Abstract
Nowadays, Mars expeditions are gaining more significance as the world scientists are searching if the red planet can handle life as the blue planet doing. This paper presents a prototypic model that can be used in Mars expeditions. The prototypic model surface tracker is a hardware device equipped with sensors for sensing temperature, humidity, and moisture content of the surface to which it is deployed. For temperature and humidity, sensing the DHT22 sensor is used and FC-28 for moisture sensing. The sensed values are uploaded to IoT platform ThingSpeak and to the Blynk android app, the values are accessed on the screens of mobile or laptop. Based on the results, the analysis is done and if the analysis result is positive, the device will deploy the seeds which it carried, to that surface. The model is a prototype of the idea that can be implemented effectively in Mars expedition by making slight changes in prototype based on the communication technologies used in mars surface as the technologies supporting communication in earth and mars are entirelydifferent.
期刊介绍:
IJCNDS aims to improve the state-of-the-art of worldwide research in communication networks and distributed systems and to address the various methodologies, tools, techniques, algorithms and results. It is not limited to networking issues in telecommunications; network problems in other application domains such as biological networks, social networks, and chemical networks will also be considered. This feature helps in promoting interdisciplinary research in these areas.
