Space Robots 

Whether orbiting other planets or moons, landing on them or just flying, small but robust unmanned spacecraft – essentially robots – have provided inspiring and futuristic information to Earth-bound scientists.Mission – both human and non-human.

 A variety of robots have been created for space exploration.Rotating vehicles that use wheels or caterpillar tracks to drive over the surface, humanoid robots that can take the place of spacecraft astronauts – using weapons and hands, will be able to repair and replace tests.Some robots are so lively to look at that you can’t tell they’re not human – there are lots of awesome movies about it!

Artificial intelligence is an exciting field in robotics and scientists are building robots with the ability to learn and come up with their own ideas.

1970: Venera 7

Venera 7, a Soviet spacecraft, landed on Venus, the first unmanned search to touch another planet and transmit data to Earth.

1972: Pioneers 10 and 11

Pioneer 10 and 11 American missions set sail for Jupiter and Saturn, respectively, the first object to cross the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Both spacecraft eventually leave the solar system, and although they no longer send signals to Earth, they continue to travel deeper into space.

Bolted to the Pioneer spacecraft, the plaques here are sporting a pattern – including two earthlings – in space. Designed by Carl Sagan and others, the plaques were intended to greet potentially intelligent, extra terrestrial life from humans.

The twin American spacecraft 1 and 2 made their way first to Jupiter and Saturn. Voyager 2 then visited Uranus and Neptune, the only spacecraft to do so. The two stars are now traveling literally billions of miles from the Sun, measuring the particles and magnetic properties of interstellar space.

A two-way, gold-plated record traveled in each Voyager craft, carrying greetings uttered in 55 languages, from earth sounds such as surf, wind, thunder and birds, to earthlings to possible extraterrestrial life.

Mars Exploration Rover

A difficult planet to visit Mars: Since the 1970s, only a few spacecraft have successfully reached it. In 2004, however, two identical NASA rovers landed on Mars. Equipped with cameras, computers and special scientific devices, rover spirits and opportunities revolutionized our understanding of Mars, specifically ensuring that the planet was once home to abundant liquid water. Rovers were expected to be active for only a year or more but continued to transmit spirit data until 2010. Meanwhile, chances are still strong that in 2011, it discovered a rock that contains zinc and bromine. On Earth, such elements suggest that heated water once flowed through rocks. So this discovery could further prove that Mars had a watery past.
