Designing A Mars Lander

This module we have been learning about the terrain of Mars & how to make a Mars rover.

We had to go through a Design process,
The first step of the process was ask. I used this by looking at the designs on The Virtual Mars Yard & seeing how they move around. The second step was Imagine. I used this by looking at other designs on the internet to see how different rovers are made. The third step was Plan. I did this by sketching out my final idea on what I wanted to create. The fourth step was Create, I did this by designing my sketched idea on Tinkercad. The final two steps were Test & Improve, which I haven’t done just yet.

We had to learn some facts about Mars, some I learn't were;Mars is a cold desert world.
Mars has a very thin atmosphere, There is very little water on the planet, Mars is half the size of Earth, Mars has 687 earth days & One day on Mars is 24.6 hours. 

We then made a design using some Lego, we moved this design using a Sphero robot. We were given code to make it move around in a simple square. 

We used a Virtual Mars Yard, where we could move a rover around some Mars like terrain.

The last thing we did was look at the InSight robot. The robot was made by NASA to see what the inner core was like.
