AFTF ENGINEER CREWSUNMANNED 14TH SOURCE

• Our rocket will launch by using two rocket
  boosters and one belly tank. These items will
  blow-up and disappear in space.
• It will contain a smaller rocket within it to be
  used to impact the moon to collect data.
• The rocket will split in half to release this
  smaller rocket. This smaller rocket will contain
  a ring that will collide with the moon and
  collect data.
• The spacecraft will orbit the moon vertically and
  horizontally.

AFTF CARTOGRAPHER CREW ROUTE AND ORBITAL PATHS

• We will orbit Earth two times to gain speed and
  velocity. Then a gravitational slingshot to
  create an arch toward the moon.
• We will change course along the arch to make a
  downwards slope towards the Moon.
• Once in the Moons orbit, we will go around the
  moon at least once. As we approach the North
  Pole, we will start going downwards and then
  impact the Moon using the second rocket.

AFTF NAVIGATOR CREWINSTRUMENTS, CONTROL, AND
TRACKING
 

• Guiding-We will put a 1 meter circle satellite,
  that we can adust on the Engineers smaller
  rocket. We will also put a 1 ½ meter satellite on
  the rocket so we can see what is ahead of us and
  to know where we are going.
• Controlling-We will have a computer at Houston
  Space Center to insert data to control the
  spacecraft and direct it. Also using a computer
  will let us insert new data if the 14th Source
  goes off-course.
• Tracking-We will use stars and astroides to track
  the spacecraft because usually the stars and
  astroides are close or by spacecrafts. We will
  also put a tracking device on our satellites to
  know where the spacecraft is along its journey.
• Staying on Course-Use certain Stars and Astroides
  again the same way as tracking to know where we
  are at all times.
