Space Apps Challenge 2018

Our presentation

We used Nasa's Eyes Visualization app to choose the landing site for the mission and IoT network deployment. Using the NB IoT technology, the mission will enable to daily monitor the temperature fluctuations on the area of the landing site, the magnetic field and levels of radiation of the Moon, and Lunar seismic activity.

The edge of Grimaldi crater - a possible landing site for the future Mission to the Moon. Many missions are planned to explore the Lunar craters, but the problem is that in case with the mobile connection, sending the data from a deep crater will be problematic due to the nature of radio waves propagation. Therefore, we offer to place the LTE Base Station at the edge of the crater. This will provide safety of the Navigation Module. In addition to that, we analyzed the information about the crater provided by Nasa's Eyes Visualization app, and assume the low depth of the crater will allow to explore the crater in future.

A code to make the sensors work :)

//Hall Sensor
int analogPin = A0; // from the analog output of the Hall sensor
int digitalPin = 12; // from the digital output of the Hall sensor

// Photo Resistor
const int pinPhoto1 = A1;
const int pinPhoto2 = A2;
int light1 = 0;
int light2 = 0;

//Wi-Fi
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
String apiKey = "S4PXFZF4UJ02HM3C";
// connect 2 to TX of Serial USB
// connect 3 to RX of serial USB
SoftwareSerial ser(2,3); // RX, TX

//Temperature sensor

#define DHTPIN 4 // what pin we're connected to
#define DHTTYPE DHT11 // DHT 11
DHT dht(DHTPIN, DHTTYPE);
