It’s too bad Mars is such an interesting place, because it’s actually one of the most difficult places to visit in the Solar System, especially if you want to bring along a lot of luggage. That planet is a graveyard of missions that didn’t quite make it. As our ambitions grow, and we think about exploring Mars with humans - maybe even future colonists - we’re going to need to solve one of the biggest problems in space exploration. Successfully landing heavy payloads on the surface of Mars is really really hard to do. This video was inspired by the incredible writing from Nancy Atkinson on Universe Today: https://www.universetoday.com/7024/the-mars-landing-approach-getting-large-payloads-to-the-surface-of-the-red-planet/ Read: https://www.amazon.com/Design-Engineering-Curiosity-Performs-Springer/dp/3319681443 Audio Podcast version: ITunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/universe-today-guide-to-space-audio/id794058155?mt=2 RSS: https://www.universetoday.com/audio What Fraser's Watching Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbJ42wpShvmkjd428BcHcCEVWOjv7cJ1G Weekly email newsletter: https://www.universetoday.com/newsletter Support us at: http://www.patreon.com/universetoday More stories at: http://www.universetoday.com/ Twitch: https://twitch.tv/fcain Follow us on Twitter: @universetoday Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/universetoday Instagram - http://instagram.com/universetoday Team: Fraser Cain - @fcain / [email protected] Karla Thompson - @karlaii / https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEItkORQYd4Wf0TpgYI_1fw Chad Weber - [email protected] References: https://mars.nasa.gov/mer/mission/spacecraft_edl_aeroshell.html http://www.planetary.org/blogs/emily-lakdawalla/2012/06221711-how-curiosity-land-part-1.html https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?feature=7269 https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=37000+kilograms+in+newtons https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/tdm/news.html https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasas-ldsd-project-completes-second-experimental-test-flight/ https://mars.nasa.gov/odyssey/mission/timeline/mtaerobraking/ https://aerospace.illinois.edu/news/developing-flight-strategy-land-heavier-vehicles-mars https://arc.aiaa.org/doi/abs/10.2514/1.A34262?journalCode=jsr

An exploding asteroid slammed into Mars’ surface within the past ten years, say scientists based on photographic evidence.

For more than a decade, Opportunity has been one of our best tools for understanding Mars, but after eight months of listening and hoping, it was officially time to put the rover to bed.

This lecture is part of the IHMC Evening Lecture series. https://www.ihmc.us/life/evening_lectures/ Senator Harrison Schmitt was born in New Mexico and grew up in the American West. He received a Bachelors of Science from Caltech and a PhD in geology from Harvard based on work in Norway as a Fulbright Scholar and National Science Foundation Post-Doctorate Fellow. Between 1964 and 1965, Schmitt re-joined the United States Geological Survey as part of the Astrogeology Branch in Flagstaff, Arizona, leading the development of early lunar field geological methods under contract to NASA. Selected by NASA as a Scientist-Astronaut in 1965, he earned Air Force T-38 jet pilot wings in 1966 and Navy H-13 helicopter wings in 1967. Schmitt flew in space as Apollo 17’s Lunar Module Pilot, landing in the Moon’s Valley of Taurus-Littrow, December 11, 1972. He is the only scientist and last of 12 men to step on the Moon. Elected to the United States Senate from New Mexico in 1976, Schmitt worked on legislation and New Mexico affairs related to technology, immigration, education, healthcare, commerce, and national security. As part of his consulting business in aerospace and earth science, he served on the President Reagan’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board, the Army Science Board, and the President H. W. Bush’s Ethics Commission and, from 2005 to 2008, chaired the NASA Advisory Council. Schmitt has received numerous honorary degrees from United States and Canadian universities. In 1983, Schmitt was a Director of Orbital Sciences Corporation/Orbital ATK, serving until 2018 when Northrop Grumman acquired the company. He also has served as a director of several corporations in the banking, technology, mining, and medical fields that included the Draper Corporation. Beginning in 1996, he taught “Resources from Space” at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and is an Associate Fellow in the University’s Department of Engineering. Schmitt authored “Return to the Moon; Exploration, Enterprise and Energy in the Human Exploration of Space” and has published numerous scientific and public policy papers from 1964 to the present. Most recently, Schmitt and his co-authors published “Revisiting the field geology of Taurus-Littrow” in Icarus (2016). He travels extensively internationally as well as domestically. His account of the Apollo 17 Mission to the Moon is currently being published at americasuncommonsense.com as “Apollo 17: Diary of the 12th Man.” Schmitt lives in the intermountain West with his wife of over 30 years, Teresa Fitzgibbon, and a number of four-legged canine family members.

Assuming that we've figured out how to ship all the materials to Mars and build stuff there - would it be a good idea to build telescopes on Mars? Can we actually do astronomy from the surface looking through Mars's atmosphere?

NASA announces "mission complete" for its Mars Exploration Rover (MER) Opportunity in a media briefing at 11 a.m. PST (2 p.m. EST) Wednesday, Feb. 13, from the agency’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California. The briefing followed NASA’s last planned attempts to communicate with Opportunity late Tuesday evening. The solar-powered rover last communicated with Earth June 10, 2018, as a planet-wide dust storm was blanketing the Red Planet. Briefing participants included: · Jim Bridenstine, NASA administrator, NASA Headquarters, Washington · Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator of the Science Mission Directorate, NASA Headquarters · Lori Glaze, acting director of the Planetary Science Division, NASA Headquarters · Michael Watkins, director, JPL · Steve Squyres, MER principal investigator, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York · John Callas, MER project manager, JPL · Matt Golombek, MER project scientist, JPL · Abigail Fraeman, MER deputy project scientist, JPL · Jennifer Trosper, Mars 2020 project systems engineer, JPL

NASA has offically declared Mars Opportunity dead after trying to wake it for the last few months. The Rover exceeded its design in every way and set records for the distance it covered on another planet.

NASA is making one last attempt to contact Opportunity Mars rover. If there is no response by an unspecified time on Wednesday, Opportunity might be declared dead, 15 years after arriving on Mars. #NASA #Mars #Tech #RIP Subscribe to us on YouTube: https://goo.gl/lP12gA Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv Follow us on: Website: https://www.cgtn.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChinaGlobalTVNetwork/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cgtn/?hl=zh-cn Twitter: https://twitter.com/CGTNOfficial Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/CGTNOfficial/ Tumblr: http://cctvnews.tumblr.com/ Weibo: http://weibo.com/cctvnewsbeijing Tiktok: https://m.tiktok.com/h5/share/usr/6593878228716666886.html?u_code=d1kab7mki4ai6e&utm_campaign=client_share&app=musically&utm_medium=ios&user_id=6593878228716666886&tt_from=copy&utm_source=copy Douyin: https://www.youtube.com/redirect?q=http%3A%2F%2Fv.douyin.com%2F8QTXhV%2F&redir_token=WkBScl40kZbx7ZwJ9M7QhhTjErx8MTU0NTcyMTg3N0AxNTQ1NjM1NDc3&event=channel_description

Mars contains some of the greatest attractions in the solar system. Here's stunning footage of those attractions like Olympus Mons, the tallest volcano which is three times as tall as Mount Everest. And Valles Marines, a canyon as long as the entire contiguous United States. Following is a transcript of the video: Imagine you could vacation on Mars. At first glance, Mars appears very different from Earth, but if you take a closer look, you'll discover that the Red Planet isn't all that different from our own. Our first stop, the North Pole. This ice cap is bigger than Texas, and is mostly covered in water ice and solid carbon dioxide, aka dry ice. Heading south, we'll visit Kasei Valles. It's a vast system of chasms five times longer and 10 times wider than the Grand Canyon, and scientists think it formed in a similar way. Billions of years ago, Mars was warmer, and covered with liquid water, which likely carved out valleys like this one. Mawrth Vallis is another valley close by, but it looks very different from our previous spot, thanks to its multicolored layers of clay. These deposits probably formed over millennia as Mars shifted towards a colder, drier climate, and they could provide clues to the history of liquid water and possible ancient life on Mars. The next stop is another place that may have been teeming with life long ago, Bacquerel Crater. It's filled with rocks made of sulfate similar to ones on Earth that form after water evaporates, which has led scientists to suspect that this crater may once have been a massive lake over 160 kilometers wide. Next stop, Iani Chaos. Now, this is one type of terrain you won't find anywhere on Earth. It's a maze of rugged cliffs and pillar-like hills called mesas that extend for 200 kilometers, and since there is nothing like it on Earth, scientists aren't exactly sure how these unique features formed. Its larger neighbor, Hydraotes Chaos, probably formed in a similar mysterious way. It stretches 350 kilometers, the same distance as New York City to Boston. West of Hydraotes, we find one Mars's greatest attractions, Valles Marineris. It's the largest canyon in the solar system, running the length of New York to Los Angeles, and plunging four times as deep as the Grand Canyon. Following the canyon's main channel north, we reach Hebes Chasma. It's tiny compared to Valles Marineris, but it's worth the trek for a glimpse of the chasma's prominent mesa. And no trip to Mars would be complete without a visit to Olympus Mons, the tallest volcano in the solar system. It covers a region the size of Arizona. It's three times as tall as Mount Everest, and can comfortably fit all the volcanoes in Hawaii. Moving south, we'll see Promethei Planum. It's a plane near the South Pole, covered in a sheet of ice nearly one and a half times as thick as the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. Next, we'll swing around to Rabe Crater. It's covered in giant sand dunes 150 to 200 meters high, almost as tall as the Golden Gate Bridge. Nearing the end of our tour is one of the oldest regions of Mars that dates back to at least 3.9 billion years ago, Neukum Crater. Scientists think this crater formed from a powerful impact early in Mars's history. In fact, you can still see pockmarks left by the crash. The last crater on our tour is formally named Galle Crater, but many call it Happy Face Crater for obvious reasons. Finally, we've reached our last stop, the South Pole. In 2018, scientists found evidence of a liquid lake beneath the ice, which could be filled with saltwater. But while that's a promising discovery, we still have much to learn about this fascinating world, like whether life once existed in those ancient lakes, or if it still exists today, possibly somewhere underground. But perhaps the biggest question of all, could human life survive here? Maybe in the future, you won't have to imagine your Martian vacation.

NASA's Curiosity Mars Rover has already descended from Vera Rubin Ridge, a region of Mount Sharp that it has been exploring for more than a year. But before it left, the rover took a 360-degree panorama of the area depicting its last drill hole on the ridge (at a location called "Rock Hall"), a new region it will spent the next year exploring (the clay unit) and its last view of Gale Crater's floor until it starts ascending in elevation again. Important note: Not all browsers support viewing 360 videos/images.

The second part of the ExoMars programme is ongoing. In Stevenage, UK, a rover is being built that will carry a drill and a suite of instruments dedicated to exobiology and geochemistry research. It will be the first mission to combine the capability to move across the surface and to study Mars at depth. The primary goal of the ExoMars programme is to address the question of whether life has ever existed on the red planet. The first part of the programme was launched in March 2016 with the Trace Gas Orbiter. The second part is planned for launch in 2020 and comprises the rover and surface science platform ExoMars is a joint endeavour between ESA and the Russian space agency, Roscosmos. ★ Subscribe: http://bit.ly/ESAsubscribe and click twice on the bell button to receive our notifications.

According to a report by Gizmodo, NASA's Opportunity Mars Rover has been silent for months after getting caught in an enormous dust storm on the Red Planet last summer, and NASA engineers have not heard from it since. However, NASA now says that it will send new commands to the rover in the hopes of waking it up, despite the decreasing chances of it ever becoming operational again. NASA reportedly called the circumstances that would have resulted in the specific problems it’s addressing “unlikely,” but Opportunity’s team hasn’t lost hope yet. John Callas, project manager for Opportunity at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), said in a statement, “We have and will continue to use multiple techniques in our attempts to contact the rover. These new command strategies are in addition to the ‘sweep and beep’ commands we have been transmitting up to the rover since September.” https://gizmodo.com/wake-up-oppy-nasa-sends-new-commands-to-mars-opportun-1832083019 http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com

On 25 December 2003, ESA’s Mars Express entered orbit around the Red Planet. The spacecraft began returning the first images from orbit using its High Resolution Stereo Camera just a couple of weeks later, and over the course of its fifteen year history has captured thousands of images covering the globe. This video compilation highlights some of the stunning scenes revealed by this long-lived mission. From breathtaking horizon-to-horizon views to the close-up details of ice- and dune-filled craters, and from the polar ice caps and water-carved valleys to ancient volcanoes and plunging canyons, Mars Express has traced billions of years of geological history and evolution.

NASA rover driver and robotics technologist Dr. Vandi Verma explains the behind-the-scenes of operating Mars spacecraft from Earth, as well as three big changes to expect with the Mars 2020 rover. How NASA Built the Fastest Spacecraft Ever -https://youtu.be/vcTQeqszsuw Read More The Space Roboticist: Dr. Vandi Verma https://www.sciencemag.org/careers/2015/07/space-roboticist She loves her day-to-day responsibility for the machine. “You definitely don’t want to be the one who drove the rover off a cliff! But I find it energizing rather than stressful. You’re completely focused.” Although human spacefaring has stalled, Verma says the spirit of exploration is alive and well in space robots. “I am happy to be working in robotics, pushing the envelope on space exploration,” Verma says. “We have reached Mars, our neighboring planet. We’ve have only just begun.” NASA Announces Landing Site for Mars 2020 Rover https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-announces-landing-site-for-mars-2020-rover "The rover mission is scheduled to launch in July 2020 as NASA’s next step in exploration of the Red Planet. It will not only seek signs of ancient habitable conditions – and past microbial life -- but the rover also will collect rock and soil samples and store them in a cache on the planet's surface. NASA and ESA (European Space Agency) are studying future mission concepts to retrieve the samples and return them to Earth, so this landing site sets the stage for the next decade of Mars exploration." Mars Helicopter to Fly on NASA’s Next Red Planet Rover Mission https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/mars-helicopter-to-fly-on-nasa-s-next-red-planet-rover-mission "The helicopter also contains built-in capabilities needed for operation at Mars, including solar cells to charge its lithium-ion batteries, and a heating mechanism to keep it warm through the cold Martian nights. But before the helicopter can fly at Mars it has to get there. It will do so attached to the belly pan of the Mars 2020 rover." ____________________ Science In The Extremes ventures to the ends of the earth to bring you pioneering research and innovations that are advancing our civilization and broadening our understanding of the universe.

For decades advocates of the exploration of the Moon have argued that this will make possible subsequent exploration of Mars. But is this really true? Recently several dozen experts critically examined whether astronaut exploration of the Moon could be used to feed forward to a human mission to the martian surface by the end of the 2030s. Their findings may surprise you. Join Tony Darnell and Alberto Conti as they discuss the findings of a recent Moon-to-Mars workshop with Clive Neal (Notre Dame), Steve Mackwell (USRA), and Joseph Cassady (Aeroject Rocketdyne).

NASA's InSight space probe has sent back the first sounds ever heard from the surface of Mars. "CBS This Morning" has details.

HuffPost reports that NASA’s new Mars lander has captured the first sounds of the “really unworldly” Martian wind. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena released audio clips of the alien wind Friday. The low-frequency rumblings were collected by the InSight lander. The lander collected the sounds during its first week of operations at Mars. The wind is estimated to be blowing 10 mph to 15 mph. according to the researchers, these are the first sounds from Mars that are detectable by human ears. Thomas Pike of Imperial College London said the rumbling is “rather different to anything that we’ve experienced on Earth, and I think it just gives us another way of thinking about how far away we are getting these signals.” https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/new-nasa-lander-captures-1st-sounds-of-martian-wind_us_5c0bb774e4b035a7bf5ba3b2 http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com

If life exists on Mars, it still hasn’t showed itself, but recent evidence from the red planet increasingly supports the possibility. Life could have developed there. Most of the conditions are right and nothing found so far rules out the possibility, either in the distant past or today. If something is or was alive there, it’s probably tiny. Since microbes make up the vast majority of life on Earth, microbes are the most likely thing to find somewhere else. It’s not so easy figuring out what “alive” means on another planet—let alone finding a living microbe. The upcoming Mars 2020 mission and its rover-based mobile laboratory will take another giant step toward answering the question. First, though, science needs to answer some questions about life here on Earth. It turns out that the dark, hard manganese oxide in varnish coating cliff faces and rocks throughout the American Southwest and elsewhere has a lot to say about the subject.
