Mars Science Laboratory: You’ve never seen a technology like this
June 12th, 2009
The following video explains perfectly the mission of the Mars Science Laboratory in its arrival at Mars, it’s a “must see”, it lasts 7 minutes, but at each instant shows the high technology involved in the project.
I leave you with the video, which shows the spectacular precision that has its landing on Mars.
In the video there is a system that seemed science fiction, ChemCam. It is a system of laser-induced spectroscopy, which can point to a rock at a distance of up to 13 meters, vaporizing a small amount of minerals and collecting the spectrum of emitted light by the vaporized rock to instantly detect the composition. The mission is to discover if the life on Mars was possible.
Great stuff! Love all your projects
