Description
Mission MACARONI
The workshop will begin with an introduction to the CDF room and the ways that experts use it to design ESA's future space missions. Right after, you will experience the CDF like a real domain expert for a special mission called MACARONI: MArs Communication And Relay Orbital Network Infrastructure.
Mission Description: In 2039, astronauts are gearing up for a thrilling journey to Mars, where they'll embark on a mission packed with excitement and discovery. But there's a problem: our future astronauts are big sports fans and don't want to leave if they can't watch the highly anticipated 2040 Summer Olympics on television! One solution: ESA must send a satellite into orbit around MARS, to enable a communications service with Mars's surface and relay TV coverage from Earth.
As part of the design team, you will play a crucial role in finalizing the equipment selection and preparing a preliminary accommodation plan for the spacecraft to ensure that the orbiter-Earth link satisfies customer requirements.
