There are many different purposes for robots. They can be made to help people remember to do basic tasks such as taking their medicine and remembering to brush their teeth to roaming mars to check for habitability. Robots can help astronauts do the dangerous tasks that they should not do.
The purpose of the curiosity rover is to determine if mars is suitable for humans to live on and learn about the mars environment. The curiosity rover is the size of a small SUV and has a “host of scientific experiments to zap, analyze and take pictures of any rock within reach of its 7-foot arm” (SPACE C). It was designed to go over obstacles and travel a long distance per day. The curiosity rover gets its power from a radioisotope thermoelectric generator (SPACE C).
The rover uses different tools to check for habitability. One tool is a test that is done that the ground gets blasted with neutrons and when the neutrons come in contact with any hydrogen atoms the neutrons slow down. (WHY IS WATER IMPORTANT). The rover also has a seven-foot arm that collects different samples from mars and then is “cooked” inside of the rover. The gasses that are given off by the samples get …show more content…
Satellites provide information about clouds, oceans, land masses and ice, which can help in the predicting of the weather and climate. They can monitor volcanoes and wildfires and the smoke from them, this helps emergency workers respond to these events. Satellites also measure the gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide, ozone levels, as well as the amount of energy that Earth absorbs and emits. Satellites that face toward space have other jobs. Some satellites monitor for dangerous ray coming from the sun. Some satellites “explore asteroids and comets, the history of stars, and the origin of planets” (NASA I,f). There are also some that orbit planets, which “look for evidence of water on Mars or capture close-up pictures of Saturn’s rings” (NASA
