Descripció del contingut i pla d'activitats:
A la nostra societat abunda la temàtica de explorar l'espai
exterior. En aquesta temàtica
abunden els extraterrestres, els viatges interestelars, els
portals, els forats de cuc i altres
conceptes que son llunyans a la nostra realitat i al abast actual.
Dit això, realment com sería
el plantejament que es seguiria alhora de explorar un planeta? Que
es té en compte alhora
d'explorar un planeta? Que és el essencial pels viatges a
l'exterior?
 
Overview (resum en anglès):
The exploration of space is known by many of us through different ways, yet all from very diverse fields which appear to have no linkage at all. We know what topics space exploration deals with, like engineering, astrophysics, planetary science, or economics among others, but we do not know how they are correlated in a mission. Thus, there is a lack of knowledge on how space missions are put together, the different aspects that are considered and how they are approached.

Hence, the goal of this project is to provide a framework that encapsulates the entire process of analyzing and designing space missions, offering a holistic view of space mission design rather than a local view of a specific field within it. The present work is not only from the engineering point of view but rather from an interdisciplinary approach, in which the work shows that space exploration entails much more than just engineering (Management, Astrophysics, Planetary science, Astrobiology, Economics¿). The linkages within these different fields involved in space exploration missions, like the ones mentioned above, will be revealed as well as their contribution to the mission.

Along the project, the reader is guided to design a space exploration mission departing from the questioning of exploration (which is a current hot topic) recognizing the importance of exploration, understanding the actuality of the sector, and finally starting with a vague idea of a mission, up until designing, building a team, setting protocols, estimating costs, etc., ultimately designing a mission to Mars.
