NASA’s Perseverance rover just choked on a Mars rock

NASA’s Mars Rover’s dispute has been quite busy lately, moving on the surface of Mars taking the scenery and collecting cores of samples from open rocks on the planet along with soil samples. Things have been running very smoothly with the collection of five first rock core successfully completed, stored in the tube in the Rover for the mission of returning the collection of planned samples in the future. However, everything has been a little versatile with the sixth collection of core samples (and the overall seventh sample collection).

 

While perseverance managed to associate and extract the latest Marrian rock samples (from a rock dubbed publishing), perseverance detects anomalies because it carries a sample return process to conclusions and automatically stop the system. It happened during the phase known as “Coring Bit Dropoff”. This is where drill bits with the sample tube and the sample that has just been guided from the percussion drill at the end of the robot rover arm and to the carousel bit located in the chassis rover. That’s when the case “diligently diligent telephone”.

 

When telemetry reaches NASA, scientists can see from data that little core encountered a higher resistance than usual and earlier in the process to boot. In response, NASA issued a series of new commands to perseverance to extract bit bits and core sample tubes from South Korea and were not responsible for robot arms from carousel bits.

Some pictures taken include the image of leading this article which clearly showed a number of gravel-sized gravel debris in South Korea. This seems to have fallen from the sample tube when returned to Rover during the “Coring Bit Dropoff”.

NASA said that it seemed that the debris stopped the core of sitting itself properly, but no clear damage was done as Rover Shutdown Operation as programmed. Although the carousel bit can continue to operate successfully with the rubble submitted, the team aims to remove debris – a heimlich maneuver calculated if you want.

NASA said he would continue to analyze data and determine the approach that would ensure the debris did not end in another place should not be during the removal process, but sure it could finish the job.
