Indonesian students in Australia Selected So Mars Expedition Research

Bagus Nugroho (30) will scrutinize a special parachute that will be used in the process of landing a robot expedition (probe) by the Japan Aerospace exploration Agency (JAXA).
Bagus, which came from Yogyakarta, had 12 years of education in Australia. In 2008, she completed her undergraduate programs for the field of Mechanical Engineering and Physics at the University of Melbourne. He took a second doctorate at the same university.
Currently Bagus' doing research in the field of aerodynamics with a focus on improving the efficiency of the friction phenomenon that often occurs in the solid surface.
During her doctoral studies, she also found time to take graduate courses in Business at the University of Melbourne and Nanotechnology at the University of Oxford.
Thanks to the study and experience it, Bagus was selected to be one of the researchers to program the Japanese expedition to Mars. Good will work with the other two selected students using a supersonic wind tunnel in order to examine the performance of the supersonic parachute that plays an important role in the process of Japan's probe landing on Mars.
According to Bagus, this parachute is crucial to ensure the robot's expedition landed safely.
"Due process is very fast landing, we can not use a regular parachute. We have to use a supersonic parachute that can survive on the landing process, "explained Good to ABC.
During his studies, Bagus is already often work with wind tunnel facilities available at the university. However, according to him, the research to be conducted in Japan is both a first chance to work using a supersonic wind tunnel.
Expeditions and trips into space is already a concern Bagus for this. "I've always liked and interested in aircraft and spaceflight. At that time I was idly looking at the site belong to JAXA and it turns out they were looking for a research staff with expertise in engineering, "he said.
With limited space research facility in the world, the level of competition to be a part in this research is certainly very high. Bagus claim to be surprised and happy when it was selected to be one of the researchers in this program.
"It was the last day for submitting applications, and it turns out I was selected," he said.
The mission will be run by JAXA is not much to what has been done on Mars by NASA's Curiosity Mars expedition.
Over the past 50 years, an expedition to Mars is already attracted the attention of many countries, and Japan is one country that has adequate facilities to conduct an expedition to Mars.
If everything goes smoothly, the probe sent to investigate a variety of minerals and rocks that exist on Mars.
Bagus set off to Japan on July 12, 2014 and will run for one month study. Research will be conducted at the research center's innovative technology JAXA Chofu City.m Indonesia S-3 at the University of Melbourne, was elected as one of three researchers around the world who have the opportunity to do research to program the Japanese expedition to Mars.
