NASA and an internet platform are holding a competition for a system that will make it easier to scan data from Mars. It is stated that the prize to be given to the winner of the competition is 30 thousand dollars.
Coming right after the Earth in the solar system and since it was realized that our world is not the only planet in this system, it is one of the planets that attracted the most attention of humanity. AnthemA lot of work has been done over the years to discover . The focus of these studies is usually on Mars, even if it no longer exists. whether there was once life is being investigated.
In this regard, now NASA and HeroX, a platform that basically ‘brings together those who seek creative ideas and solutions to problems’, are about the potential of Mars to host life. to analyze data organizes a competition to find better ways. Information from Mars rovers such as Perseverance and Curiosity analyze autonomously It is reported that the winner of the competition, which aims to create a tool for
With the new system, it will be aimed to scan the data collected by the reconnaissance tools.
It is believed that Mars may have hosted life because of the presence of liquid water on its surface in ancient times. Although it is not known whether there was life on Mars at some point or whether this life has survived to the present day, the fact that NASA and the European Space Agency are working together for an undisturbed sample that will come to Earth from the planet to study is in itself a sham. source of excitement enough to be.
Communication channel from space to earth annoyed more and more engineers before their spacecraft send the interesting data they collect from the planet back to Earth. scan to select and asks for it to debug. “Communication between exploration vehicles and Earth is severely constrained by limited transmission speeds and short daily communication windows” The competition page on the website of HeroX, which draws attention to this problem of scientists by saying, “When scientists on Earth receive sample data from the rover, they quickly use it to prioritize further actions and send those instructions back to the spacecraft. analysis and make difficult inferences about chemistry.” expresses as.
Deadline for application is April 18
However, HeroX will be able to detect “families” of chemical compounds from an advanced gas analysis that examines participants’ volatile compounds released when a substance is heated. models He notes that they need to be created and the analysis will be done on analog samples. The contest page also appears where the winning techniques will be used to help analyze data from Mars, potentially even for planetary mission vehicles. informing future designs It is stated that he can even see the task.
On the other hand, HeroX says the platform plans to share the results with multiple communities, including planetary geologists, analytical chemists and data scientists.. “Solutions to this challenge are a source of continued research and development. starting point aims to serve as HeroX quoted as “The organizers of the competition are using the data after the competition for continued improvement. online aims to make it available as uses expressions.
