Question below: Mission Objective: State the mission objective. Target: What/where will your mission visit ? • E.g., the Moon, Valles Marineris on Mars, Jupiter’s atmosphere (probe), Europa, the Oort Cloud, etc. Instrumentation: What type of instrument will your mission be equipped with? Choose 1 or two instruments of a type that has already been used on a previous mission and state their purpose on your mission. Do not explain how the devices work in detail
Can i get help with the question below please and thank you
16) This could be a rover, probe/satellite, manned mission, telescope, etc. This mission must be accomplished using technology that is available today (no Warp or Epstein drives) and must be accomplished within your lifetime. Your mission will not be a copy of a real mission.
Constraints:
▪ Answer using the underlined subheadings at each point below (Mission Objective, Target, Instrumentation), marks will be deducted for poorly organized answers.
▪ You target must be reachable by whatever you are sending within a human lifetime (~75 years), it would be nice to visit Gliese 581c, but it is 20 light years from Earth so for now it is unreachable. What this means is that you are constrained to our solar system except for telescopes that peer into the universe or a probe getting to interstellar space.
▪ If your mission includes sending humans, then we need to estimate a reasonable limit on how far we can send humans. For our purposes, let us be optimistic and say everything with an orbit of less than 5.5 AU (a journey of at least two years from Earth!) is within reach if the money was available. That means Jupiter and its moons are our human-transport limit, but of course humans cannot visit Jupiter itself (if you don’t know why, maybe go back and reread the relevant module).
▪ Your target must be reachable (again). It would be nice to send a rover the “surface” of Jupiter if Jupiter had a conventional surface, but if you’ve read the modules you know that it is not possible. Your job is to ensure that your mission is feasible with available technology.
▪ Generalities are insufficient. Your mission objective cannot be akin to “find out about the universe” because that is what all missions do in such general terms. Unfortunately building the ships of science fiction is not yet within reach so Star Trek objectives will have to wait. What is your mission going to explore or what question will it try to answer?
