Brits Unveil Latest Robot To Search For Life On Mars

British scientists on Monday took the wraps off a prototype craft to search for signs of life on Mars, hailing it the smartest piece of equipment ever designed for exploration of the red planet.

Details about Bridged
  • 1 Is an autonomous robotic scientist
  • 2 The project costs $US 910 millions
  • 3 Measures 3 meters by 1.8-meter
  • 4 It costs $US189 millions
  • 5 It will cover more ground (range) than MERs.
  • 6 It will have incorporated smarter sensors and adjustment for a safer landing.
  • 7 It will be a solar powered.
  • 8 It will be tested in Spain and Tenerife to prove its capabilities.
  • 9 It is expected to weigh 150 kg in Earth (lighter than MER with 186 kg).
  • 10 It will have a life marker chip
  • 11 It will incorporate a micro seismometer to facilite the water search.
  • 12 It will have a long drill tube of 2 meters.
  • 13 It includes an orbiter and a descent module
  • 14 The orbiter will operate as a data relay satellite.
Then wait beyond than 2011 for knowing the happening news.
