MISSION
ATTAIN
Create a drone craft to mine resources from a passing comet
YOUR MISSION
The year is 2087, and the astronomers on the planet of Audaci have just seen a massive comet heading their way - the first one in hundreds of years!
The astronomers have determined that the comet is made out of many valuable resources, and have convinced their leaders to mine the comet for resources.
The astronomers of Audaci estimate that the comet will be approaching their planet within three weeks.
We need your help to create a drone craft that will land on and mine resources from the comet as it passes by Audaci!
How would you design a piloted drone that will land on a comet?
How would YOU get the drone to collect resources and head back to planet Audaci?
We need you, Art Cadets! The Comet Catcher design team depends on you!
Mission ATTAIN is a go!
As an ART CADET, you’ll need to create a few ideas for catching the comet as it passes by Audaci - they want you to consider two exceptional ideas that will help your comet catcher drone design and layout - PROPULSION and COLLECTION.
FIRST
First, make a list of at least 6 different ways that your drone can accurately get to the comet and back to Audaci again - the PROPULSION - these ideas will be used in your designs.
NEXT
Next, make a different list of at least 6 different ways your comet catcher drone can gather and store the resources it takes from the comet - COLLECTION - you’ll use these ideas in your final designs.
