NASA equipped lasers for Mars to explore Mars

The US Aeronautics Agency (NASA) has announced it will equip Mars exploration robots with a device capable of analyzing soil samples deep under the laser beam.

This chemical observation and analysis department, ChemCam , will be installed on a robot to spy on Curiosity .

When this robot moves freely on the surface of Mars, they will use laser energy large enough to break rock masses into small pieces. Then, relying on ionized gas under the laser splitting activity, ChemCam can accurately identify which chemical components exist on the Martian surface through spectroscopy.

This application is extremely meaningful for NASA's cosmic conquest because they help scientists survey the surface of Mars and thereby delineate key areas to study. On the other hand, the information collected by ChemCam adds to the analysis of other devices in the robot.

Currently, the NASA lab is urgently researching and completing this device to prepare for the launch of the Curiosity reconnaissance robot at the end of 2011.

As expected, this reconnaissance robot will be put on Mars in August 2012.
