Our Mission

Our Mission Is to send a rover to Jupiter's Moon Triton.
     What We Hope To Achieve:
             -Discover the Origin of Triton
             -Create a complete list of Triton's Composition
             -Successfully land on Triton
     Our rover will be equipped with:
             -four pronged claw, to pick things up
             -mineral bay to take vital readings for data
             -inferred scanner, to map out caves we might find and other surfaces
             -RedHat Linux operating system with pentuim 1700Hz processor, encased with industrial Pc case
Triton is seen here below Neptune


We will have a 4-point claw that is placed on top the rover. This will pick up things.
The claw will place the things it picks up and put them onto a ramp, this ramp will slide the object under a scanner, which will scan and test the object before dumping it out.
We will have a industrial super computer on board.
We will have 4 cameras one on the front one on the back one inside the claw and one on top of the robot arm or mast camera.
These will be HD cameras
These will be true color cameras
All cameras except the back cam. Will record video.
We will have a thermometer on board.
Different things to check the amount of CO2, Oxygen and radiation in the air and atmosphere.
