GOTCHA! | Design by Nature
The Challenge | Design by Nature
Design an autonomous free-flyer to inspect a spacecraft for damage from Micro-Meteoroid and Orbital Debris (MMOD).
Damage detector & Electricity generator by ultrasonic waves
Video could not be embeded. Watch Here
Our team create a creative idea that fill the gap between (power and money) consumption and damage fast detection Our idea will use ultrasonic waves to detect any damage of any part of our rocket body through the space trip It will be built in rocket bod
Resources:
Challenges faced:
1- understanding how ultrasonic waves detect cracks.
2- understanding ultrasonic waves propagation in medium.
3- finding the shield material.
4- implementing both transmitter & receiver in the rocket body.
5- make use of the remaining ultraviolet waves.
