Parachuting onto Mars
0 learners earned this badge
Students learn about the engineering design process by creating a landing system for a future payload on Mars. Students will design and test a drag device to slow a spacecraft and protect its cargo, as well as calculate the surface area and measure the mass of the spacecraft. This activity uses the design of the surface area as the variable, not the material of the drag device. Student teams will create and submit a video featuring the process they followed to arrive at the drag device that best slowed the descent of their spacecraft.
