Leicester Scientists Involved In Development Of New Breed Of Space VehicleLeicester, UK (SPX) Nov 19, 2010 Scientists and engineers at the internationally acclaimed Space Research Centre at the University of Leicester are developing a conceptual motor design for a Mars 'hopping' vehicle which should lead to a greater understanding of the 'Red Planet'. Robots exploring Mars can carry scientific instruments that measure the physical and chemical characteristics of the Martian surface and subsurface, analyse the environment and look for evidence of past or present life. Wheeled rovers have made extraord ... read more |
