The model of the new robot, according to the children's idea, will move by jumping using compressed gas. The children collected
Together with this, an electrical diagram is drawn up andthe on-board computer is programmed. The device will be started remotely, from a computer, it will also be able to transmit data about its position, speed and pressure in the tank.
According to the idea of young engineers and their mentors,GasHopper—that’s the name of the device—will search for water necessary for the colonization of the planet. To move, it uses dry ice—solid carbon dioxide, which is rich in the Martian polar caps.

Besides this, othersParticipants in the scientific and technological program “Grand Challenges” are working on the world’s first space microscope. They plan to place it in a nanosatellite and send it into space for research.
Within two years, the microscope will fall intodense layers of the atmosphere and continuously scan the surfaces of various materials, which are affected by the solar wind, ion fluxes, and cosmic radiation.
The microscope is scheduled to launch in 2022. The results of the experiments are used by Russian scientists in research work, the press service explained.
