After a successful landing mission on Mars, it is now time to explore and extract information in order to understand more about the planet. In order to do this, you and your team must establish a settlement for future explorers to live in.
This second phase begins at the home base that has been set up in the middle of Jezero Crater.
You will deploy 3 exploration units, each given a different mission that will further the settlement efforts. These missions include: mining raw materials from several locations; constructing habitats and other amenities and finally, sampling the Martian terrain to determine optimal farming areas.
1. Students develop, create, code, and collect data using the KaiLab (formerly Kai’s Clan) robots during their scientific mission exploring the Jezero Crater.
2. There are 4 categories and each robot has a specific role to choose from
✰ Mining
✰ Agriculture
✰ Construction
✰ Homebase/space crew
3. Add a few sensors, use your creativity and collect the data to help with the Terraform of Mars.
