Space Mission Log Analysis Challenge

Background

You are a data analyst at the Interplanetary Space Agency. Your task is to analyze a complex log file containing data about thousands of space missions conducted between 2030 and 2070. We want to find the security code of the longest successful Mars mission in the database.

Instructions

  1. You are provided with a file called space_missions.log
  2. The file contains information about space missions with fields separated by '|' characters
  3. Fields: Date | Mission ID | Destination | Status | Crew Size | Duration (days) | Success Rate | Security Code
  4. Use awk to analyze this file and find the mission that meets the criteria
  5. Submit the security code as your answer (format: ABC-123-XYZ)

Tips

  • The file contains commented lines (starting with #) and other irrelevant data
  • Field separators may have inconsistent spacing
  • Only consider missions with "Completed" status
  • "Duration" is measured in days

Example Line

2045-07-12 | KLM-1234 | Mars | Completed | 5 | 387 | 98.7 | TRX-842-YHG

Good luck, analyst!
