Going
gung ho about these?
Driverless
vehicles? No big deal!
Science
blokes have done it already
Yea! In space ! on the moon and mars
Still
doing it on Opportunity and Curiosity
The
remote controlled rover beauties
The
engineering marvels of mankind
Starting
with Lunakhod 1 in 1970
The Russian
rover operating for 10 months
In full
harsh extreme hot temperature of 150
degrees
To sub
zero way way below freezing temperatures
Heated
by radio isotopes
Running
on non rechargeable batteries
Paving
the way for evolving the rover miracles
Evolving
they arrived in Mars
Now inactive
sojourner and spirit rovers
The now
active opportunity and curiosity
Using
solar panels to power
Evolving
more to Radio Thermal Isotopic Generator
Communicating
by X-band high gain, low gain antennae
Equipped
with in built laboratory, on arm
spectrometers
Analysing
chemical, composition
Beaming
X, gamma rays, sniffing infra red emissions
Sending
lakhs of photos back to Earth
Making
discoveries to note
By
Jove! Super hounds!sniffer doggish marvels!
They
are more than vehicles,real juggernauts
Paving
the way for colonizing Moon, Mars, Salute!
