For many people, who want to experience the feeling of driving a supercar is not particularly difficult thing. But not everyone has the opportunity to drive NASA (United States NASA) latest SEV (space exploration).
Weighing 3 tons of SEV is a NASA research and development of next-generation space exploration vehicle, used primarily for Earth-like planets, such as Mars. Business Insider author Jessica Orwig experiences a SEV driving feeling. Overall, she felt that driving a car was not used to driving vehicles on Earth, there is an escape from the Earth’s experience.
1, the driving experience of the venues in the United States Mars Yard at Kennedy Space Center, Texas (Mars yard).
2, this place was called the Mars yard, because it is based on the landscape design of the surface of Mars, there are hills and obstacles.
3, a roving vehicle on the Moon, Mars Exploration Rover to be more advanced. For example, there is a pressure on the car warehouse, there are facilities for sleeping and washing, you can let two astronauts for 14 consecutive days off.
4, another breakthrough, astronaut space suit can fire star adventure behind the car, for adventure inside of the car can also play a protective role, also facilitate the astronauts wore.
5 because the spacesuit have been supercharged, wears a space suit as long as 15 minutes. But if you start from scratch ready, wears a space suit for several hours.
6, roving vehicle there is another entrance at the side of this entrance and homes connected to Mars, astronauts from home to roving vehicle on Mars, does not need to be exposed.
7, Mars Exploration Rover looks heavy, but very flexible. All 12 wheels can be rotated 360 degrees, this also means that the car can form in any direction, such as forward, backward, diagonal or parallel (if you think lateral side parking is difficult, that it is a very nice feature), you can even spin around 360 degrees.
8, which is within the Mars Expedition Rover camera images, because there are a lot of obstacles on the ground, so this car is like riding the horse, rather than drive a Tesla.
9, this is a moving picture, known as “crab walk”, which Mars home side entrance and dock.
10 because no auto repair station on Mars, so the Mars Expedition Rover had 12 wheels. If a wheel flat tire, you can promote it with the rest of the wheel moves.
11, 12 wheels, and 360-degree movement, you might think that the car can be complex to operate. But the truth is just the opposite. This car is quite simple, its operator looks like a truck stalls.
12, because the operation is convenient, that will give the astronauts time to view the external environment (such as driving to the edge of a precipice in front), and avoid dangerous situations occur.
13, speed is not the ultimate goal of this Mars exploration vehicle, so you can slowly open. Its fastest speed of about 10 km, 3.5 km/h slower than the Lunar roving vehicle. But it left the Mars configuration allows this car home 200 kilometers distance, reaching the moon before astronauts maximum activity was less than 10 kilometers in RADIUS.
14, the Mars Expedition Rover can be a safe haven. If there is unusual activity of the Sun leads to increased radiation, and the Rover can guarantee within 72 hours of the car is not affected by radiation. iPhone 5 case Givenchy
15, in the end, we see a film-Mars rescue in the eyes of the Mars Exploration Rover. Looks like NASA’s Mars Exploration Rover, NASA, after all, is one of the Adviser to the film.
