TEAM : UWR-DOCKR | NASA SPACE APP CHALLENGE 2022
Our project aims to create an unmanned system to power a Venus rover as we traverse the extreme conditions on Venus. Our project will utilize a two-part energy system which consists of a power station and the rover it will serve and charge. The power station has been designed to utilize multiple energy sources so that there are multiple backup options in case of any failure. A docking mechanism will be used for the charging process too. The station is programmed to follow the rover along its journey, so it can recharge anytime. As per our calculations, the rover and power station will be able to successfully withstand any potential threats on the Venus surface for over 60 days.
