NASA Space Missions!

MONTGOMERY COLLEGE: First Place


Nasa Swarmathon Mission.


      Logarithms are set to revolutionize space exploration. Students are developing and testing algorithms that could one day be used in NASA's Mission to Mars. Robots are needed for in situ resource utilization (ISRU) to collect materials—such as water ice and useful minerals—from the Martian surface. These resources will be used by astronauts who land on Mars in future missions. "Swarmies" are small robotic vehicles measuring approximately 30 cm x 20 cm x 20 cm.

      Each Swarmie is equipped with sensors, a webcam, a GPS system, and a Wi-Fi antenna. They operate autonomously and can be programmed to communicate and interact as a collective swarm. The Third Annual Swarmathon will occur in April 2019 at the NASA Kennedy Space Center. Students from Minority Serving Institutions and community colleges are encouraged to apply and compete. They will be challenged to develop search algorithms for robotic swarms. Swarmathon participation will improve students' skills in robotics and computer science, while further advancing technology for future NASA space exploration missions.
