Water on Mars

You will be able to design and develop an entire space mission to Mars! Your mission objective is to send a programmed LEGO rover to the surface of the Red Planet and study water state changes. You will take temperature measurements and interpret the data collected to understand how the temperature of a substance evolves during a change of state (liquid to solid and solid to liquid).
