- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- Watch as NASA-JPL engineers test the Sample Caching System on the Perseverance Mars rover. Described as one of the most complex robotic systems ever built, the Sample and Caching System will collect core samples from the rocky surface of Mars, seal them in tubes and leave them for a future mission to retrieve and bring back to Earth.
The team is on track to launch Perseverance in July 2020 and land in Mars’ Jezero Crater in February 2021. For more information on the Mars 2020 Perseverance mission, please go to:

0:57 “To drill into the rock on Mars, pull out intact core
samples, seal them hermetically, and to be all done autonomously by a robot
hanging off the end of a rover on the surface of Mars has been a challenge.”
1:13 “We’ve got actually 3 robots necessary to do the Sample
and Caching Sytem: our Big Robotic Arm out on the front of the rover
that takes our drill, pushes it against the surface, and allows us to take core
samples.
1:28 “Then we put that core sample in the Bit Carousel
- the second robot - that takes that from the Robot Arm and puts it down inside
our Adaptive Caching System. This is the part of the Sample and Caching
System inside the rover.”
1:43 “We’ve got a little tiny robot, a special robot arm
called the SHA (Sample Handling Arm). It takes the samples out of the
handling carousel and moves them through Volume-Assessment, Image-Taking,
and eventually, to Sealing, and replaces the cylinder containing the
sample in a storage spot, all on its own in a matter of a few hours. We have designs
on bringing them back in…a decade.”
2:08 “Mars has been at the fore of our consciousness about
the questions of life. Could life exist in one of our nearest neighbors? I
think we have a lot to learn - life or no life - about the evolution of our solar
system, about our planet, by looking in depth at rocks back from Mars.”
Every aspect of the Mars 2020 mission is astonishing 🚀 God speed Perseverance!
you really dont get a scale for how complicated these rovers are until you see videos like this
can confirm complexity. source: worked on rover. it's really exciting to see these videos showcase what we can do!
Problem is getting it to Mars .....
All the best best NASA from India. It is more interesting.and we are waiting for the success. It will be the success of the whole world
That looks so fast in animation but actual working will take many hours to perform that arm motion.
But the Rover is very efficient in energy consumption 😎
So if successful, this would be the first time we get samples of soil / rock from Mars?
We have meteorites that came from Mars (some asteroid hit Mars and threw off pieces on Mars) but we don't know exactly where on Mars they came from. These samples we will know exactly where they came from and their context.
Yes
Nice! Thank you for your responses you guys :)
China has a similar plan, with the Tianwen-1 rover, which is already on its way to Mars.
How come you expected the core-samples to stay inside a vertical container with the opening pointing down?
You might have asked a toddler and he'd have told you: "No, daddy, the sand falls out if you do that". 😅
*I'm from the future and Perseverance has landed safely. ;)*
Ingenious people of NASA..... perseverance.
Truly inspiring stuff!
That's a complicated system. Kudos to the engineers behind it.
Super exited for touch down
Go perseverance 💞💞💞
Incredible technology! I hope to work on a project like this some day.
WOAH 🤖🚀
Fantastico !!! Parfait!!! Showww
So, the samples are stored INSIDE the chassis of the rover, sealed OVER the hole they're placed in and LEFT, presumably until a time AFTER the whole rover ceases to function. OK, the return vehicle arrives. I HOPE there is a system capable of reaching UNDER the rover, BREAKING the seal, and REMOVING the samples from their storage space. I always believed the best and easiest way of caching samples would be on the ground, where there wouldn't be a need for all that articulated machinery and blind operation.
In all those mission animations they put the probes on the surface of Mars. Another rover later picks them up
@@AngeEinstein I did see a different animation whith that, and I remember earlier ones with the samples on the ground. I wonder why it wasn't put i this one.
this is impressive
It seems odd to go to all that trouble to collect samples that are going to just sit there for years or decades. Why not just let what/whomever is going to eventually go to retrieve the samples just take their own samples when they go?
The samples they collect will be returned to Earth within 10 years, not decades. Humans will not land on Mars for 15 years at the soonest, and more likely 20 to 30 years or longer. The early sample return will give them years to study Martian soil ahead of any human arrival and help tailor the mission by knowing what to expect.
Sample return, though difficult, is far simpler than a manned mission to Mars, and it would be foolish to wait for a human landing if we have the ability to get soil back to Earth now.
I've been looking in vain for a decent answer to this question. The approach assumes that getting any hardware to Mars will continue to cost so much that you can't send up everything you need for a sample-return mission in a single launch. That seems like a pessimistic assumption. My suspicion is in 10 years' time we'll be more interested in other areas of the planet and less constrained by the launch costs. Being cynical, this means the main purpose of all this time and effort to produce samples is to visibly sink costs into future missions and so nudge politicians into supporting further expenditure to 'finish the job'.
So. How are they going to obtain the results physically from the rover?. Does NASA get any information about the composition of the samples meanwhile?
Any thoughts on how those mechanical devices can survive dust storms and not get bound up with grit? That must be a tough thing too achieve?
It's amazing a country started just over 200 years ago by an enlightened bunch of colonails like Washington, Franklin, and Hamilton would grow to become this technological superpower for good that explores the heavens those Founding Fathers could only dream about
ayooo
@Murat Gadjiev so jealous. The Europeans colonized basically the entire world yet there is only one America. You got some sour grapes
@@mphRagnarok China and India are making rapid progress in space and tech too. Don't be surprised if they achieve same technology level like US in 10-15 years because after all we are humans made from same DNA. It would be foolish to praise Americans as some supernatural humans with different DNA. Empires, societies rise and fall and so will America. No one remains at top or bottom forever. Its dynamic and evolving world. It's the short sightedness of us that we get fooled to think that America will always be at the cutting edge. Never make this mistake otherwise you are attacking the very basic rules of natural progression and change.
@@Insightful_Truth what a joke. That's what people like to tell themselves. American advantage was never about a DNA advantage. Obviously we're all humans.
Anyways what China and India are doing is what even primitive Soviet missions accomplished during the cold war.
@@mphRagnarok China and India became independent countries in around 1950 whereas US started 200 years ago. NASA was established way early than Indian and Chinese space programs. So obviously it's not a big deal if US is ahead. It would have been a big deal if NASA was formed later than Indian/Chinese space agencies and still surpassed everyone else in less time.
You like little child who started the race early than others and now is happy to have come first. By the way, it was Chandrayaan 1 mission of India in 2008 which found water on moon. How come NASA didn't find for 50 years lol ?
每个国家的科技进步都是全人类的进步,各国人都是命运与共的。
Awesome in-site...Thanks for sharing!
Insight*
The tubes are super clean and free of organic material: but I'm curious, how are they sealed? I feel like it's tricky to guarantee a perfect seal with absolutely rigid ceramics, no grease or elastomers, etc.
Welp, answered my own question: the seal is made of metal and is cold-welded to the tube. More details from webpage: "GEOCACHING ON MARS: HOW PERSEVERANCE WILL SEAL MARTIAN SAMPLES WITH A RETURN TO EARTH IN MIND"
I like his comment life or no life because it always seems everyone in this industry has a pipe dream of finding life around the next corner vs the valuable data we can find to benefit the life we're living.
Gjab👍👍👍
Great work ! The rovers keep getting bigger each time,
Why not if they analyzed the stone at space i mean the rover itself has a machine that analyzed the material of the stones , can saved up decades instead of send it back to the earth
The evolution of the robotic is amazing
Love science
Amazing
See ya youtube algorithm in a decade when we return to collect the samples from Mars 😂
Is it the guy from Death Proof?
No it's adam steltzner
What if the martian samples tubes get lost in the Martian dust storm? Recovery robots will have a tough time finding the samples after almost 6 - 10 years - if NASA planned the samples recovery mission from today.
I believe the vials are kept inside the rover itself before robotically being removed before the ends of perseverances life and eventually they’ll be ingressed into the returning lander. Just like this ESA video explains ruclips.net/video/RNnJBKR9lqY/видео.html
Clear for launch 🚀🇺🇸🎉🍾🥁🌎 one small step for man one long till for perseverance, for all humanity
I want be an ingegner of nasa😍😍
Balloons are a good kickoffs.
It is the reverse process of CNC milling machine, and its tool change
Wow.... 😍😍😍
Where are the rocks?
how is Perseverance Mars Rover
How they are gonna get those sample back to earth?
Return mission will land on Mars, deploy a fetch rover that collects samples, loads them into a rocket, launches the rocket to rendezvous with an orbiter, and transfers samples to return vehicle on orbiter. Orbiter launches return capsule to Earth.
@@rcktgirl05
Thanks..this is like a science fiction 😅
You're going to get them, Amit. No one told you???
सैल्यूट
This rover is designed for making these probes. But then NASA says that there MAYBE will be a sample return missing later?
Congress always has the final say, and elections happen every 2 years, so a lot can change in 10 years.
Amazinggg
All those who disliked are people from Uranus
Throw a ton of sand on it, see if it keeps going 👍
I have a surprise that’s for after the perseverance rover , do you want me to tell you?
No
@@drmantistoboggan2870 good
Good
holla holla get dolla
So great!!😘👍😘
Where’s what’s up for June?
Don't forget to give it a drone+Helium blimp with winch hooked to rover for an overview and 3d scanning
Adam Stelzner is so inspiring as a communicator of the engineering that goes into making these difficult Mars missions work -- great to see him back!
This is the future...
Yay! It's adam steltzner
Go NASA!!!
I see a black scientist and I feel very proud ✊🏾
no one cares
@@nabilhacene5826 And no one has to care, this guy is free to feel proud of whatever he wants to.
Io ci metterei sul rover ,al posto di ruote ,tre ruote a cingoli x ogni ruota normale
How about the Vaccine for Covid-19?
All the evil big pharma corps are working on it.
What does that have to do with this video lol
It would be sad for the rover team to see a spacex ship pick up a ton of the soil and bring it back in a few years.
Exactly. If you want a bunch of rocks from the nevada desert lets just send a 1mt/h robot which cost millions and make it bring some soil in a décade (their words) instead of calling a cheap spacex taxi AND bring the Trunk full of rocks AND minerals. Go spacex, in 4 years they Will be in mars with their cheap taxi even better , nasa Will Pay for the Fuel, gas, and the service.
When (or if... a big if) SpaceX can get hardware to Mars more efficiently than NASA, you can bet the first thing they will be doing is contracted launches for NASA payloads. So if these samples are going to be picked up and if SpaceX turns out cheaper than SLS for these super heavy launches, it will be NASA hardware in a SpaceX transport system.
the rover will be coming back to earth, or what?
No, NASA will send another spacecraft to Mars to retrieve and return the samples to Earth.
Smoke & Mirrors
^Brain dead
Tell us what's wrong with it then. Why couldn't this work?
The rims seams to be the main problem...
We mapped the moon so corporations know where to mine, might as well do mars.
What is the average Americans return for all of our research? Anyway
Realistically, the return for the average American is a more prosperous economy with new jobs. The government takes these risks because they are too large for any sane corporation to take on. Yet, once the technologies have begun development, the free market is the most effective for utilizing those new technologies and turning them into useful products.
@@coulombicdistortion1814 so overpaid heroes need not apply?
I have heard the promises for a lifetime, while public schools struggle and reasonable healthcare escape all our fixes.
I will never get over how dumb and cringey the name is. This is the only space mission name I ever had a problem with.
Will look forward how they get the samples back. Earth labs can tell us so much more.
"Perseverance" why do you find that dumb and cringey xd
It's the fifth rover landing on Mars in the quest to find signs of life.
Noun: Perseverance.
Continued effort to do or achieve something despite difficulties, failure, or opposition.
why do you call it dumb and cringey? For me it describes humanity's perseverance to find life on mars
Hey nasa I want be an astronaut but I am only 14 years old can you give me a chance to be an astronaut please
Ur not gonna be an astrounaut
Leaving comments on videos probably isn't the best way to become an astronaut
In a decade? Seems silly to me. In a decade, things will have changed so much that I don't think we'll even care about these.
So what I am hearing is that they have to think of all possible eventualities before they leave, with no room to adapt after launch. This is why humans needs to go. They can adapt to new environments quickly. Rover is nice but it’s time to send people. NASA is playing too safe and needs to take risk and go where no one has gone before.
Look at that black guy in the thumbnail. That’s the janitor. I guess they needed more people for the photo
