TEAM 1

EUROAVIA

Team 1 did the preliminary design of a UAV they called ARMADA( Advanced Reconnaissance Martian Deployable Aircraft) and had defined its guiding mission statement as follows: “..there is a need to design a Martian aerial vehicle capable of doing research which is currently not possible by orbiters or rovers in order to help in the understanding of our solar system as a part of the preparation to human exploration..”

Team 1 was formed of the following aerospace students:

  1. Artur Fouto, Portuguese
  2. Ivor van Dartel, Dutch
  3. Fani Vogiatzi, Greek
  4. Nicolas Giuditta, Spanish
  5. Roberta Guatelli, Italian
  6. Daniele Pratali, Italian
  7. Tamara Sopek, Croatian
  8. Nils Harmsen, German
  9. Jean Francois Dufour, Canadian
  10. Roberto Suarez, Spanish

TEAM 2

EUROAVIA

Team 2 did the preliminary design of a UAV they called MAREA( Martian Aerial Research EUROAVIA Airplane) and had defined its guiding mission statement as follows: “To design a fully-autonomous, programmable, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) for use in the Martian environment. With coverage capabilities greater than a rover and data accuracy greater than an orbiter. The characteristics for the UAV should be optimized for surface imaging and the study of local atmospheric conditions; this data shall be made available to the end-user”.

Team 2 was formed of the following aerospace students:

  1. Laurent Coutard, French
  2. Gert Heirman, Belgian
  3. Giuliano Punzo, Italian
  4. João Loureiro, Portuguese
  5. Daniel Dodd, British
  6. Lisero Perez, Dutch
  7. Carmen Ancuta, Romanian
  8. Sven Augustin Lanzan, Spanish
  9. Giuseppe Marrocco, Italian
  10. Isabel Vera Trallero, Spanish
