Designing a Vehicle for Enceladus
Definition Statement My team and I have chosen to study Enceladus and design a vehicle for it to travel safely while avoiding icy temperatures, around – 201 degrees Celsius, high-power efficiency, geysers of water vapor, high brightness induced low visibility, dangerous radiation levels, and the possibility of escaping from Enceladus’s gravity pull (0.113m/s2). The vehicle…
