[@EnDSchultz1]

To my knowledge, this is the most complex and risky autonomous space mission that has ever been attempted. I'm still flabbergasted that it actually worked to perfection.

[@iancd9171]

+EnDSchultz1 What about the Rosetta mission that landed on comet Churi ? An awesome feat too (even more impressive in my opinion !)

[@stephenvoncrven4319]

+Ian cd you are right, curiosity is hitting a duck with a rock in a lake. rosetta is hitting a fly with a spit in a city.

[@EnDSchultz1]

I was referring to the descent and landing. Rendezvous in space is easy from an engineering and programming sense.We've been doing it for decades. The size of the target isn't really important as long as your math is good and your ship has thrusters precise enough to accurately produce velocity changes. Momentum does the rest. Furthermore, in deep space, commands for corrections can be sent from Earth, and don't need to be programmed. Thus, rendezvousing with an asteroid in zero gravity (a la Rosetta) really isn't any more difficult than inserting into a specific orbit around Mars. The Curiosity landing, by contrast, had to enter the atmosphere, controlling its initial descent aerodynamically by rotating the heat shield/capsule, detach the skycrane, activate the hydrazine thrusters, nullify its horizontal velocity, hover gently to a few meters above the surface, lower the rover, detach the sling, and fly the skycrane clear...All using nothing but on-board sensors and data and fully autonomous control. And it landed perfectly to within a few kilometers of its target. So, no. Rosetta is not comparable in technical, engineering, and programming difficulty to the landing of Curiosity. Not even close.

[@iancd9171]

EnDSchultz1 Yeah, not convinced by your argument there. You seem to brush off the achievements of the Rosetta mission a bit quickly, while blowing out of proportion the Curiosity ones. (now don't get me wrong, Curiosity is amazing too !) You could say we've been re-entering atmospheres for decades too. Doing it on Mars is basically just giving it sensors and programming it so that it does it without direct human control. By the way, having an atmosphere is nice, it means you don't need as much fuel to decelerate. Meanwhile Rosetta had to go at just the right speed, to just the right place to orbit Churi - and they have very limited fuel to do so. And that's after a ten-year journey through space (compared to that, Mars is our neighbour). After that they had to drop Philae on a mess of a surface, again just at the right speed so that it didn't bounce off the comet - and they couldn't do it manually because it was (if I recall) 30 light-minutes away. So let's just say both feats are amazing, aye ? Because saying that Rosetta is "not even close" in terms of difficulty is kind of just insulting towards the people who put so much hard work into it :) (not that I am one of them, but let's be considerate anyway)

[@stephenvoncrven4319]

EnDSchultz1 as all the evaluations, they change with the purpose considered. you are considering the "flying" part of the project, but let's switch to the optimisation of the bare-metal hardware and we find that rosetta had to face serious challenges in terms of duration (hybernation in deep space) and resilience to "whatever" comes that far away; not mentioning all the previous manouvers (years-long) needed to GET to the point. earth to mars paths are pretty known. but as always, every project has different aims hence different perks and focuses, so we can even say it's pointless to compare technical difficulties. BUT, one thing that rosetta achieved like no one: it was a first attempt and a success. we already tried to send rovers all over the system so we have know-how (which is HUGELY important). rosetta had none. and that's the main achievement.

[@TheTornado121]

This really is a masterpiece of engineering. It sat on top of 2,000,000 pounds of thrust, traveled through the intense radiation of space for 8 months and all that to touch down in a smooth manner a human would have survived. NASA engineers truly are a race on their own.

[@runninguru1]

The part where the rover detaches and starts the thrusters freaks me out. SO MUCH in my mind wants to freak out and say that the thrusters won't upright it! I know better, obvs, but all the same....a masterpiece, like you said.

Seventythird I meant after it left Earth's atmosphere, it was in space and when it passed the camera at about 0:34, there was sound, when there should have been none. Also, I would think that sound would travel on Mars due to its atmosphere. I've actually never checked to see how thin it's atmosphere is, but I've always thought sound would travel on Mars...
