Mini Swimming Robot: In the future, you may travel to the alien ocean to find life

Science Fiction Network June 30 (Qin Yingying) With the advancement of human civilization, especially the arrival of the spacecraft, the spacecraft found that many ice hockey celestial bodies in the solar system are covered with vast ocean. Detectors and other means have initially determined some celestial bodies that may exist outside the ocean. Scientists have inferred that the marine environment of these celestial bodies provides a habitat for life for life, so they may find extraordinary life in these oceans.

Recently, NASA Jet Promotion Laboratory (JPL) is developing an interesting concept, allowing a group of micro -robots with mobile phones to be satellites in Jupiter's satellite EUROPA or Saturn's satellite ENCELADUS. evidence of.

Scientists of NASA believe that the alien life on Muwei II will be the most obvious. In Muwei Er's ice shell, there are nutrients that can be eaten by marine life, and microorganisms and even greater creatures may like to eat. Scientists put forward a miniature sensor swimming robot for the marine exploration mission under Muwei Er Ice Shell. Scientists need to find a way to pass through the 10 kilometers of ice covering the ocean.

Early thoughts were wedge -shaped robots, each with a length of about 12 cm and a volume of about 60 to 75 cubic centimeters. About four robots can be installed on a 10 cm long part of a low -temperature robot with a diameter of 25 cm, and they only account for about 15%of the scientific effective load volume. Leave room for other scientific instruments and collect measurement data through the ice.

The research team will further study the sensor so that each robot will have its own promotion system, airborne computer and ultrasonic communication system and simple temperature, salinity, acidity and pressure sensor.
