Project ZERO
Automated Cognitive Data Gathering and Analyzing Research Implant (ACDGARI)
ABOUT
Innovate and Beyond
ACDGARI is a stationary product of interpreting enhanced machine learning and using sustainable methods to gather information from its surroundings on a small scale of a deserted planet/natural satellite without the need of manual labor. ACDGARI is a capsule-shaped instrument which will have have an array of equipment that allows the gathering of environmental, weather, thermal,
hazardous (disastrous) data simultaneously. ACDGARI is destined to surpass conventional machines used in the past, e.g. rovers, to collect samples and data in terms of versatility, longevity and durability. Data collected from ACDGARI is extremely vital as humans will study different scales of planetary disasters.

Bold but Gold
How Does It Work
Phase 1: Launch and Landing
ACDGARI is recommended to be launched from the ISS or other space stations to reduce costs on rocket fuel. After reaching targeted distance, ACDGARI capsules will split to extend range and area needed for data collection. Should the targeted planet have a gravitational pull force in the atmosphere, once ACDGARI has reached the targeted altitude suitable for landing it will release air brakes to slow the device down. Dust covers will be on the surface of the device to prevent any debris entering the main electronics. Landing gear will be extended for stabilization and for Phase 2.
Phase 3: Data collection
Through this long phase, infrared cameras, heat probe will be used for detecting potential life forms as well as collecting statistics such as daily temperature change. Wind sensors are used to inspect wind strengths and wind speeds. Sample Collecting Unit(SCU) which includes temporary storage will collect debris such as sand, rocks and soil or possibly liquids for further research. Mounted engineering cameras such as Hazcams and Navcams will be the main source for photos of the terrain, mapping terrain, checking out device status and supporting sample-gathering. Phase 4 will be conducted simultaneously with Phase 3 shortly after phase 3 has successfully launched.
Phase 2: Implant, Secure and Communicate
Once landed, ACDGARI will start on implanting itself into the first surface layer of the targeted planet. Drills, hydraulic stabilizing spikes and mounts will be used to stabilize itself onto the planet surface for long periods of time. Using said equipment has the ability to withstand extreme weather conditions and hazardous natural disasters. Once ACDGARI is secured, exact coordinates will be sent through and communication with ACDGARI will begin shortly and launch into phase 3.
Phase 4: Data Compiling and Observations
Using AI and Machine Learning technology are extremely useful for data study and organizing large amounts of data. These kind of technologies will be embedded in NASA headquarters to study myriads of statistics and automatically organize them into sub-categories, which will later send to the ISS
Phase 5: Retrieve and Reuse
Through an extended period of time, humans can manually land on the targeted planet and retrieve ACDGARI and prepare it for reuse.
