Celebrate the round-robin robot

NASA scientists celebrated the anniversary of the one-year-old Moot robot on Red Planet (a year on Mars about 687 days on Earth).

Mo Mo Robot landed on the Red planet in August 2012, until this time, To Mo completed the first mission in the quest to find signs of life on the Red planet.

John Grotzinger, a scientist at the California Institute of Technology, also of the Mo Mo project, said: 'It is too early to come to the final conclusion, we hope that the results at Sharp's foot area will connect with those. What can be found in the Bay of Gold Bay area (Yelloknife Bay). Particularly in the Windjana area, we see quite complex historical signs of the interaction between water and stone. "

Recently, To Mo robot robot has conducted a drill on a sandstone block called Windjana, collecting samples of stone powder, serving the study of geochemical process and landscape formation in the bottom layer of the Gale Crater area on Mars.

Scientists are currently preparing the necessary steps for the Mooc robot to advance to the next point, about 3.9km from the current location towards Sharp Mountain. NASA is using the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter to find a safe route for Mo Mo, to avoid sand dunes around Sharp Mountain.

Parts of the robot are designed with an average life expectancy of 2-3 times the expected life to complete the task of Curiosity. Currently Mo Mo robot still works well, the software is upgraded regularly. However, its wheels have a bad sign because of the rugged rocky terrain on the surface of the Red planet.
