Drilling into Mars | ExoMars Rosalind Franklin mission (episode 3)

(0)

The ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover will drill deeper than any other mission has ever attempted on the Red Planet.

The third episode in the series shows how the rover will extract, collect and analyse martian samples in a high-fidelity simulation.

Rosalind Franklin will be the first rover to reach a depth of up to two metres deep below the surface, acquiring samples that have been protected from harsh surface radiation and extreme temperatures.

The drill system combines multiple precission mechanisms in an intricate automated sequence. It uses three extension rods that connect tor form a two-metre “drill string”.

As the rover drills, it will simultaneously investigate the borehole using infrared spectroscopy to study mineral composition.

The ExoMars Rosalind Franklin mission is part of Europe’s ambitious exploration journey to search for past and present signs of life on Mars.

  1. O avanço tecnológico da humanidade está ocorrendo de forma exponencial, com saltos abruptos em conhecimento que, muitas vezes, parecem surgir sem um desenvolvimento linear claro. A ciência oficial atribui isso à soma do conhecimento acumulado, mas existe um limite para o que podemos alcançar sozinhos em curtos períodos de tempo. Diante disso, considerando as possibilidades da astrobiologia e o próprio princípio copernicano que nos coloca como apenas mais uma espécie no universo, a ESA já analisou a hipótese de que a inteligência humana possa estar sendo assistida ou direcionada por uma forma de consciência externa? Se não diretamente, ao menos indiretamente, como um fenômeno de inspiração guiada? Existem padrões inexplicáveis na evolução científica que possam indicar isso?

  2. Human technological advancement is occurring exponentially, with abrupt leaps in knowledge that often seem to emerge without a clear linear development. Official science attributes this to accumulated knowledge, but there is a limit to what we can achieve alone in short periods of time. Given this, considering the possibilities of astrobiology and the Copernican principle that places us as just one more species in the universe, has ESA ever analyzed the hypothesis that human intelligence might be assisted or guided by an external form of consciousness? If not directly, at least indirectly, as a phenomenon of guided inspiration? Are there any unexplained patterns in scientific evolution that might indicate this?

  3. ESA, i have a question. Regarding energy generation, it will be through solar panels or RTGs, because according to the information I found it would be RTG using americium-241
