Tomorrow, NASA’s March 2020 Perseverance Rover is expected to land on the surface of the red planet while carrying a special payload— the names of more than 10 million people.
Last year, the area company asked others around the world to submit their names to board the rover.
In the end, more than 10. 9 million people did so and their names were engraved on 3 beams of nail-sized silicon chip electrons.
To adjust the most names on all 3 chips, the line of text is less than one thousandth the width of human hair, according to NASA.
The strategy used to record names on chips is used to manufacture high-precision nanoscale devices.
Silicon chips joined an aluminum plate in the rover’s appearance, which will reach the red planet after an adventure of approximately seven months.
The chips also involve testing the 155 finalists in NASA’s Name the Rover competition, which the firm also organized last year.
Participants who submitted their names to burn in the rover won a “Mars boarding pass” and “loyalty points” that can be used to project patches.
If you were unable to send your call last time, you can request to send it to Mars on NASA’s next flight to red Planet on the area agency’s website. To date, more than 4. 4 million new reserves have been made through others worldwide.
The Perseverance rover is expected to land on the planet around 3:55 p. m. And Thursday.
If you need to stay on landing, the area company will provide the live policy of NASA’s public channel and NASA website, as well as the area’s company smartphone app, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitch, Daily Motion and THETA. Tv.
The rover is a clinical robot, weighing about 2,300 pounds, that will look for symptoms beyond microbial life on the red planet, while reading the climate and geology of Mars. The project will pave the way for long-term human exploration of Mars.
The rover landing is the 28-mile-wide Jezero crater, a domain that researchers say once housed a river delta billions of years ago, making it a promising position to look for symptoms of microbial life.
Perseverance also carries a special payload in the form of an exclusive technological delight: a helicopter known as “Engineerity” that will attempt the planet’s first controlled and powered flight.
