Current affairs 2019 - NASA collects water presence samples on Mars

The U.S. space agency NASA presented on April 13, 2019, that its Curiosity rover conducted its first sample test in an area called the 'Clay Bearing Unit' on the Maute Sharp for the first time in Mars. Curiocity collected samples from 'Mudstone' (stone made of mud) in The Mont Sharp. It was discovered that about 350 million years ago, there were lakes, which later dried up and became 'mudstones' on their sediments. The specimens can help with important information about the presence of water on Mars.

NASA designed a unique aircraft

Scientists at the US space agency NASA have built a unique airplane on April 7, 2019, which has been officially confirmed. Its wings can change their shape automatically. NASA has worked with MIT researchers to build this new type of airplane wings. The density of the wings of this aircraft is 5.6 kg/kg. Cubic meter. These wings can change their shape to control the speed of the aircraft.

These wings of the aircraft are made up of flexible elements, which has made it possible. Less weighted than conventional design wings are lightweight and also better at saving energy. These wings have different stages of the aircraft; For example, during takeoff, landing, cruiseand manoeuvres and management, you can change the size on a different flight basis. These are equal to the size of the wing of a real single-seater plane.

'Astrobi' robot designed by NASA

For new inventions in space, some robots will now be sent along with astronauts. This was confirmed on an experimental basis conducted by NASA on April 7, 2019. These robots

Bees will be shaped, named 'Astroby Robots'. The robot is powered by an Astrobi battery and will automatically recharge at the power station as soon as the battery is low. These robots can also be operated in a fully autonomous mode or can be controlled by astronauts and researchers through remote control from the earth. This robot will help researchers to test in space. It will also be able to study the interaction of human and robotic synovial in space and test new technology.

An understanding of how robots can work better with humans will be crucial for the discovery of the moon and other places.

Israeli spacecraft destroyed before landing on moon

The Israeli Beresheet spacecraft was launched in February 2019 in collaboration with the destroyed Israeli private company (SPACIL) just minutes before landing on the moon on April 12, 2019. Built at a cost of $10 crore (about Rs.690 crore), the vehicle was launched on the moon via the Falcon 9 rocket.

The vehicle was sent and was jointly designed by the Israeli Aerospace Industries. If the mission had been successful, the Israeli-US would have become the fourth country to land its vehicle on Chantma after China and Russia. It was the world's first mission sent to the moon by the fund-take of a private company.
