On this week in science from Fueled By Death Cast, I check in with the progress on the Mars 2020 rover from NASA. The final clean lab tests are being performed, and some of the last pieces of technology are being added to the rover, including the very interesting Mars Helicopter. Developed by NASA, the helicopter flies differently than a helicopter in on Earth, having to compensate for the gravity and atmosphere of the red planet.
One of the final things left to do with the Mars 2020 rover is to give it a name! So kids all across the country from grades K-12 have the chance to submit their suggestion and a short essay explaining their name choice to NASA by Nov.1. The names will be voted on and a winner announced on Feb 18th, 2020, exactly one year before the rover touches down on the surface of Mars.
