools. The details and information for each of them are given below.
signal wheel
As the challenge asks, the Rover wheel needs a signal to leave tracks in the sand, being able to locate or know the movements made by the vehicle during its paths. Therefore, the signal wheel tries to produce the necessary signals, in case the individual gets lost. The wheel is made of plastic with a metal center. For signaling with trails through the sand, fit 8 thin 3 cm metal cones around it.
Swiss shovel
It aims at exploration that involves digging up surfaces to collect soil samples and others. In addition to cutting wires, irons, and carrying out repairs in the maintenance of the accommodation. It has a metal top; the body made of plastic; and metallic bottom. The upper part consists of a shovel and knife. Containing the shovel, 10 cm, and its right side serrated. The knife contains 15 cm, both being foldable, and with a 40 cm plastic body; The bottom tip, made of metal, is rotatable for smaller tools (such as screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver, and others).
Mjiolnir Hammer
Designed for Rover tire maintenance. Being the same can be used as a support tool. It is made of metal and plastic: the top is made of metal in the shape of a 5 cm hammer head; the body made of plastic in a cylindrical shape, 20 cm long; and the bottom made of metal in the shape of a polka key, measuring 5 cm.
Aegis capsule
Designed to protect the individual against the low temperatures of Mars, in addition to having a storage function for other tools. It is composed of concrete and coated with plastic, being made in the ideal size for the astronaut. In addition to having the function of deposit, having craters inside, for this purpose.
Project's goal
The project aims to create versatile tools in order to foster and strengthen the aid of exploration on Mars. Being a collaborator with the future life on the Red Planet. The entire project aims to cooperate through creativity, proactivity and stimulation of science.

Hackathon Journey
Hackathon Journey
The NASA Apps Challenge experience was of paramount importance for our personal Space development, teamwork, and brainstorming. We learned to create new tools and means of survival on other planets. The inspiration for this challenge came from the movie ''The Martian'' where the character put himself in a real emergency situation. We use dynamic, simple and practical approach to understanding. With many challenges, our team managed to solve itself through group administration. We thank God, the American Space Agency NASA, and SECTI, for providing this experience.
