Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) is a suite of instruments developed for use on the Mars Science Laboratory. By looking for evidence of water, carbon, and other important building blocks of life in the Mars soil and atmosphere, this suite will help answer one of humankind's biggest questions about the planet: did it ever support life? SAM was designed and built in an international collaboration between Goddard Space Flight Center, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the University of Paris, and Honeybee Robotics. This video series highlights the mission, its objectives, and some of Goddard's contributors to the project.

This video profiles Jess Lewis, designer of SAM's Solid Sample Inlet Tube (SSIT). The SSIT is essentially a high-tech funnel that helps direct the Mars soil into the SAM suite for analysis.

My name is Jesse Lewis...Identuty Theft. He Gone! He flew into da air! Oh... I'm scared. Hello? Jim? Help me! Where am I? Oh no! Old Gregg, I'm not ready. Not like this! Not like this!

[JLAJC1]

you will warp such a thin material as that if you weld a fine line like you suggest. If tacking is all that's required, then why spend more funds welding the entire seam?

[Sampson712]

Walder?

[123shitcreek]

come on! I work as a walder and that is really bad work. It´s a very cheap method to just blob it like that. you could simply weld a fine line along the cylinder that whould add more stability.
