Mission Briefing
To come out on top at the Remotely-Operated Vehicle (ROV) engineering competition, your team will need to assemble a payload that can hold the motors, circuit components and batteries that will power and drive your Near Space Exploration (NSE) ROV. But its not enough to just tie a box up to a bunch of helium balloons and let fly.
The NSE ROV must remain neutrally buoyant. But what exactly is neutral buoyancy anyway? Or regular buoyancy for that matter? How large will a balloon need to be to lift your payload? Or if Far Horizons already has a big balloon, how much can that lift?
Gather the required knowledge about buoyancy over the next couple of sessions.
