Who invented the space rover?

Answer 1

The concept of "Space" is continually being redefined. We find something new about it all the time. This is a great area for discovery.

If space is really a fabric, then we should be able to get some kind of hooks into it and use it for propulsion or, if we can go deep enough, we might find a pure energy source ready to tap for storage or distribution.

Maybe we find another aspect of it that when we touch it in a certain way, we might be able to see all of time and space at the same moment, being able to point to a location and reach it instantly. Who knows?

Yuri Gagarin (Great Adventurer) was the first human to reach the space outside our atmosphere. Space exists everywhere. 85% of the area that matter resides in is actually empty space, so everything everywhere has actually been in space from the moment of creation.

We have to kind of describe "Empty Space", because there doesn't seem to be any "Empty Space" anywhere. There is always different forms of matter distributed sparcly throughout space, as well as all forms of high energy particles flying in all directions from all sorts of sources in the universe. There is no such thing as a pure vacuum, because of these factors.

Answer 2

Lunokhod 1 was the first of two unmanned lunar rovers landed on the Moon by the Soviet Union as part of its Lunokhod program. The spacecraft which carried Lunokhod 1 was named Luna 17. Lunokhod was the first roving remote-controlled robot to land on another celestial body. The spacecraft soft-landed on the Moon in the Sea of Rains on November 17 at 03:47 UTC. The lander had dual ramps from which the payload, Lunokhod 1, could descend to the lunar surface. At 06:28 UT the rover moved onto the Moon's surface.

Lunokhod 1 was a lunar vehicle formed of a tub-like compartment with a large convex lid on eight independently powered wheels. Its length was 2.3 meters (7ft7in). Lunokhod was equipped with a cone-shaped antenna, a highly directional helical antenna, four television cameras, and special extendable devices to test the lunar soil for soil density and mechanical property tests. An X-ray spectrometer, an X-ray telescope, cosmic ray detectors, and a laser device were also included. The vehicle was powered by batteries which were recharged during the lunar day by a solar cell array mounted on the underside of the lid. To be able to work in vacuum a special fluoride based lubricant was used for the mechanical parts and the electric motors (one in each wheel hub) were enclosed in pressurized containers.

Answer 3

The space rover was invented by a team of engineers and scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in the United States. The development of space rovers began in the 1990s with the Sojourner rover as part of the Mars Pathfinder mission.

Answer 4

The Russians launched the first artificial satellite, or space probe, on October 4, 1957.

Answer 5

A space probe refers to an unmanned spacecraft that leaves the Earth's orbit in order to explore outer space. Sputnik 1 was the first probe to be launched on October 4, 1957 by the USSR.

Answer 6

The first space probe was called Sputnik 1, launched by Soviet Union in 1957.

Answer 7

The Voyager probes were designed and built by the JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory).

Answer 8

JPL made them. I'm also proud to say that the person who designed the thing called the Canopus star tracker on both Voyagers probes was my grandpa. Sadly he died...
