Throughout history, human achievement has been marked by exploration. From ancient man who wandered the lands in search of food and drink to the Chinese and their Silk Road; to Columbus and his infamous trip across the Atlantic to John Glenn’s three orbits around the Earth. Each discovery has inspired future generations to reflect on those lessons learned of previous missions and go just a bit farther.

As of now, no space probe has ventured outside of our solar system, and our knowledge of the exoplanets residing more than ten light-years away is very small.

Team ExoBuzz aims to push the envelope of human exploration by a few orders of magnitude. Despite the monumental challenges imposed on ultra-long space missions, we have devised a plan to reach the closest exoplanet populated star system, Epsilon Eridani, orbit a planet, and send images of it back to Earth.

Below is a video summary of our entire project.
