Nasa has asked your engineering team to come up with ideas for the upcoming Mission to Mars in 2020. Nasa needs ideas in 7 different areas of need.Your team will be selected for one area to research and design. You will need to research past ideas, equipment and space missions for ideas and background knowledge.
