Robotic Explorer Prototype for the Asteroid Psyche
Electrical Engineering
Team 32: Marissa Moretti, Emily Chapman, Karen Trejo, Kalani Fuellas, Ezekiel McNeil
Summary
Our project is a robotic explorer prototype made for the hypothesized surface of the asteroid Psyche. The asteroid would be the closest example of a planetary core for us to study. The prototype was made to combat the low gravity and hypothesized metallic surface using embedded magnets in the tracked wheels.
