STEM Fortnight: Day 8

Today, we designed and constructed a Mars lander module that would safely deliver a payload to the surface of the planet.

We were given a design brief and a budget of £100,00,000! Our briefing stated that dropping a manned module on the Red Planet is the equivalent of dropping an egg from a height of 4 metres.

After a first test and any modifications, we finally dropped our eggs.

Well done to the winning team that successfully dropped their lander without any damage to their egg.
