Opportunity Rover

Opportunity Rover Project description PLEASE NOTE .. copying/cut and paste and improperly cited paraphrasing are example of a breach of academic honesty and will be treated as such. Minimum penalties in such cases generally started with a grade of zero. You are expected in this to write in your own words! Work must be between 3 and 4 pages in length, typed, double (or 1.5 ) spaced. Font size should be 12. Margins should be of normal settings. Excessive white space will be counted against your length. Footnotes, references diagrams etc. do NOT count toward page length. Images should be used where possible but do NOT count towards the length. At minimum you must include a diagram of the major components of the mission, properly labelled and properly cited. (images should be treated as direct quotes for referencing and citing purposes). If you use images, the image should be referenced in the text, not simply dropped in. Images may be embedded in text or simply included at the end. Your work should include the following points (though not necessarily in this order) 1. Major scientific instruments and what they are able to detect. 2. Diagram of probe/spacecraft 3. Brief timeline of mission 4. Major goals or findings of the mission. 5. Other details that were unique or specific to mission (i.e. the recent Curiosity lander on Mars used a totally new system to land with) This work will be marked on the basis of having addressed the points as given, and on the clarity and organization of the material. Grammar and spelling are not directly marked, but poor grammar in particular can make a work difficult to understand. The point of writing is to communicate, so remember it is not just that you know and understand the material, but that you have clearly communicated it to the reader. In order to know you have written well and clearly it is often a good idea to have someone else read it through to see if they can understand what you are trying to say. ---------- Added on 01.12.2014 22:58 Marking guide for assignment 3 Content Major goals/findings of probe - 12 marks this should include at least 3 goals/ finding described in some detail, this should take up 2/3 -3/4 of the content.
