    The first soft landing on Mars was actually Russias "Mars 3"; space probe, lander, and rover (PrOP-M). The landing was almost a total failure but did actually send some info back to earth including at least 1 picture. The mission gets overlooked because of it's 'almost failure' compared to viking 1 super succsess.

    I always thought that instead of landing legs on Lunar Lander, it should have a Bean Bag on bottom with a low center of gravity and descent slowed by engine nozzles located on top with thrust pointing down, vehicle could land on uneven terrain and remain upright even if at an angle.

    • @tomfeng5645
      @tomfeng5645 Před 2 měsíci

      Rocket mechanics means there's no self-righting effect. If the rocket tilts, the thrust tilts too rather than remaining upright, so no matter where you place the thrusters or the centre of gravity, it won't help. Honestly, the physics is hard to intuitively understand, if you're not confident about what I mean then my rec is to try it out in a rocket simulator with realistic enough physics like KSP.

    I think they should do a solar powered aircraft to Mars. Have a person stay up in the orbiting probe. Do a Google Earth but Google Mars mapping and data. Land the solar aircraft each day to recharge its batteries in the evening and morning. The probe would change its inclination often to take photos from there as well to stitch together.

  • @curtiswfranks
    @curtiswfranks Před 2 měsíci

    I think that I might use the ball approach even nowadays for a sufficiently small and light rover. Having minimal reliance on terrain and chance is good. Analog simplicity has immense value too - fewer things can go wrong, and failures are more predictable. I would probably still aim for some on-board computer guidance akin to what we have for modern rovers (or better), because it is dumb to forgo improvements when they are available, but I would not relegate the balls permanently to the trash can. It is more of a matter of the right tool for the mission.

  • @mathiaslist6705
    @mathiaslist6705 Před 2 měsíci

    Probably some people might ask "Can this be used for the moon?" --- I think it would things make easier by having the ability to land with 27 m/s instead of bringing it down below 1 m/s. As Nova-C has proven horizontal velocity is best at zero --- so having more flexibility there could be an advantage.

Its a genius solution to a very complex problem...but holy crap is it hilarious. Just imagine all the hard work by everyone on the team...years of peoples work and lives...the dedication...the complexity of just getting off Earth and into orbit or further...the complexity of travelling millions of miles and months of travel to hit a pretty precise point...and then the complexity of managing to make it into mars atmosphere...and then...boom...out come the GIANT BALLSACKS...bouncin along the surface...protecting the payload inside. Its freaking glorious

    2:25 Wrong minimum time for radio signal to Mars.
    Minimum distance between Earth and Mars is 33.9 million miles. Light travels about 186,000 miles per second in a vacuum. Therefore time for a one-way signal to reach Mars would be about 3 minutes, not the 5 minutes mentioned in the video.
    When the video mentions the minimum radio time to Mars, the image shown has a distance of 140 millions miles to Mars, which would be about 12.5 minutes to get a radio signal to Mars.
