Trip to Makemake

For my expedition, NASA will be traveling to Makemake. Makemake is a dwarf planet located in the Kuiper Belt. The goal of this mission is to determine if Makemake can generate its own magnetosphere. If we determine this, we will also learn if the dwarf planet has a north or south pole, and we can learn more about its rotation. We will need to use a radioisotope power source because Makemake is 45.8 astronomical units away from the sun, therefore, solar power would not work. To reach our goal, we must send a space probe to Makemake. When the probe is close enough, it can orbit the dwarf planet. On the probe will have a conductive material, such as metal test piece. This test piece will be able to determine if there is a rotating electric current. If there is a rotating electric current, that would mean that there is a magnetosphere. I think my personal strengths will be beneficial in this expedition because of my perseverance. For example, in a previous class, I struggled greatly with understanding the concepts of the subject and how to apply my knowledge in doing equations. In this class, I spoke with the teacher and ended up meeting with her during the week so that my teacher could help me better understand the material. I had to put in more work than the other students to understand the material, but I was able to persevere.
