2 Ingenuity-class helicopters to join Mars sample return efforts

The campaign to bring genuine Mars samples to Earth will now include two mini-helicopters. NASA officials involved with the Mars sample return (MSR) effort announced today (July 27) that they plan to redesign the mission, abandoning an earlier draft that required the European Space Agency (ESA) “fetch rover” to land on the mission. own lander. NASA’s Perseverance rover, which is expected to remain active when NASA’s MSR lander lands in 2031, will now be tasked with carrying collected and stored samples onto a Mars climbing vehicle. If that fails, however, two helicopters like the Ingenuity, which landed with Perseverance last year, would be a backup option for retrieving the cache itself. The helicopter will be similar to the Ingenuity in terms of size and mass, but with two key differences, NASA MSR program manager Richard Cook told reporters at a briefing today. “There will be a landing leg that includes, underneath, the mobility wheel,” Cook expl...

We learned to say Cardonnay and “Look at me”, talk like Prue and Sue and call ourselves sneaky fools, and don’t forget “I have feelings in my waters”, love to dance off the beaten track and guys propose to their girlfriends at Harvey Norman’s Store every where. Written by Melbourne comedians and actors Jane Turner and Gina Riley, who played mother (Kath Day) and daughter (Kim) respectively in the fictional outer suburbs of Fountain Lakes, the show made history for ABC and later for the Seven Network.

Gone are the daily briefings with updates on the number of cases, hospitalizations, and deaths. But this perception does not correspond to reality. While hospitalization and death rates are relatively lower than in previous waves – thanks to the rollout of vaccinations and naturally acquired immunity – 95% of all Australia’s COVID cases have occurred since the New Year. The daily infection rate continues to run into the tens of thousands. Nearly 3000 Australians died from COVID in the first quarter of 2022, placing it among coronary heart disease and stroke as the leading cause of death.
