![]() ![]() Solar Panels: There are 8 rectangular solar panels that make up the sides of the satellite, they will convert sunlight into electricity to power the satellites.Antennas: There are four different antenna on each satellite, that are made up of six sensors, using all six sensors we can study magnetic fields in three dimensions. ![]() Internal instruments: The internal instruments are the center of data collection, the interior houses different data processing units.Over a dozen middle school, high school and college students from the MARS team accepted the challenge and went to work on a design under the guidance of research physicists, robotic and engineering experts, and NASA education specialists. MMS capitalized on this inertia by challenging the award winning Morgantown Area Robotics (MARS) team to design and build a ‘low’ and a ‘high’ resolution LEGO© model of the MMS spacecraft. Just one of these events, the First Lego© League (FLL) involved over 200,000 9-16 year olds from over 55 countries who participated in the 2011 competition alone. Youth engineering design challenges are sweeping formal and informal education worldwide. MMS Models Built out of Lego© Bricks Using Students to Design and Build the Model:
