Opportunity: Re-entry capsule
One of the most important engineering challenges of the recent years has been the design of the Moon Lander, the Eagle: a capsule that had to safely land on the Moon's surface. We ask you to do the same: design a capsule so that an egg, thrown from high height, survives the impact of the ground.
We propose to design and build a capsule that, thrown from a very high height, survives the impact with the ground.
The workshop is divided into 4 stages:
-
On the first day, there will be a welcome session where we will present the astronauts and the theoretical bases necessary to build the re-entry capsule.
-
After that, you will deliver the manufacturing drawings and you will have to order the materials nthat you have selected for your design (you'll only have 30 tokens!)
-
After the construction phase, you will need to submit a video explaining why your design is the best!
-
Finally, we will do a launch day to test your designs.
