THE PLANETARY SOCIETY

Taking samples of other worlds is an important step towards discovery, but it is an expensive and complex process. Honeybee Robotics and The Planetary Society teamed up to solve this problem. This is PlanetVac. Learn more: http://www.planetary.org/planetvac/ After a few prototypes, PlanetVac is ready to be tested in Mojave, CA on a Xodiac rocket made by Masten Space Systems. NASA selected PlanetVac to fly on a Xodiac rocket as part of its Flight Opportunities program. If this PlanetVac Xodiac test is successful, it will significantly increase its chance of being selected on a real space mission. PlanetVac Xodiac was supported by Planetary Society members. Over 800 people joined the team by donating. Thank you to the 887 donors from 35 countries who supported PlanetVac Xodiac in 2018. Special thanks to Pendleton Ward and Dustin Roberts who provided generous matching funds to inspire the community in support of the project.

Support space exploration at https://planet.ly/moremissions What if Mars once harbored life? What if an asteroid impact could be stopped? What if the mysteries of the cosmos could be known? What if we never bothered to find out? You’re not going to let that happen. You’re going to tell your representatives in Congress that you want the answers to these questions. That you want elected officials to come together and work to defend the Earth, explore other worlds, find life out there, and know the cosmos. You’re going to secure funding for more missions. You’re going to ensure a future for space exploration. -- Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: http://planet.ly/ytsubscribe Follow us!

Learn more about PlanetVac, a new low-cost, reliable approach to sampling planetary surfaces: https://planet.ly/meetplanetvac Some of the biggest discoveries we make in planetary science rely on the seemingly simple act of picking up pieces of other worlds. But grabbing samples is not easy, and these kinds of missions are expensive and filled with risk. The Planetary Society wants to help make things better, so we’ve partnered with the innovative space technology company, Honeybee Robotics, to create a planetary surface sampling device called PlanetVac.

Learn more at sail.planetary.org. Voiceover: In 2015, The Planetary Society, the world’s largest non-profit space organization, launched its citizen funded spacecraft, LightSail 1. The test spacecraft successfully deployed its reflective mylar sails, proving that our sail deployment technology works. Now we are taking the next step with LightSail 2. We will demonstrate to the space community that solar sailing really works and is an inexpensive way of navigating the cosmos. We’ll be launching on onboard the SpaceX Falcon Heavy, the world’s most powerful operational rocket. LightSail 2 will go deeper into space and attempt the first controlled solar sail flight in Earth orbit.
