Namuhla ama-ejensi amaningi esikhala aphila nohlobo lomjaho ukuze abone ukuthi ngubani owokuqala ukuthatha umuntu aye eMars. Ngaphambi kokuba lokhu kwenzeke, kunobuchwepheshe obuningi okufanele buhlolwe kanye nezifundo okumele zibhalwe ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi umgomo walolu hlobo ungasebenza ngempela. Ngaphakathi kwephrojekthi Mashi 2020 lapho i-NASA ifuna ukufaka khona umsebenzi omusha wokuhlola sithola ukuthi kungenzeka ukufaka uhlobo lwe indiza enophephela emhlane ezizimele.
Kodwa-ke, ukudala i-drone yalezi zimfanelo kubonisa uchungechunge lwezinselelo onjiniyela nososayensi ngokufanayo okufanele babhekane nazo ngoba, phakathi kokunye, umkhathi womhlaba uhluke ngokuphelelengokwesimo sokuminyana, kuya koMhlaba, ngakho-ke indiza, ngokwesibonelo, enophiko olungaguquki ingadinga amaphiko amakhulu ukunxephezela indiza, ngakho-ke noma ikuphi ukubuyela emuva kungasho ukwehluleka okukhulu kwephrojekthi ngenxa, phakathi kokunye izinto, ngoba ukulungiswa kwayo kungenakwenzeka ngokoqobo.
Ngalokhu konke engqondweni, i-NASA ibeke onjiniyela be- IJet Propulsion Laboratoy kuphrojekthi efuna ukwakha i-drone emise okwendiza enophephela emhlane. Phakathi kwezici ezithakazelisa kakhulu ukugqamisa, isibonelo, isisindo esizoba seduze ikhilogremu, ophephela abanamaphiko cishe anguyodwa ubude bemitha, uhlelo okufanele amabhethri akho akhokhiswe ngalo amandla elanga (kwanele ukunikeza ukuzimela kwendiza cishe imizuzu emithathu) ...
Inhloso yangempela yendiza yalolu hlobo ukwazi ukuyifeza umsebenzi wokuhlola insimu ukuze imizila yokuhamba ehamba phambili ibonakale ukuze imoto yasemhlabeni ihambe ngaphandle kobunzima obukhulu. Ngaphandle kokungabaza, siphila iminyaka yokutholwa kwezobuchwepheshe okuzokhunjulwa esikhathini esizayo esingekude kakhulu.
