Hi, today, I will tell you about an other robot. It is named «Curiosity».
To explore Mars, new systems are studied, like the utilisation of the nuclear energy. In Europe, searchers work on a concept: a robot doing his combustible with the martial atmosphere and progressing by jumps...

The NASA planned «Curiosity» in 2011, an engine of more than 700 kilograms equipped of a little atomic battery, that will assure a important electric strength and independent to sun light. Next robots of Mars will can jump and go on of 26 kilometre in 12 years and 530 kilometre in six years. They will be faster and make to work many years. The secret: a system of propulsion that combine a nuclear source and the utilisation of natural resources of the planet. The idea is to create a RTG (radioisotope thermoelectric generator), that product electricity with the heat generated by a radioactive material. When the martial air will go in the reservoir, it will become liquid. When it will have to move, the liquid CO
2 will can transform the robot in a rocket and will jump on a distance of one kilometre. So, I give you a date in the future for more information.
Good bye!
