The Mole just goes to show how easy it is to get hyper focused on certain details and completely disregard so many other possibilities which may hinder its intended progression. It kind of reminds me of SpaceX trying to land SN-XX and failing until someone said, "How about we try all three rockets to land it and if one doesn't work, we'll still have the other two available rockets to land the thing." They spent so much time on trying to get just two rockets to work that they completely overlooked the obvious solution of trying all three and cutting one off if indeed they all fired. Lo and behold, the thing worked. Gold star for the stupid guy in the back.

One of the more interesting discovers was when when on 24 December 2021, InSight registered vibrations equivalent to a magnitude 4.0 marsquake. Satellite images of a 150-meter-wide crater later confirmed that a meteor had struck thousands of kilometers away from the lander. This particular shock excited seismologists because unlike previously recorded impacts, it was strong enough to produce surface waves.

It's a shame that the solar panels were not equipped with a cleaning mechanism. I envisage a long thin brush possibly pivoting in the centre of each panel array and could revolve to wipe over all panels. Maybe the brush head could rotate also to increase effectiveness. But I guess hindsight is a wonderful thing.

@RobertSmith-oc5nf 6 месяцев назад

I see wipers that don't touch the panels but blow high compressed air out of small air nozzels to clean all dust

@RobinTheBot 6 месяцев назад

You would think, but I've asked a lot of people and the message is *it's harder than it looks!* A wiper is just sandpaper with extra steps. People don't realize how different it is with basically no atmosphere and absolutely no water. You can't compress air to use, because frankly, there isn't enough and it's full of dust too. Worse, this dust is WAY finer than anything you're likely to find on earth... Water makes things clump up, but there simply isn't any on Mars. Dust can be as arbitrarily small as you like. To learn more, learn about Lunar Dust. The final boss of dust management! It's a genuinely impossible engineering challenge, we've tried many times and many ways. You see the siesmometer had a wiper, but only until it was placed against the ground. So it's only meant to work once or twice, and did not need to be optically clear. Managing dust in space in general is a nightmare. The electricity and mass both attract dust in space. Imagine a world where wiping dust out wouldn't send it away, but just above the surface only to inevitably drift back.

@AKUSUXs Год назад

Ideas to help remove dust... Something like a CA Duster that would move in a circular pattern around the panels every so often? Or be able to tilt the panels so they are vertical (maybe not even that much) and then a small vibratory motor to shake the panels and help the remove the dust. One other thought, a small compressor (if that's possible to compress Martian Air) that can send compressed air through small openings scattered around each panel.

@clinicallyinane8098 Год назад

There are a hundred ways to improve Insight's design. Given that weight and volume are a big factor, I was thinking of a compressed air cylinder with hoses and small diffusers pointing at each panel. It would only be a few grams, and something the size of a pellet gun cartridge would keep them clear for years. Use argon for extra mass. The gas would be so dense compared to Martian atmo that it would blast the dust away. Run the bot until it's on its last legs, then release a puff and go right back to work.

@AKUSUXs Год назад

@@clinicallyinane8098 Good ideas!

@khairulhelmihashim2510 Год назад

put a rotor blade on top of the panel to blow dust. a small wind turbine also can generate extra electricity.

@volvo245glt Год назад

Fold/unfold the panels again to get the dust off, fire those rocket thrusters to shake the lander... Surely they would've found a way if they wanted the mission to continue and had more of their budget to spend on extending it.

@AKUSUXs Год назад

@BB Sky The air pressures is also a lot lower so there's less molecules thwt can move. I think that means a 35 wind on Mars would feel a lot less stronger. The opening scene in The Martian could not happen on Mars, as far as the amount of dust, particles, and wind strength. If this is not correct please let me know.

In the very least 50% of the profits should go back to the government once production is ongoing.

If you think about the entire weight of an atmosphere being stripped away from a rocky body with a liquid core. The crust would expand and create fractures that could go all the way down to the core. If you take heat and the elements found there into account it would be at a much higher pressure than the surface. So the magma would ooze out like a gusher on its way to a low pressure area. This could also explain the vast amount of unground water that we have detected. The planet quite literally opened up on the inside and some of the surface water found its way in before it was stripped away.

How hard could it have been to duct tape a brush to the side of the arm to clean the panels 💀

@justanotherviewer1282 Год назад

Probably would cost another 50$mil to attach some brush and they scraped off the idea of it idk, i was thinking the same too, built an advanced instruments put it in a rocket and flew onto another planet yet can't attach a simple brush or any cleaning item on it, sure things are not the same on earth as on the surface of mars but there has to be something right?

A hot day on Mars is only 2 degrees colder than winter here in Minnesota! Love it

What a fascinating video about what was learned about Mars' makeup, despite unexpected snags. Thank you. 👍

As a curious layperson I really appreciate your efforts in conveying some very complicated science into easily digestible bits for someone like me to understand and doing it really, really well. So much effort must go into your vids that I very much appreciate. I was slightly less keen on the anthropomorphism of the machinery. I know it adds to the drama, especially for kids who might be watching this but still. The mission was amazing and all credit to Nasa and it's scientists for pulling it off. I was intrigued when you made a comment on the state of Mars's environment as 'currently' - do you think at some point in the future there will be an attempt to colonise the planet and make it's environment less forbidding to humans? Thanks again and I hope you have a lovely Christmas and a peaceful New Year!

Unforgivable oversight not being able to clean the panels.

@TheStockwell Год назад

That was a problem for earlier missions. The newer Mars rovers use Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators and are not reliant on solar power. 🚀

I figured I'd be skimming one 50-minute video about rocks on Mars. (Rocks...for 50 minutes...really? Yes, really!) Three videos watched straight through and almost two hours later, I've just subscribed. Very well presented and compelling content. The "humanizing" of these scientific instruments complimented in other comments really isn't over-done, either.

What Insight need was plastic covering its solar cells that could be rotated through a brush capable of removing the dust. That’s extra weight, of course. But space launches are getting cheaper.
