Talu ai e faigata tele le faʻaogaina o vaʻa sapalai e lagolago ai se misiona a Mars, o le vaʻa vaʻa e manaʻomia le lelei ma le lava e mafai ai. O lenei lu'itau e uiga uma i le sailia o auala e fa'aliliu ai otaota i mea fa'avae ma isi mea aoga, e pei o mea fa'aola po'o mea'ai mo le lomitusi 3D. O le lu'i o le su'eina lea o ou manatu pe fa'afefea ona fa'aliliu otaota leaga eseese i mea fa'aola ma avea ma mea aoga e mafai ona fai ma mea e mana'omia ma fa'ata'amilo i le tele o taimi. E ui o se taamilosaga lelei atoatoa e foliga mai e le mafai, o fofo lelei o le a iu ai i sina mea itiiti pe leai. E mafai e le NASA ona tu'ufa'atasia uma fa'agasologa eseese i totonu o se fa'alapotopotoga malosi e fa'ataga ai se va'a va'alele e fa'alauiloa mai le lalolagi ma le tele e sili ona maualalo.
Ole Lu'i: ole NASA's Waste to Base Materials Challenge ole lu'i fa'atatau ile fa'alapotopotoga tele e tu'uina atu ni auala fa'apitoa mo le fa'afoeina o otaota ma le liua i ni vaega fa'apitoa e fa:
• otaota
• otaota otaota
• Mea fa'apipi'i foam
• Gaioiina o le carbon dioxide
Le Taui: O le tele o tagata manumalo i vaega taʻitasi o le a maua uma le taui o le $1,000. E le gata i lea, o le a iloa e faamasino ni manatu se fa o le "sili ona lelei i le vasega," e tofu i latou ma se taui e $1,000. E $24,000 le tupe atoa o le a maua.
Agava'a e Tauvā ma Manumalo ai (s): O le fa'ailoga e tatala i so'o se tasi e 18 tausaga pe sili atu fo'i e 'auai ta'ito'atasi po'o se 'au. O tagata tauva ta'ito'atasi ma 'au e mafai ona afua mai i so'o se atunu'u, pe afai e le fa'asaina e le feterale a le Iunaite Setete le 'auai (e iai fa'atapula'a e fa'atatau).
OA MEA E AVEA MAI LENEI TUSI:
- The prize is open to anyone aged 18 or older participating as an individual or as a team.
- NASA could eventually integrate all the different processes into a robust ecosystem that allows a spacecraft to launch from Earth with the lowest possible mass.
- NASA’s Waste to Base Materials Challenge asks the larger community to provide inventive approaches to waste management and conversion in four specific categories.
