Yesterday we worked on our design for the ScanSat. This isn't the final version, but we're getting somewhere. There's still one question that remains: What is our secondary mission? Well this year we're going to experiment with, and hopefully successfully use photogrammetry (that's why you can see a camera on the drawings). We want to take a video during our descend, then split it up into pictures and use it in a photogrammetry software called Meshroom. After that, we are going to do a lot of post-processing to create a 3D scan of the landing site. One possible application of this secondary mission idea is to scan inaccessible places, such as very rural or mountainous areas.
