5) detailed description: 

The importance of our project in the future?

 Our project focused on the importance of insects and how to exploit them in the recycling of life in space, especially Mars, which is similar to Earth. Insects are the largest percentage found on the surface of the Earth.

 In the future, we can breed insects on Mars, and within a few years, these insects will return the life on Mars, if we can use them in an appropriate way, and we have explained this in our project.

Humans have a combined respiratory and circulatory system, where oxygen is moved in the blood to muscles and tissues within a closed system. For insects, respiration is separate from the circulatory system. Oxygen and carbon dioxide gases are exchanged through a network of tubes called tracheae. Instead of nostrils, insects breathe through openings in the thorax and abdomen called spiracles. Insects that are diapausing or non-mobile have low metabolic rates and need to take in less oxygen.

Based on the way insects breathe and that they all take the same method of breathing, we did an experiment, which is to put a fly at 15 degrees Celsius and increase the carbon dioxide rate by 95% in order to simulate the conditions of Mars, and we found that it was able to survive because insects can select and filter only oxygen and oxygen It is on Mars at a rate of 5%

6) space agency data:  

It was an interesting experience. We gained a lot of information related to space.

We were inspired by this idea by reading an article related to the fact that insects are used as a source of fuel where methane gas is present. We developed this idea, which depends on the fact that insects can be used as medicine to protect astronauts from diseases caused by harmful rays present in space because it has been proven that there are antioxidants in it.

 We aim to provide customized capabilities and tools in order to study how to implement and develop this project.

 We overcame the challenges by implementing the project more than once and studying all its aspects in order to reach the desired result of this project.

We searched a lot of the data on the site because we know that it is the most correct data about space, we are very happy to provide that information to us that reduced the search effort, and from those sources

Before talking about our acquisition of experience, we must make it clear that it was a more than wonderful experience and we are very proud that we are part of the teams that joined the competition. We have gained a lot of experience. We have learned the importance of cooperation between the team, gathering information and discussing every information. We have learned that we can try everything exceptional. It just takes courage, we also saw the attention of the contest members and their guidance to us, it is an experience we will never forget.

We chose this challenge because we believe that we believe that all the information is related to each other and that the problem is in a problem that lies in our knowledge and research in various types of Science.

If our project is funded, we will focus on making the temperature fit for insects, we can expand further to see what kinds of insects can survive in Martian-like conditions.

We want to thank all the scientists and everyone who works at NASA, because they led us towards learning the secrets of the universe and its impact on our planet. We also want to thank all the organizers of the competition and everyone who gave us the opportunity to participate in this wonderful event. We also want to thank ourselves because we tried and made a lot of effort. To search for solutions and advance our idea.
