Assignment 3 Exploring Mars has been one of the biggest missions and tasks that ever existed in discovering the outside universe; this mission have been seriously taken by most of the major astronomy agencies that are willing to contribute to success and developing astronomy. Exploring the outside world would most of the times require advanced, and well equipped spaceship or vehicles that will be able to encounter all of the outside atmospheric factors. On December 11 1998, NASA has launched a 638 kilograms (1,418 pounds) robotic space probe which was intended to preform many tasks including: monitoring the Martian weather and climate changes, determining the water distribution on the Martian surface, searching for any previous climate changes…show more content…
Many questions come to take place in the investigation process; for example how could it be possible for some “simple calculations” that can be done by “anyone” lead to a hug failure to one of the biggest aeronautics agencies in the world? And does it mean that there wasn’t enough work done reviewing one of the revolutionary project that could’ve made huge discoveries to science?. One of the very important skills of engineering is team work (discussed in class), engineers are one to be the first people to be considered problem solvers, simply because engineering involves great deep thinking process, and “thinking outside the box”. A better team work was demonstrated by NASA after its major failure. On November 26 2011, NASA launched two missionary rovers that were equipped with one of the best developed and advanced pieces of technology ever sent to Mars. After watching the amazing video which demonstrated one of the most successful missions to the Martial surface; in other words, the way curiosities (the two rovers) were dropped on the Martian surface, was beyond creative. On the second mission, another method was used to drop the rovers which was the main reason of the success of the mission. At a certain distance from the Martian surface, one part of the spaceship separated from the front of the spaceship to continue to the
