British Space Service Astronaut Test Paper 1 (Trip to Mars)

Scenario You are to plan a mission to Mars. You will be given a list of items you will need to take you must calculate the total weight of the items you will be required to take. You will be required to fuel your ship with the correct amount of fuel. In addition you will need to prove you can read your instruments accurately and decide on the correct course of action as a result of what your instruments show. A mission will be described to you and you will need to read the instructions carefully and decide what you would do in the situation. Good luck with the test Albert Minch Head of Recruitment British Space Service

Your first task will be to fuel your craft with the correct amount of fuel. Your craft requires 6750 of fuel. The current level of fuel is shown below:- Your craft requires 6750 tonnes of fuel to make the trip to Mars and back. How much more fuel should the ship be fuelled with. Remember if you take too much fuel your craft will be too heavy to lift off safely and will crash. Show how you have worked out how much more fuel to put in your craft. _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________

Mission Test In order to lift off the launch pad you will need to generate 3500 tonnes per metre of thrust. Below is the thrustometer which shows the thrust level. Read the dial and record what the thrustometer shows thrusts levels as. Thrust __________ How much more thrust do you need to have to reach lift off, show your working. _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ tonnes per metre

To escape Earths gravity you need to reach a speed of 810 mph. Below is your speedometer. Read the current speed from the speedometer and record it. Speed __________ mph How much faster will you need to be going to successfully escape Earth’s gravity? _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ As you escape the Earths atmosphere you will be hit by radiation, this has to stay at a safe level. The level is 3.75 rad. How much over the safe level is your ship if the level is shown below? _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________

To escape Mars gravity you need to reach a speed of 568 mph. Below is your speedometer. Read the current speed from the speedometer and record it. Speed __________ mph How much faster will you need to be going to successfully escape Mars’ gravity? _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ As you escape the Mars’ atmosphere you will be hit by radiation, this has to stay at a safe level. The level is 3.75 rad. How much over the safe level is your ship if the level is shown below? _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________

The temperature of the ships hull needs to be carefully watched if it falls below - 15 the ship will fall apart! Check the thermometer below are you still safe? What is the reading? _________ Are you safe still? _________ As you enter Mars’ atmosphere the temperature of the hull cannot reach more than 450 C. The thermometer below shows the temperature, are you safe? What is the current temperature? ______ How much can the temperature rise before it reaches 450c (show your working) _____________________________________ _____________________________________

Whilst on Mars you need to fix your ships electrics. You use an ameter which measure amps. You need to have at least 43 amps for your ships electrics to work properly. How many amps do you have if the reading below is correct. What is the reading at the moment? ________ How many more amps do you need? (show your working) ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ During your stay on Mars you must collect 355 kilograms of rocks. The meter below shows how much you have collected. How much have you collected so far? ___________ How much more do you need to collect?(Show your working) ___________________ ___________________ ___________________ ___________________
