Mars Expedition

In June and July of 2003, two unique robot rovers were launched by NASA bound for Mars. The goal of NASA was to collect informations about our neighbour planet, the red planet called Mars. Previous expeditions of the last nearly 30 years have given us so much informations about Mars, but they have been fleeting visits and not enough data had been collected. But this mission would be different. The two rovers were expected to last 90 Martian days at best, but even after more than 1000 Martian days on, they were still going strong.

The two rovers were nicknamed Spirit and Opportunity. They weighed about 180 kg each, that is about 400 lbs in American terms. They carried batteries, communication equipment, and solar panels. The rovers used artificial intelligence that even allowed them to refuse to do what their controller told them, if they felt an action would be dangerous. Because of the conservative nature of their use, they lasted more than 10 times the period originally planned and have travelled a distance of more than 10 miles across the Martian surface.

The first one to make it to the surface of Mars was the rover nicknamed Spirit. Spirit landed on Mars January 4th, 2004 in a crater a mere 10km from the target. Spirit made many important discoveries. From its start in the crater, it has discovered many rocks of volcanic origin and the action of subsurface water on these rocks. Spirit discovered patches of soil with a high salt content that tends to be caused by the former presence of water. It discovered also one particularly interesting rock, nicknamed Humphrey, a volcanic-like rock formed possibly by magma. It had brightly coloured, mineralized parts inside, that would most likely be caused by water finding its way into it, before or sometime after the rock was formed. This finding alone has removed doubts from many scientists whether water existed or not on Mars at some time in the past.

Not only has Spirit helped us understand more on the geological and physical aspects of Mars: Spirit took the first picture of Earth from the surface of another planet. It has also taken night-time pictures of the transit of the moons and even Mercury across the sun. Spirit was lucky enough to catch a lunar eclipse of the Mars' moon Phobos as it disappeared into the shadow of Mars.

The second rover to make it to the surface of Mars was Opportunity. It landed 21 days after Spirit on January 25th, 2004. It landed on the opposite side of the planet in a crater in the middle of a plain. Opportunity worked extensively in craters on rocks presumably formed by sulphite rich sands from evaporated lakes and that had been pressed and formed by the elements, wind, pressure, and water. This again was used by scientists as proof that water existed on Mars in ancient times.

The two rovers have sent back hundreds of thousands of images in both grey-scale and colour of the Martian surface. The beautiful panoramic shots can take your breath way. Equipped with a geological kit and motorized rock tools, they were able to look beneath the surface to discover more than previously thought imaginable.

All of these new discoveries have increased our knowledge while at the same time increasing the amount of questions we have about Mars. Why did the water disappear? Was there life on Mars? Could humans live on Mars? As these little rovers keep working, maybe we will even have more questions answered in the near future. Who knows what lies beyond the next rock outcropping?

Snow Removal $70.1 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Snow removal is the job of removing snow after a snowfall to make travel easier and safer. This is done by both individual households and by governments and institutions. In places with light snow, brooms or other light instruments can be used to brush off snow from walks and other surfaces. In colder regions with more precipitation, the main tools of the private snow clearer are the snow shovel, a large lightweight shovel used to push snow and lift it, and the snow scoop, a large and deep hopperlike implement fitted with a wide handle and designed to scoop up a load of snow and slide it on any slippery surface to another location without lifting. Shoveling entails a considerable amount of physical effort and can be a strain on the back and the heart. Each year many senior citizens and middle aged persons die from heart attacks while shoveling snow. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.

Design of Equipment for Lunar Dust Removal $24.72 Original publisher: Austin, Tex.: Mechanical Engineering Dept., University of Texas at Austin; Washington, D.C.?: National Aeronautics and Space Administration, 1991] OCLC Number: (OCoLC)60814198 Excerpt: ...3,0 ALTERNATIVE DESIGNS 3,1 Prevention All support equipment for moon base which has the possibility of being exposed to the lunar environment, directly or indirectly, must consider the existence of the lunar dust in its design. Although removal may not be required in some cases, the cleaning task will play a major role in the allocation of crew time and equipment maintenance if prevention measures are not taken. In addition, many items are difficult to clean due to their geometry, scale, surface properties, operating condition, and location. Also, the safety of the crew should not be dependent on regular performance of lunar dust removal from equipment and surfaces. 3.1.2 Prevention Alternatives Prevention alternatives exist in both hardware and operation design for all systems exposed to the lunar dust. Areas of particular interest are: Large surface areas ( solar arrays, thermal radiators ) Optical Equipment ( windows, lenses, mirrors ) Extravehicular Mobility Unit ( spacesuit, portable life support ) Mechanical Systems ( lunar rovers, robotics ) Interfaces ( tools, connectors ) These areas were grouped according to the mode in which lunar dust contamination presents the greatest difficulty to their operation. In the following discussion, concepts are presented for the prevention of problems associated with exposure to the lunar dust environment. 3.1.2.1 Large Surface Areas Large areas such as solar arrays and thermal radiators present a large and possibly critical problem for lunar dust removal 22 pg. 74 ]. For these surfaces the layer of dust present on the surface will decrease the system's efficiency approximately linearly with the amount of 10
