AiS Challenge STI Team Abstract

Team Number: 3

School Name: Hawaii Desert Academy

Area of Science: AstroPhysics

Project Title: TBA

 

 


Our original plan was to determine the maximum velocity that could be reached by slingshotting around the moon using its gravitational pull. Our idea was pummeled by the revelation that a very important factor in our assumptions such as G force could not possibly exist in our scenario. Bummer! Now we will attempt to develop a similar problem statement that uses the gravitational pull of a large mass. What exactly our parameters and variables will be is yet to be seen. After some research, and recollaboration we will submit an abstract that is feasible.
