1.0 Excusive Summary
This document presents that 4th Planet meets the tender evaluation criteria done by the
design company Marover, which is designing for the client, EMPACT, to design the
Mars Rover Lander. In this document, we will give ideas and the understanding to
enhance the design and construction method. Beyond doubt, 4th Planet is an up-to-
standard and ideal company for the Mars Lander car project.

4th Planet should be regarded as the most suitable builder for the Mars Lander car.
The reasons why are as follow.

Firstly, team members in 4th Planet read the design packages carefully and understand
them perfectly. Our contractor in 4th Planet, Leslie, has experience of making
woodwork by using tools like hand drill, knife and so on before, and he is happy to
teach others contractors these skills as well.

Secondly, each member in 4th Planet has experience working as a team in different
fields and all of the members have fulfilled the task successfully. This experience
shows good cooperation ability as well as high communication skills. We share ideas
all the time, discuss with each other and help with each other. Thus, our teamwork
would contribute to the future success of this project.

Thirdly, its easy to contact 4th Planets contractors whatever mobile phone or email.
We promise to reply any phone calls, emails or messages as fast as Marover required.

Fourthly, each contractor in 4th Planet has experience of using many kinds of tools.
This means we are qualified to build the Mars Lander to a desired quality.

After reading the design of Marover, 4th Planet members also find out some
improvements of the design package of Marover. For example it needs a good
solution about how to fix the bottle well in the chassis of the Mar Lander car. After
discussion, we decide to use rubber bands to fasten the bottle in the hole of the
chassis; it is an easy and useful way to solve this problem.

In conclusion, all kinds of capacity and experience own by 4th Planet have met
Marovers tender evaluation criteria. Which also have put great effort to contributing
ideas to improve the design. I believe 4th Planet is the most potential company to build
the Mars Lander car and we will have a pleasant cooperation later.

2.0 Introduction
This document contains tender submission of 4th Planet for the construction of the
Mars Lander. This document has been written in response to the criteria which is
written by Marover, developed on the behalf of EMPACT.

3.0 Design Package Review

After reading through the design, 4th Planet contractors have a high understanding of
the design and specification of the design written by Marover.

3.1 Understanding of the Design

The Mars Lander designed by Marover is simple but useful. It uses bolts to
combines a foam board and a MDF panel together to be its chassis, therefore it is not
only light but also tough. It has a 5mm gap between these two chassis part, because
the water bottle will be put in, which is also create an additional support for the bottle
to sit in place.
For the wheels, it is also using MDF panel to make wheels. For ensuring all wheels
are in same size, a homemade compass will be provided by Marover and use it to
draw the shape of wheels and then cut in off. The MDF material is enough tough to
overcome force while landing on the ground.
Four pipe clips will be fixed on the chassis (MDF panel one) and then over the axle
hubs. After doing it, insert the washer into the bolt, and then is the wheel, another
washer, and through the bolt into the axle hub. It also needs some space between the
wheels and the axle hub in order to let it runs well. However, do not make it too much
space, otherwise the Mars Lander will not runs well or runs straightly.

3.2 Client Brief Compliance

The client, EMPACT, has asked each company to design a prototype of Mars
Lander which size of the Mars Lander must fit within an A3 paper (420mm x
297mm), and the maximum height of any part of the Mars Lander is 210mm. In Table
1, the sizes of the Mars Lander designed by Marover indeed meet the requirements.
Table 1: Size of Mars Lander

4 / 21
 The client, EMPACT, has asked each company to design a prototype of Mars
Lander which have to have at least two axles. In Design Picture 1, the Mars Lander
designed by Marover indeed meet the requirements.
Design Picture 1: 3D view of Mars Lander

The client, EMPACT, has asked each company to design a prototype of Mars
Lander which cost less than $30, and the total 3D cost is less than 25% of the whole
car cost, recycled materials can be accounted for with a cost equivalent to 50% of the
spreadsheet cost. In Table 2, the costs of the Mars Lander designed by Marover
indeed meet the requirements.
Table 2: Cost of Mars Lander

3.3 Concerns and Solutions

After reading through the design, 4th members have a high understanding of the
design. We also find the bottle will be put in the big square hole of the chassis. If the
Mars Lander starts working, the bottle tends to be drop easily. However, the designers
of Marover have not given the methods of how to fix it perfectly in the design
package. After discussion, we suggest to use two or three rubber bands to fasten the
bottle in the hole of the chassis. It might be the easiest and cheapest way to solve this
problem, which probably is the most useful way.

4.0 Tender Evaluation Criteria
This document is to show that 4th Planet has a high understanding of tender evaluation
criteria and responds to the criteria.

4.1 Experience
Contractors should have experience of making woodwork before:
Contractors are able to show full understanding of the rovers design and tasks
assigned to them. Contractors have at least completed 3 small woodwork projects
in the past years. Contractors have full knowledge on using power tools such as
drills, art knife, spanner, hacksaw blade, sand paper and drawing tools.

Each team members in 4th Planet have read the design packages carefully and
understand them perfectly. One of our contractor, Leslie, he enjoys hand making
stuffs by using many kinds of tools and he has made more than 3 (evidence showed
in Appendix A1). This experience may contribute to the Mars Lander car. Because it
means that he is able to use the tool to measure and cut the wood. Leslie is willing to
teach other contractors how to work with wood as well.

4.2 Communication

4.2.1 Communication Skills

Contractors should be good at communicating:
Contractors are able to show outstanding English language skills while
communicating with designers. Emails composed by contractors are straightforward,
clear and understandable. Contractors are effective in the exchange of ideas with
designers in meetings.

To show our communication skill, weekly project meetings report are put in
appendixes list as evidence (Appendix A2). Our experience of working as a group
enables us to develop communication skill. All contractors in 4th Planet have taken the
Academic Communication class (evidence shown in Appendix A3), which means
we have experience of another group work and it also can improve our English skills
as well.
We share ideas all the time in the WhatsApp group, discuss with each other
and help with each other (evidence showed in Appendix A4). Thus, our teamwork
would contribute to the future success of this project.

4.2.2 Communication Response Time

6 / 21
 Contractors should have high efficiency while collaborating:
Text message: reply within 10 minutes;
Email: Reply within 12 hours;
Phone calls: Able to answer calls at any time;
Meetings: Able to attend all meetings without any absentees.

All contractors in 4th Planet have high efficiency in cooperation. There is a

saying, time drops in delay, like a candle burnt out. Its easy to contact 4th Planets
contractors whatever mobile phone or email because contract details including emails,
mobile numbers and email address are all in the group wiki in blackboard (Appendix
A5).
Another reason why we are easy to contact is we promise to reply the text
messages within 10 minutes, reply the emails within 12 hours, answer the phone calls
immediately at any time, and attended all meetings without absents when the
designers asked. For example in appendix A6, the contractors in 4th Planet would
reply the designer as soon as possible.

4.2.3 Time Management

Contractors should have good time management skills:
Contractors show outstanding time management skills by providing evidence
of well-planned past group meeting minutes. Contractors are able to let the designers
keep track of their building progress by providing an effective work progress
timetable. Contractors can complete the rover 5 days prior to submission date.

As 4th Planet, we pride ourselves in our teamwork. Every team members are
trustworthy and we have well-planned group meeting minutes. The weekly activities
timetable was saved in every team members computers and we promise we will try
our best to follow it, just as the good time management plans and high-efficiency of
the tasks we did every week (both evidence above are shown in appendix A7).
In addition, all contractors in 4th Planet promise to keep track with the design
group on time, and we will try our best to complete the Mars Lander 5 days prior to
the deadline.

4.3 Access to Tools

Contractors should ensure that the Mars Lander is being built desired quality
and have access to all tools listed above:
Electronic drill
Screwdriver
Spanner
Hacksaw blade

7 / 21
 Sand paper
Drawing tools
Art knife
Sand paper

As a trustworthy group, 4th Planet promise the final product of the Mars Lander
would have desired quality.
As I mentioned in the experience part, one of our contractor, Leslie, have
experience of making woodwork (evidence showed in Appendix A1). Therefore, he
is quite familiar with using many kinds of tools such as hand drill, sand paper,
hammer, art knife and so on. He also has a lot of tools in his home (evidence showed
in Appendix A8). Besides, Leslie is willing to teach other contractors how to use
these tools as well.

2.7 Final Prototype

Drawings 07, 08 & 09 demonstrate how the final prototype should look like.

2.8 Purpose
2.8.1 Purpose Of Chassis
The chassis is the most vital part of the rover; its the main hub where every
other part attaches. The main reason for having a 5mm gap between the main
chassis and chassis frame compartment where the water bottle will be
inserted is to create an additional support for the bottle to sit in place. We
have used the foam board as the main chassis is to make the overall chassis
more rigid and strong to overcome the load impact while testing. The chassis
frames are there to hold the main chassis in place and increase stability.

2.8.2 Purpose Of Axle Hub

The purpose of the axle hub is to create a compartment that will attach the
axles and wheels on the chassis. We have used the pex pipe is because its
got enough space to easily fit the axle through.

2.8.3 Purpose Of The Wheels

We have used MDF wheels because they are strong enough to overcome the
load of impact while landing on the ground.

4. RISK MANAGEMENT PLAN

PAGE| 28
 MAROVER STAGE 1 DESIGN PACKAGE

4.1 Introduction
This risk management plan has been developed to ensure that all personals
involved in the design, construction and testing phase of the project are safe
and well protected from harm within the working environment.
4.1.1 Background
Marover has been approached by EMPACT to design a prototype Mars
Rover. The prototype is designed for an upcoming bid to be part of an
international space consortium. The companys task is to provide an
innovative solution to the final deployment stage of a rover landing on Mars.

4.2 Scope
This guideline only applies to the construction of the Mars rover prototype
designed for EMPACT by Marover.

4.3 Definitions
Hazard anything that can cause harm within a working
environment.
Risk the chances of the hazard actually causing harm to an
individual or a worker.
Residual Risk the risk that remains after mitigation strategies are
implemented.

4.4 Key Stakeholders

The key stakeholders considered and involved throughout the project risk
management planning include:
The client
The members of the company Marover
- Company members were assigned to prepare and provide input
on the risk management plan based specifically on the design,
construction and test phase of the project assigned to the
company by EMPACT.
Project Managers

PAGE| 29
 MAROVER STAGE 1 DESIGN PACKAGE

- Each week project managers are consulted by the company

members regarding clarifications on the project criteria and the
client demands.

4.5 Risk Identification

Identify significant risks within the project context. Prior to identifying a risk,
an associated hazard is identified. The hazard has the potential to cause
harm to individuals or team members working on the project.
Hazards occur as a result of:
Equipment, tools and materials used in the workplace
Type of Working environment in which physical work is done
Project management and design team
The method and execution of assigned tasks
4.5.1 Risk Matrix
Company members must ensure all risks are identified and evaluated. Based
on the identified risks, a risk matrix is placed to measure the likelihood of the
risk occurring and the possible consequences associated with identified risk.
Refer to Table 5.1.a. for the consequences and likelihood of the identified
risks.

Table 4.5.1.a. Risk management matrix

Consequences
Likelihood Insignificant Minor Moderate Major Catastrophic
Almost S S H H H
certain
Likely M S S H H
Possible L M S H H
Unlikely L L M S H
Rare L L M S S

Table 4.5.1.b. Consequence legen

H High risk
S Significant risk
M Medium risk
L Low risk

4.6 Risk Assessment

Once the hazards within the workplace is identified. Marover assesses each
associated risk separately. The risks are assessed based upon:
The severity of the hazard and the potential of it actually causing
harm.
The cause of the hazard and how it affects individuals involved in
the project.
The likelihood of the hazard potentially happening.

4.7 Risk Control Strategies

Strategies implemented to reduce and control risks within the workplace:

PAGE| 30
 MAROVER STAGE 1 DESIGN PACKAGE

Elimination remove hazard or dispose hazardous

equipment/material entirely from the work place
Substitution replace hazardous material or equipment with a
much safer choice
Isolation create barriers and isolate or store hazardous
equipment like drills and saws away from workers and individuals
when not used.
Engineering controls implement simple measures that makes
physical tasks easy to execute and complete.
Administrative controls workers must design simple methods
such as placing warning labels on hazardous equipment or
materials and warning signs throughout the workplace to reduce
risks.
Personal protective gear- appropriate safety gear and protective
clothing such as safety gloves, glasses, ear muffs and boots must
be worn at all times if needed before entering the work environment
or site.
