Perseverance - Preparing the Future

Trying to live on another planet is a very risky goal even if it's just a little outpost with a small crew. From the the trip itself to sustaining the crew for a month or so in an environment that is not well understood., the risk of failure can be high if we don't have the proper data we need to model the environment sufficiently enough to minimize risk of failure.
NASA's Perseverance Rover will give us some of this vital data as we prepare to make planetfall on Mars in the 2030's
If you like this video please share.
Thank You for watching.
Please checkout out our android space simulator app called Curiosity. It's lets you send spacecraft to all of the inner planets of the solar system from earth.
It also lets you land the Curiosity rover on Mars going through the 7-Minutes of Terror.

Dude! You're really stepping up in term of quality of your videos, congratulations! I luv it!

[@ReflectiveLayerFilm]

Thanks man, really appreciate it. I'm learning how to use Blender and incorporate it more into my workflow.

[@LearningCurveScience]

Cool video, I love your animations, especially the technical ones as they really help to explain the concept (the spiral compressor was especially good). I love the idea of going to Mars, and the technical problems we'll have to overcome. We are an inventive species though and I'm sure we'll overcome them. Harvesting oxygen from the martian atmosphere is very clever.

[@ReflectiveLayerFilm]

Cool, thanks! Yeah the spiral compressor amazed me when I set up the simulation it it just worked. This is one reason I like doing the more technical ones because it allows me to build these little simulations and see them work.

Great work!

[@ReflectiveLayerFilm]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@AnupamVipul]

Great work as usual but can U tell which tools U are using to make the 3D mesh

[@ReflectiveLayerFilm]

I wish I had that kind of 3d skill. The models of almost all the spacecraft in my videos come from either NASA or ESA. However in this video I was "forced" to design the Descent Stage in the opening scene in Blender myself because it wasn't available on the NASA site.

Wow that sherloc instrument really captured my interest!! How are they making deep UV? I thought. Low power AlGaN LEDs? No! Frequency quadrupled Nd:YVO solid state laser? No! Highly filtered Hg or Xe discharge tube? NO! Deuterium lamp? NO NO NO!!! They're using a neon-copper vapor laser!! This is so weird when practically everyone has been ditching ion and gas lasers for the past 2 decades! I work in a laser lab with thousands of lasers and haven't seen a metal vapor laser for over 10 years now! But I guess it has ultranarrow linewidth and quasicontinuous pulsed operation that only consumes a few watts of power somehow! Wild! I really wonder how they are going to do Raman with it though since sample fluorescence is usually the bane of signal to noise ratio in Raman spectrometers and practically everything fluoresces at the 248.6 UVC wavelength of this thing.

[@ReflectiveLayerFilm]

Wow. That's really cool the many types of lasers you've worked with. This is way beyond by KZbin pay rate! LOL. The development of SHERLOC started back in 1998 so that might explain why they are using that kind of tech.

[@ReflectiveLayerFilm]

The Perseverance Rover will do lots of other amazing things when it gets to Mars including launching proof-of-concept helicopter. If you like small KZbinr science channels check out the subreddit I've created just for that. www.reddit.com/r/SmallKZbinrScience/ Show these guys some love.

I am wondering about project management, because it takes 10 years to make a rover, and we can send one every 2 years, that probably means the next rover is 8 years in when the first result of the previous one comes, how do you integrate lesson learned when you're 80% done?

[@ReflectiveLayerFilm]

I don't follow. How would the new rover already be 8 years in development before we get data from the current rover?

[@nraynaud]

@@ReflectiveLayerFilm won't they send a rover at every conjunction (26months) from now on ?

[@ReflectiveLayerFilm]

No. The major space agencies will send spacecraft to mars at every conjunction but each spacecraft will not be based or needs to be related to the previous one. Curiosity for example landed on Mars in 2012. Development of Perseverance was started in 2014. So NASA already had 2 years of data from Curiosity before the development for Perseverance even started, and probably another 4 years before new stuff could no longer be integrated into it.

[@hayatunistiqomah3430]

How many possible concentrate CO2 between CO in CO2/CO output? Thanks :)

[@ReflectiveLayerFilm]

Not sure I understand the question. Can you ask the question in a different way?

[@hayatunistiqomah3430]

@@ReflectiveLayerFilm Another question, in several references it's explained that the anoda side needs to be flushed with CO2 in order to reduce the risk of corrosive. The question is whether there is an input at the anoda side? while SOEC only has 1 input section, thanks buddy

Humans will not be on mars for 100+ years. Robots are the best option.
