  • This month I went to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to learn about the Mars Sample Return Mission as a part of the #StateofNASA #NASASocial! I had an awesome day learning about how we're planning on bringing things back from Mars for the first time ever as a part of the Mars2020 Perseverance Mission!

    I wonder what kind of environment will be used to preserve Mars samples here on Earth? Moon rocks, for example, are stored in pressurized cabinets filled with pure nitrogen.

      That's a good question! We met about 5 members of the team, but I don't know what the final number is. Between the teams working on the fetch rover at ESA, the sample arm at JPL, the ascent module, etc, I would image that it's a very big number!

    it would be interesting to find out the speed rating and technical characteristics of those mesh tires, not that speed is a factor on their mission, but more so for earth powered vehicles here at home, Im sure they cost a fortune :) Wouldn't it be cool to have on a personal off roading vehicle and not having to worry about flats? As always great video and coverage Alex...super thanks, we love what you do

    • @InTimeTraveller
      @InTimeTraveller Před 4 lety

      As an engineer myself (electrical, not mechanical, but still), I have to say it would be my absolute dream to work at JPL. The conditions under which their stuff has to work, and what they help achieve are extremely interesting. That being said, an engineer mostly (if not only) deals with known questions. Like how does the robot vehicle work, how does it move around, what specs it needs to have to operate in a certain environment, etc. In other words, he helps built and operate the instruments, but he doesn't need to be concerned with what the results of the instruments mean. A geologist, on the other hand, could potentially have much more responsibility on this project, because he would have the responsibility of fulfilling the global aim of the project and as Alex pointed out in the video, he has to be much more careful with his choices of what samples get picked up, where from and why. It's like a race car driver and a car mechanic: the mechanic has to make sure that the car works, but the driver is the one who ultimately has to win the race.
