Denne opgave beskæftiger sig med de helbredsmæssige komplikationer der opstår når man opholder sig i rummet. Vi vil i løbet af denne opgave redegøre for disse komplikationer, og beskrive mekanismerne bag dem. Vi vil tage udgangspunkt i medicinske studier og rapporter. Vi nærede begge et ønske om at skabe en opgave funderet på et solidt videnskabeligt grundlag.

Vores projekt omhandler mennesker på Mars. Vi ville genne undersøge, hvad der skulle til for at bosætte sig på planeten og hvilke udfordringer der evt. kunne opstå. Vi har valgt at udforme projektet som en historie, men med en masse fakta. Så det er en rapport gemt i en historie. Vi har undersøgt og skrevet om, hvordan en eventuel bygning på Mars kan se ud. Hvordan et menneske vil reagere, når man vælger at tage ud i rummet, dermed det psykologiske aspekt. Vi har også undersøgt terraforming og plantning af afgrøder på Mars samt om det er muligt at genmodificere en plante, der kan overleve i Mars' jord og atmosfære.

Our submission is a project about the atmosphere and radiation (UV). For this, we sent a weather balloon to near-space which measured radioactivity, temperature, atmospheric pressure and UV-radiation.

We named our project after Ikaros of greek mythology. The story goes that Ikaros, using wax wings, flew too high until his wings melted, causing him to plummet into the sea. As did we; our balloon flew until it bursted, meeting the same sorry fate.

We are 3 guys from Finland interested in science and we're happy to participate!

The aim of this project is to account for the possibility of living on Mars and having a human civilisation on the planet. In our project text, we have discussed the issues that come with living on Mars but also the solutions to those problems. The issues we bring up are temperature and seasons, the atmosphere, radiation, dust storms, energy resources, materials and the psychological impact on the humans living in this civilisation. We have also made a simple model of our Mars society where we have 3D-printed the houses. We believe that 3D-printing is one of the best options for building houses on Mars. One of our key points of this project is to make everything as environmentally friendly, energy-efficient and material-efficient as possible.

Our goal is to produce a self-sustainable, modular space ship that can travel not only stellar distances but also interstellar as well. We have looked at this project from two aspects, what people need to survive and what the ship needs to survive.

Our research will cover the psychological and physiological aspects of the people, psychological being their living conditions and quality of life, physiological being their dietary needs and bodily condition. It will also cover the ship's various systems and how we will make the ship self-sustainable.

Since the time that we started this project (Early January), we have explored many ideas but also discovered lots of theories that we would like to develop further and would love the chance to continue our research, regardless of the outcome of the competition. These ideas include, the exact methods of building this ship, working out how we will colonise a new planet and the numerous challenges presented by creating a new and hopefully improved society which involves looking at the negatives of today's world and figuring out a way to make them positives.

Ndalia & Extra-terrestrial life.
Welcome to the Ndalia project, the dreamscape of three friends who want to believe that somewhere in the deep abyss of space that we're not quite alone. We've evaluated many aspects of astrobiology, bring to you the detail in exoplanets and combined the two in order to form our hypothetical solar system, Ndalia. Within its confines is char, a planet so unique it too can nurture life. But how would life adapt, what would these aliens be like, how would they act? All of this is explored by us, so join us in our quest to scour the unknown of space for these answers!

Our entry explains why and how are able to take off and fly. This includes the physics behind rockets, which includes such concepts as: the laws of motion, the equations of motion, energy consumption, staging and the cosmic velocities; as well as the mechanics, which explores: different types of propellant, exhaust efficiency, stability, thrust control, mass and ion thrusters. Our entry also explains how prominent figures helped create the modern rocket. This is done to show why rockets fly, by explaining why they are used. The historical aspect of our project includes famous figures such as Tsiolkovsky, Congreve and Goddard, whose joint contributions lead to the development of the modern rocket. We also included examples of rockets that have lead to some of the key moments in space exploration history, in order to show that the reason rockets are used is because they allow us to explore the unexplored

Ефектът на гравитационната леща е свързан с изкривяването на светлинните лъчи в гравитационното поле на масивен обект. Идеята Слънцето да се използва за гравитационна леща, чрез която да се правят астрономически наблюдения, ни заинтригува със своята нестандартност. Проучихме много информация, направихме много и сложни изчисления и определихме някои основни характеристики на такъв гравитационен телескоп. Пресметнахме също и параметрите на огромно слънчево платно, чрез което космическият апарат с фотоприемната матрица да се транспортира до най-близкия гравитационен фокус на Слънцето.

Interstellar Travelling seems impossible or does it? Come with us and travel through the infinite Space! We won't travel only in our imaginations! I promise!
Using modern day materials we could get the Stars back to us! Or us back to them!
In this video we are talking about:
-The astronaut's nostalgia for the Earth
-How can we make a Solar Sail Spacecraft
-How powerful a laser could be and how could we use its intensity!

Целта на проекта е да се изследва избухването на кометата Холмс през 2007 г., като се използват поредица от фотографии, направени в различни моменти от време, и да се създаде математически модел на избухването. Чрез измервания върху снимките се определят размерите на кометната глава и скоростта на изхвърляне на частици от ядрото. В математическия модел се описва въздействието на светлинното налягане на слънчевите лъчи върху ледените частици, отделени от кометата. Създадена е компютърна програма, симулираща движението на частиците, и с нейна помощ е определен характерният размер на частиците. Представена е галерия от симулирани изображения на хипотетични комети.

Our projects primary mission seeks to discover information about the high rapidly flowing rivers of wind known as Polar Jet Streams flowing and extending above 10 km altitude , at the boundary between the troposphere and up into the stratosphere, to 30 km, above Norway. We conclude :

1.There exists two distinct jet streams, at about 10 km, and 25 km altitude over Southern Norway both in the Spring and Summer months .
2.There are seasonal variations in the strength of the jet streams, particularly in the higher altitude stream, with stronger higher altitude streams in the winter.
3.The heights of the jet streams can be approximated using data from the three plane accelerometer.
4.The boundary of the jet stream can be approximated by combining temperature, and accelerometer data.
5.Our method of combining a three axis accelerometer, and temperature sensor on an Arduino Uno R3 board is a tool in discovering the boundaries of the polar jet streams over Norway.
