[ad_1] NASA’s Mars Rover has deposited its second rock sample for the historic Mars Sample Return mission. NASA's Perseverance Rover has now deposited its second rock sample, following the first which was deposited less than a week ago for NASA's Sample Return programme. Mars Sample Return is NASA's programme to bring important scientific samples back to Earth in a bid to study the red planet's conditions for potentially establishing a colony one day. NASA's Mars Sample Return programme is a series of missions to retrieve scientific samples of Mars collected by the Perseverance rover. One of the most ambitious space missions ever planned, the Mars Sample Return mission would allow scientists to study those samples using state-of-the-art technology here on Earth. Just days ago, the mis...

[ad_1] NASA is preparing a meteorite protective measure for its Mars Sample Return spacecraft with the help of this gun. Spacecrafts are very advanced but highly sensitive vehicles which have to withstand the tremendous pressure of the vacuum in space. Although they are built to withstand the harsh conditions of outer space, they are still at a risk of being damaged by asteroids and meteorites. Even the smallest meteorite could damage the spacecraft enough to jeopardize the mission. NASA recently concluded its first planetary defense test to protect Earth against potential asteroid impacts. It seems like the space agency is planning the same strategy for its other spacecraft.NASA is currently testing a light-gas gun which hatter micrometeorite fragments and other space debris to prote...
