NASA to Dig Mars with InSight Robot

in #tecnology6 years ago

Hello steemit friend.

in this post, I want to share information as well as knowledge that is science.

in this post, we will try to discuss what is happening in the world.

ie about NASA, you know what NASA is,

yes, NASA stands for US Space Agency.

the following news ,,

US space agency, NASA back to prepare a further expedition Ford Planet. This time Nasa set up a robot that will carry the mission of digging the surface contents of the Red Planet in 2018.

As quoted from the official website of NASA, their latest robot rover named InSight will examine the process of formation of rocks and other natural components in Mars.

NASA scientist Bruce Banerdt says the planet's interior changes are arguably more passive than those on Earth for the past 300 billion years.

"Because it's slower, then we should look at it and see if Mars really keeps authentic evidence of the formation of the rocks in it," says Bandert

NASA is targeting the launch of InSight in May 2018. For now, they are perfecting some of the features that are still being developed over the past year.

InSight itself would be the first robot that will directly plunge into the belly of Mars. It is equipped with a variety of sophisticated instruments, such as a seismometer to record seismic waves, heat sensors to extract the contents of Mars to a depth of three meters, to radio transmissions to communicate with Earth.

Previously, InSight is planned to be launched this year. However, the launch was delayed due to technical problems. One of them is a plane leak which is an important tool in this mission.

"The purpose of InSight is very interesting. Therefore NASA and CNES plan to overcome technical challenges that may occur, "said John Grunsfeld, Associate Administrator of NASA.

The plan, InSight slid off on May 5, 2018 and landed on Mars November 26, 2018. If successful, InSight will be the second mission after the Curiosity rover is intended to study the surface of Mars.
