    Exploració lunar, robot, hopper
     
    Descripció del contingut i pla d'activitats:
    L'objectiu és el disseny d'un robot de molt baixa massa. El seu mètode de locomoció està bassat en el hopping i la tecnologia ha de ser, fins al límit que sigui possible, comercial.
     
    Overview (resum en anglès):

    The Moon despite of being so close, speaking in terms of typical space
    scales, is a rather unexplored place, and it may still hide a lot of
    surprises. It can be very useful if we use it as a launch base because her
    gravity is six times lower than Earth's, thus allowing a huge energy
    earning, with the concomitant reduction in the size of the rockets.
    The objective of this thesis is to design a space rover for the
    exploration of the Moon with a size equal or lower than 100x100x100 mm,
    which does not have wheels, and with a weight lower than 1 kg. All the
    systems will be theoretically designed first; when the design proves
    successful from the theoretical point of view, a working engineering model
    will be created to actually test that the system operates correctly.
    To design all the systems we have followed the approach given in the book
    Space Mission Analysis and Design (Wertz, Larson, 1999). Once the system
    is theoretically viable, the system has been implemented and tested to
    show that it fulfils our expectations and requirements. The systems we
    have built do not have to be exactly like the theoretical designed ones,
    but only an engineering model to prove that the principle in which it is
    based is valid.
    All the systems will be controlled by the control system with one computer
    or mobile device connected through Bluetooth.
    Finally, all the systems have been drawn accurately in 3D with real
    dimensions and with the right materials from which we expect to make the
    actual system; we have also checked with this 3D model that the mobile
    systems could move properly and without problems or undesired
    interactions. After that, we have extracted all the physical properties of
    the robot and verified whether the theoretical study was right.
