Team Perseverance

    We are Team Perseverance. Our team members are Atahan Demircan, Hilal Şenol, Kağan Çakıcı, Hasan İnce, Nisa Özkan, Arda Kayhan.      In the future crewed Mars missions, the launch capacity of modern rockets will be lower than a typical Lunar mission. Therefore weight reduction in ground operation systems must be applied.     The Perseverance Sample Collector aims to reduce the weight needed to have samples from a foreign celestial body. It further improves the exploring process, making new discoveries easier.      The device is made from carbon fiber composite, therefore the structure is incredibly durable and lightweight.      Another inspiration for this device is to reduce the amount of risk and the dependancy to autonomous and robotic operations, which is achieved by adding human consideration to the process, thus improving redundancy in long span missions.      The main objective of th...
