Dhivyashree Loganathan's Project
I participated in the space chase contest conducted by givemefive .
Purpose of the
rover
It helps the astronauts to move and
research further from their settlement
on the moon.
If the astronauts want to discover the
moon further and perform the
experiments suggested by
universities, they could do it with the
help of this rover
It is well equipped that collected
samples can be stored or
experimented from the rover and also
transfer data to earth
Instrument &
their function
Infrared imager- this helps the
astronauts to know the temperature
outside or soil
High resolution cam- it helps in
capturing images of the moon surface
Earth sensor- it helps the antenna to
face the earth every time
Parts of the
rover
Controlling system for the whole rover
Communication system
Air and pressure control system
Power system
Instrument and equipment holder
Communication
system
This contains a panel for delivering the
data and receiving commands from the
earth.
It also has telemetry antenna to send
and receive signals. This is the main
part of the communication system as
this helps to connect the earth
The antenna connects the earth for
navigating the rover.

How do astronauts
fulfill their needs
Food and water- they are kept and
stored in the food strap
Air- there are air vents and oxygen
supply for astronauts in the rover
They have sanitary supplies (if needed)
in one hour travel.
Instruments and equipments are
provided in the tool strap. There are
astronaut suit for going out of the rover
and collect samples manually.
All about pressure, power
and temperature control of
rover
The atmospheric pressure maintained
will be 1
The thermal control is done by fluids
and layers of insulation which will help
the rover to be in the room temperature
Power is produced by solar panels. The
energy is stored in battery for the rover
functioning
Lastly about control panel
of the rover
It controls:
➔ The air and power supply
➔ Makes the rover move
➔ Gives warning if somethings wrong with
the rover
➔ Controls the door
➔ It is connected with the highresolution
cam which helps in finding obstacles on
the way.
These are the things it could control.
