Mars 2020 Rover
NASA’s Mars 2020 is a rover mission set to gather information from Mars, such that they can review whether the planet is habitable. The rover will investigate the geological history and processes, determining the potential for preserving biosignatures within the planet’s geological material, while caching sample containers on its course for a sample return mission (Bernard & Farley, 2016). The rover’s design applies a similar concept as that of the Curiosity rover.
The rover contains three major components; the entry, descent, and landing system (EDLS) which form the cruise stage for travel between the two planets. The EDLS comprises of different components, including a descent vehicle, a parachute, an aeroshell, a sky crane, and the rover. The rover has an upgraded guidance and control technique called the Terrain Relative Navigation (TRN), used to perfect steering and navigation during the touchdown stage. Landing accuracy is estimated to average within 130ft (40 meters) while avoiding obstacles. Previous systems such as the Xombie rocket were used to assess the Lander Vision System (LVS), which was part of an experimental process dubbed the Autonomous Descent and Ascent Powered-flight Testbed (ADAPT) (Voosen, 2018). These tests aimed to improve the accuracy of landing while avoiding obstacle risks. The rover has a Multi-Mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (MMRTG), that will be its source of power. It was designed to be durable, withstanding harsh environmental conditions such as dust storms and winter storms. The MMRTG uses plutonium dioxide as its energy source, converting heat into electricity (Voosen, 2018). The rover also contains two rechargeable lithium-ion batteries that meet the needs of the rover in situations where the need surpasses the output levels of the generator. The rover has long-lasting aluminum wheels, sheltered with cleats for grip, with curved titanium bars for sustenance.
Similar Systems & Missions
Curiosity Rover
With its car-sized shape, the rover was made for the exploration of the crater Gale on Mars. The mission was part of NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory Mission. The mission involved gathering information regarding the geology and climate on Mars, as part of an assessment of the environmental conditions within the crater, and whether the conditions favor microbial life. The rover contains only 23% of its original mass, as the rest was discarded during transport and in the landing stages (Lakdawalla, 2018). It has a generator fueled by a radioisotope pellet contained within a graphite shell. The generator is a radioisotope thermoelectric generator that produces electricity by converting decaying radioactive isotopes like plutonium-238 into electric voltage.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

mission (MSL).
Curiosity was launched from Cape
Canaveral on November 26, 2011, at
10:02 EST aboard the MSL spacecraft
and landed on Aeolis Palus in Gale
Crater on Mars on August 6, 2012, 05:17
UTC.The Bradbury Landing site was less
than 2.4 km (1.5 mi) from the center of
the rover's touchdown target after a
563,000,000 km (350,000,000 mi)
journey.
4. The rovers goals:
As established by the Mars Exploration Program, the
main scientific goals of the MSL mission are to help
determine whether Mars could ever have supported life, as
well as determining the role of water, and to study the
climate and geology of Mars. The mission will also help
prepare for human exploration. To contribute to these
goals, MSL has eight main scientific objectives.
5. Biological
1. Determine the nature and inventory of organic carbon
compounds
2. Investigate the chemical building blocks of life (carbon,
hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfur)
3. Identify features that may represent the effects of
biological processes (biosignatures and biomolecules)
6. Geological and geochemical
4. Investigate the chemical, isotopic, and mineralogical composition
of the Martian surface and near-surface geological materials
5. Interpret the processes that have formed and modified rocks and
soils
Planetary process
6. Assess long-timescale (i.e., 4-billion-year) Martian
atmospheric evolution processes
7. Determine present state, distribution, and cycling of
water and carbon dioxide
7. Surface radiation
8. Characterize the broad spectrum of surface radiation,
including galactic and cosmic radiation, solar proton
events and secondary neutrons. As part of its
exploration, it also measured the radiation exposure in
the interior of the spacecraft as it traveled to Mars, and
it is continuing radiation measurements as it explores the
surface of Mars.
8. Curiosity’s specifications
Curiosity comprised 23 percent of the mass of the 3,893 kg
(8,583 lb) Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) spacecraft, which had the sole
mission of delivering the rover safely across space from Earth to a soft
landing on the surface of Mars. The remaining mass of the MSL craft was
discarded in the process of carrying out this task.
Dimensions:
Curiosity has a mass of 899 kg (1,982 lb) including 80 kg (180 lb) of
scientific instruments. The rover is 2.9 m (9.5 ft) long by 2.7 m (8.9 ft)
wide by 2.2 m (7.2 ft) in height.
9. Power source: Curiosity is powered by
a radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG), like
the successful Viking 1 andViking 2 Mars landers in
1976.
Radioisotope power systems (RPSs) are
generators that produce electricity from the decay
of radioactive isotopes, such as plutonium-238, which
is a non-fissile isotope of plutonium. Heat given off by
the decay of this isotope is converted into electric
voltage by thermocouples, providing constant power
during all seasons and through the day and night.
Curiosity's power generator is the latest RTG
generation built by Boeing and Idaho National
Laboratory, called the Multi-Mission Radioisotope
Thermoelectric Generator or MMRTG.Based on
legacy RTG technology, it represents a more flexible
and compact development step, and is designed to
produce 125 watts of electrical power from about
2,000 watts of thermal power at the start of the
mission.

graphite shell that goes
into the generator.
10. Computers: The two identical on-board rover computers, called Rover
Computer Element (RCE) contain radiation hardened memory to tolerate the
extreme radiation from space and to safeguard against power-off cycles.
Each computer's memory includes 256 kB of EEPROM, 256 MB of DRAM, and
2 GB of flash memory. Compare these figures to the 3 MB of EEPROM, 128 MB
of DRAM, and 256 MB of flash memory used in the Mars Exploration Rovers.
11. Communications: Curiosity is
equipped with significant
telecommunication redundancy
by several means – an X
band transmitter and
receiver that can communicate
directly with Earth, and a
UHF Electra-Litesoftware-defined
radio for communicating with
Mars orbiters. Communication
with orbiters is expected to be
the main path for data return to
Earth, since the orbiters have
both more power and larger
antennas than the lander
allowing for faster transmission
speeds. The rover also has
two UHF radios, the signals of
which the 2001 Mars
Odyssey satellite is capable of
relaying back to Earth. An
average of 14 minutes, 6
seconds will be required for
signals to travel between Earth
and Mars.
12. Instruments
The general sample analysis
strategy begins with high-resolution
cameras to look for features of interest.
If a particular surface is of
interest, Curiosity can vaporize a small
portion of it with an infrared laser and
examine the resulting spectra signature
to query the rock's elemental
composition. If that signature is
intriguing, the rover will use its long arm
to swing over a microscope and an X-
ray spectrometer to take a closer look.
If the specimen warrants further
analysis, Curiosity can drill into the
boulder and deliver a powdered
sample to either the SAM or
the CheMin analytical laboratories
inside the rover
