NASA simulates meteorite on the seabed

Scientists from the US Space Agency (NASA) are preparing to land on a meteorite in a simulated seabed environment.

The Daily Mail reported that NASA scientists are about to make an amphibious amphibious landing in a hypothetical underwater environment, at the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's underwater laboratory, near Key Largo, Florida state. The move aims to prepare the mission to bring American astronauts to explore meteorites in the future.

With the mission to land in a simulated environment, scientists will perform three main tasks: anchoring to the surface of meteors, moving as well as finding ways to collect fast and effective physical samples. most effective.

' There are many asteroids we don't even know about. Therefore, in order to explore such meteorites, we must thoroughly examine the steps needed to find the best amphibious options, 'said Bill Todd, NASA's asteroid exploration project director, said.

Unlike the Moon or Mars, a meteorite has a very small size, so it has almost no gravity. Therefore, the anchoring option is necessary when it comes to bringing astronauts and devices to the surface of meteorites. NASA researchers will conduct testing and evaluation of methods of anchoring down meteorite surfaces in the simulated environment within 5 months before selection are the best options for testing in the simulated environment. More rigorous in October.
