  • Nasa your need a bigger wire for when the real thing happens

  • PIMP rims NASA cheers!

  • after i watched this video The wheels that will touch down on Mars in 2012 are several rotations closer to spinning on the rocky trails of Mars, my insight is very open because the video is very good to give information

  • I am very happy to see the vidoe The wheels that will touch down on Mars in 2012 are several rotations closer to spinning on the rocky trails of Mars. from you, hopefully the others also are happy for You

  • I am very happy to see the vidoe Curiosity Mars Rover Spins Its Wheels after you give this

  • I Love The Video The wheels that will touch down on Mars in 2012 are several rotations closer to spinning on the rocky trails of Mars It Can Increase My Knowledge

  • I Really Like The Video he wheels that will touch down on Mars in 2012 are several rotations closer to spinning on the rocky trails of Mars From Your

  • Your Video The wheels that will touch down on Mars in 2012 are several rotations closer to spinning on the rocky trails of Mars Is Very Useful Sharing

  • yeah , spinning wheels , awsome.lol

  • this rover is huge and what up with the speed? can we a least put some pony power if horse power is too much .. i love all this stuff is really cool and educational but speed is what makes all the differences in almost everything . keep up the good work ..

  • good luck finding information we will never hear about but have to pay for

  • Ok, I see a great urge to invite ferrari's engineers to nasa.

  • not exacly a Ferrari is it?

    

  • 2.5b dollars? They couldve just dumped a fucking Toyota Hilux up there for $1,200.

  • @johnnyjayramone So ignorant.

  • good thinking...NO hubcaps. You never know about the neighborhood.

  • They see me rollin' they hatin'

  • wouldn't a solar powered Power Wheels Barbie car be a lot cheaper?

  • as incompetent as always. pathetic speed.

    hopefully they brought a color camera this time and maybe even some bandwidth.

    but then again the landing sequence is built with enough complexity to make failure likely.

  • @DanFrederiksen Because you have designed and built something to land on another planet? Get a life.

  • Engineers look like Surgeons!

  • They see me rollin, they hatin

  • Isn't it too risky to expose the wires on Mars ? There are storms there.

  • @toocoolforu Interesting, looks like they should be using ERW patent claims to replace their weak wheels. These wheels will not offer the ERW deweighting effect, less soil penetration, advantage for uphill levering. Less getting stuck! Highly curved segmented nano carbon hoops "the Bow", Kevlar spans the "Strings". New ERW wheels will easily out perform dinosaur spoke wheels. Check out ERW on youtube!

  • @EnergyReturnWheel No need for such a wheel, it's operating at 3mph.

  • @toocoolforu Pat #5 Bicycle tech. ERW will extend your range even at 3 mph. Climbs hills covered with soft materials. Efficiency rolling on hard surfaces yet allows for paddles off the curved hoop for traction while sinking in on soft surfaces. If you do not want to spend weeks stuck in a bad spot, even in a position that could limit solar gain why not consider a "lighter wt." superior wheel? "Free" test ERW? Just say the word... YES. After all your not launching tomorrow.

  • 1:07, what was that laugh, on the right? What was on his mind? I wonder how they look like beneath their mask, they look like doctors. btw, I clapped also.

  • What do I need to do to get their job, or at least work for NASA? I'm a mechatronical engineer with soon a bachelordegree.

  • @CognitiveNetwork If you suck a Senators cock it would probably help.

  • 0:40 proud as hell.

  • The wheels are looking no good , but you did test them a lot I think.

    The kind of Rims and the open wheel looking like.. will not go far in

    rocky sand and get suck and messed up.

    I´ m more impressed by the wheels really work for sand-rocks-storm missions, instead of all the other technical and physical solutions that was made for this mission.

    Great work and go on , you are all the only ones can make mankind survive in comic nature.

  • wow I always (for some reason) thought these rovers were smaller. There freaking huge..the crane for this one used for decent must be the size of a truck lol.

  • @HwarangXia

    curiosity is 10x larger than any rover previously sent to mars

  • why are all dressed like that ? they might cotaminade the rover or what ?

  • @diminatadeazi Yup..you got it right.

  • @diminatadeazi Exactly, they must not send life on Mars, it's a scientific playground. Otherwise if we find life there we'll always wonder if we sent it there. They not only dress like this next to the rover. The rover has to be decontaminated just before they seal it, so nothing can live.

  • Oh, so you build a car!

  • Spending billions at NASA where everything is a prototype! They ought to send this one to tow out the other one first!

  • Spending billions at NASA where everything is a prototype!

  • "My wheels got spin, but they're not integer since they're ferminotic"

  • @sudoLinux666 - geek! ;-) ;-)

  • @sudoLinux666 We had wrongly assumed that rover would have solar assist to increase the 12.4 mile two yr. travel goal. ERW highly curved composite bow flexing hoop , Kevlar spans "bow strings" attaching directly to motors would provide "tunable", more mass impact protection on landing. Additional wt. of solar pannels would be allowed because of the "sprung from the top" of hoop "deweighting effect". With so much at stake here a little reengineering could go a "long way", pun intended. DELAY!

  • @EnergyReturnWheel There would be no need for solar assist. This is powered by radioactive material.

  • @sudoLinux666 Fermionic

  • @nilbud Yeah, I had noticed that after reading. Sorry.

    Cheers,

    Nick 

  • 1.2 billions dollars later. Less power than an RC car. YAY NASA. but serious this thing is amazing

  • way to slow

    

  • @privatejoker1000 - it has to be.

  • @privatejoker1000 It is like a power drill, it doesn't accelerate but it can turn no matter what.

  • If these are the intended wheels for the landing it seems to me that perhaps they could use more flutes say of a couple of inches, to get a good grip on the dry friable sand. They already have Spirit stuck permanantly in a sand drift on Mars - certainly do not want a repeat performance do we ?

  • @globaleye8

    yea, but they got AAA this time. So.. all's good.

  • comically slow. only nasa could be that professionally incompetent

  • Most expensive set of rims EVER!

  • very large rover

  • I hope they are smart enough this time to include a 'free rotation' this time. So when one wheel fails it will not lock.

  • @Mueiwark - That's a good question -- I don't know the answer to that! I know each wheel is individually motorized; they all operate very similarly to the Spirit and Opportunity rovers. One thing to remember, though, is that Spirit, Opportunity (and Sojourner, for that matter) far exceeded their lifetime specs -- and a a free-rotation wheel wasn't in the design requirements. Fortunately, with the RTG, there will be enough power to compensate for at least one or two locked wheels.

  • dose it realy need to be that slow

  • @klownz1995 - unfortunately, yes. =)

  • @djxatlanta why? 

  • @voron27 - remember that it takes 20 minutes on average for a signal to get back from Mars -- if the rover is speeding along and passes by a really interesting crater or boulder that scientists want to study, it would take 20 minutes for the pictures to get back to Earth, a bit of time for the scientists to study those pictures, and another 20 minutes for the scientists for the command "STOP!" to get back to the rover... by then the rover would be long past.

  • @djxatlanta sounds reasonable to me. what will be the actual speed on mars?

  • I've seen much more weird stuff of the official technology spectrum as a whole (robotics, exoskeletons etc), but watching all these scientists working on something they are just going to send to another planet is just pure awe.

  • I need such a rover, than i can drive to the Nightclub. Are you can believe how fast such a Rover is. :D :D xD

  • they should send a helicopter like rover not car like rovers....... and that thing looks slow lol

  • @flopez425 - all the Mars rovers are slow -- they need to be because they're remote-controlling these things with a 20-minute light distance from Mars to Earth. They can't jump the gun and have it barreling off into the Martian deserts at 75 mph because if it tumbled into a crater, they wouldn't know about it for 20 minutes. It's a pretty expensive piece of machinery, so they will be careful and go slow.

  • @djxatlanta ooooooh ok to bad it will never get to mars u know y? world will end 2010!!!!!!!!

  • @flopez425 - um, yeah... 

  • @djxatlanta They dont even controll it ? its a robotic programme ..

    Thats why its slow because it cannot register the surroundings as fast as a humon organism's

  • @qUiiCkScOpMoNtAgEr - Yes, it's controlled remotely from the ground by a program. As with the current Mars rovers, Curiosity will send stereo pictures of its surroundings back to Earth so navigators can build a 3D model of the terrain. Based on the images, engineers will create a daily driving program to send back up to the rover. Later, as the mission progresses, they will allow the rover to drive more autonomously.

  • @djxatlanta

    What about the lag?

  • THERE SPINNERS MAN, SPINNERS!!!

  • I just hope this amazing machine makes it safety to Mars. It would be a HUGE disappointment if  it crashes on it's surface or gets lost in space.

  • @dinmagic - understandable... since 1988, the following Mars missions have been lost and/or destroyed: Phobos 1 (1988), Phobos 2 (1989), Mars Observer (1993), Mars '96 (1996), Mars Climate Orbiter (1999), Mars Polar Lander (1999) and Beagle 2 (2003).

  • @djxatlanta What I'm hoping is that they improve the motrocity of the rover, cause at that speed... it's going to take them months to get anywhere.

  • @Raindarsus - not going to happen. There's no reason to go any faster when operating a multi-million dollar machine 20 light-minutes from Earth.

  • @djxatlanta the reason being would be to be able to better maneuver the rover and bring it faster to safety if a storms happens to hit it. Which could mean the end of the multi-million dollars rover.

  • @Raindarsus - Both Spirit and Opportunity (smaller rovers) and the Viking landers weathered and survived many direct hits from Martian dust storms. In the case of the rovers, the worst possible effect was dust deposition on the rovers' solar arrays, which were the rovers' only source of power. The much larger (and nuclear-powered) Curiosity rover will not be affected by dust storms, so there's no need to be concerned. And as far as the overall speed, this is a marathon, not a sprint. ;-)
