The space mission will take me to Mars. I wish to explore that particular feature of the solar system because I want to find a way to grow more food. I hope to learn how to survive on Mars.
2. Identify any challenging conditions that you may encounter on your mission; this may include near-vacuum conditions, extreme temperatures, cosmic radiation, and microgravity. Explain how you will overcome these challenges with the design of your spacecraft. (5 points)

Design: Describe, using specific details, the spacecraft that you and/or other explorers will use to travel to your destination. Be sure to include descriptions of all the technology that will be needed to provide life support to the astronauts and to keep them safe for their long journey. In addition, you may also make a detailed sketch of the spacecraft and its components that you will submit to your teacher for grading. You may create a sketch by hand and photograph it or create a digital sketch using appropriate software. (6 points)
The spacecraft that I and other adventurous explorers will use to travel to my destination will be shaped like a normal delta rocket except it will be covered in solar panels. It will have a tank of water and a giant battery and a tube running from that tank to the fuel container. There it will be burnt into fuel and we will collect the water and perform electrolysis again. once it lands, it will unfold into a house-like building that humans will live in for a few months.
4. Explain the data you will want to collect on your mission, and list the instruments you’ll need so that you can collect and store samples while on your mission. Describe how any collected data will be used when you return from your mission. (3
