High-Level Project Summary

We intend to make an interactive educational game modeled after seven minutes of Terror during Martian approach. We aim to make the game as educational as possible by adding in real life information from different landing missions. Our primary goal is to have the player follow through all the important stages of approach and descent while simulating just a fraction of the high stakes poker game that takes place during real world missions.

Detailed Project Description


We intend to make an interactive educational game modeled after seven minutes of Terror during Martian approach. We aim to make the game as educational as possible by adding in real life information from different landing missions. Our primary goal is to have the player follow through all the important stages of approach and descent while simulating just a fraction of the high stakes poker game that takes place during real world missions.


We have made our 3D Models on Blender and implemented the game mechanics on Unity.

We have simulated the stages from Atmospheric entry (E-10 min) to the final landing procedures by the skycrane module. The following infographic (Courtesy of Nasa) Illustrates the various stages of martian descent.

Hackathon Journey

Throughout the Project we have faced both moments of extreme joy and despair.
