On Earth, we experience a gravitational acceleration of 9.8 m/s2, but Phobos (the moon of Mars) is so small the gravity field is only .0057 m/s2. This drastically affects how astronauts might explore the surface of this planetary body.
The design our team chose to further explore and develop was greatly inspired by the grid systems used in archeological sites. We believe that the gridded structure would serve not only serve as a structural frame for astronauts to traverse the moon, but also serve as a way to document and collect samples from the surface.
