- Ever wanted to build your own Mars rover? I talked to Airbus engineers working on the ESA ExoMars rover about how you can!
Well.... let's face it. Unless you have €1.3bn lying around such a project is a bit beyond your reach. But you can still learn about how the next generation of Mars rover is going to do science on the Martian surface!
You can learn more about the ExoMars mission here! www.airbus.com/space/space-ex...
At the moment the rover is going to one of two landing sites: exploration.esa.int/mars/58904...

Note: while the Wikipedia entry says that there have been 7 rovers, one of these missions is the (failed) Beagle 2 mission which contained a mole, but this didn't have wheels, so technically there have only been 6 attempts to land a rover!
A Mole?! Like, the animal? Or is it 6*10^28? I don't understand.

"want to put something impressive on your university application"
Damn... Requirements are getting more and absurd every second
Good to hear Airbus is inviting TH-camrs to promote their work!
I think something went wrong, I've done 12,195 steps but I don't have a Rover and am in the middle of the ocean.
Herosmurf I had the same issue, but now I’m in Belgium et je parle français; please send help!
Have you tried to turn it off and on again?
Kat was one of our students at Corsham School - great to see her still working on this project!
I am stuck on step 4397, Rover has taken over planet earth and sent me to Mars. Please help.
Voice Impressions are on point though.
your voice impressions are on point 👌
this is amazing.
I'm currently doing my Masters at cranfield University in Space engineering and i'll be building my own "Mini" Mars rover :D i'll tell you how it goes later next year.
EDITE: But you can always build your own a small version of Mar rover, you won't be able to send it to Mars but you can participate in Many competitions in UK/Europe/US
I think Rover was a bad choice. Their vehicles are notoriously unreliable. A Mars BMW or Toyota might have been a better idea?
haha.. you are funny guy aren't you@@thomasp4902
To build this Rockwell Retro Encabulator, you'll need some pre-famulated Amulite, two Sperbing bearings, and a Panametric fan. Make sure the bearings are in line with the fan.
A processor good enough for Fallout 3? I am sure Fallout 4 will also do just fine.
Petition to hire Alex for tweaking rover performance
Simon your content is just great!
Great video! Incredible quality and content
Loved the video. Keep it up!
This is pretty amazing
This is a fun video and I enjoyed spending the time to watch it. I don't know what words to say to tell you that I really liked the video, except for the words I have already used in this comment. I'm confusing myself. Good video.
Great video! V interesting
Love the single required allen key at 1:44
Hey Simon, when are you going to get more of those To Do Calculate shirts? I would really like to purchase one🙄
Me and the lads have had a whip round and we have nearly got enough for our own crack at it.
Ayyy roadman please do a videos wit ma boi papa flammy 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Something is in the works!
Ok so in step 7897 you mention that I have to use my allen key to hook up the main axis to the frame, the problem is I think I have more modern model with the axis alredy done , so do I move to step 7898 or can I skip to step 7928?
568 Raspberry Pi Zero's xD
Can't believe that I, a Cambridge student, subscribed to a channel that is run by an Oxford graduate.
After all, grad students on the other side are not all that stupid tho
Are you ever going to build a combat robot like you mentioned? Now that you know how to build a Mars Rover, a combat robot should be no issue :)
Creative and informative!👍🏻👍🏻
Rip Opportunity 2k19 😭
How is carbon fiber allowed if they can't use organic materials? Afaik, carbon fiber composite materials are made of plastics/resins combined with woven carbon fiber, right? unless they are using literally just carbon fiber, which I've never heard of but I'd be curious what uses you could make of it.
Are step 4389 and step 5153 the same , since they ask to check and attach the inertial stabilizor to the rover
Ah they are similar but slightly different! Make sure you check the polarity of the radial ports are the correct orientation in _both_ cases
I think sending a rover to Mars may help my PhD application (Eng). The robot isn't too bad but I'm struggling to find a suitable rocket. Does anyone know where I can find a space launch vehicle? Applications are due by Jan so I don't have much time to prepare for launch. Any advice?
I NEED one of these. Can I get it at Ikea? I go to mars on a regular basis. The problem is, no public transportation and no cell phone service.
1:01 im in love
i love the lego wheels in the parts list
"Can't bring any organic materials like plastics, oils, etc, but we bring carbon fiber." Lol what
you should do a collab with Mark Rober's
It wouldn't be surprising if Elon Musk bought over this airbus dept. scavenged the autonomous driving system for Tesla and chucked the rest of the project to SpaceX.
Ooh, nice, you got change for a €1.5 billion note by any chance?
What does it say on the poster of a TH-cam logo behind you? - Ceci n'est pas une ...'?
réalité!
Joke of an intro was awesome 😂
"You clicked on this video,knowing this wasn't practical, you can't build a rover and send it to Mars" - Challenge Accepted#ThugLife
6:35 - am I right in saying that its not 1/3 the mass but 1/3 the weight?
No. You're probably thinking that a certain object on Mars would weigh 1/3 of the same object on Earth, which is true. However, the point here is that a prototype rover on Earth is constructed with 1/3 the mass so that the weight on Earth is 1/3 of the full rover, therefore simulating the correct-ish weight as the full rover would have on Mars.
So the rover on Earth has 1/3 the mass. Weight = mass*g - to approximate the correct weight on Mars (where g is 1/3 that of g_Earth) the mass is only 1/3 that of the final rover.
so this prototype rover is only 1/3 the mass of the one going to Mars, in order to simulate the gravitational conditions of Mars? I think.
just add a feature so it spins the panels to get the dirt off.
Why dont they use the static charge from the dust storms and a few decent sized capacitors to charge their batteries while the rover is cut off from solar power?
Why don't we just use thunderstorms to generate electricity? Work on that.
Why don't we just use thunderstorms to generate electricity? Work on that.
@@quantumbits not talking about the static charge built up between dust particles, but rather the charge dispersed on the skin of the rover as dust particles hit and move over it. If you've ever sand blasted a conductive material, you will understand what I mean and the magnitudes I am describing.
i noticed a box that said'promotional content' at the start. Are you receiving much money from airbus after making this video?
3:28 Sooo, basically the same amount of time waiting for your internet to load a youtube video depending your: Service provider, location and phone. Yep we still suck at telecommunications advancement.
Instructions unclear. Sent myself to space
I had no idea radiation could affect electric systems. Cool.
bet
The worlds most expensive air fix model
4:58 this is too funny
I'm on the 12,194 step but it broke
loved the seedy advertising voiceover.... lol great video otherwise! :D
I stuck at step 12190
i'm renaming my garden to the Mars Yard
Can you make a video explaining how light wave moves in 3 dimensions.its quite hard to imagine
do you have Stephen Hawking's new book "brief answers to big questions?
I want to build a rover that will rescue Spirit and Opportunity.
I have my 1.3 bil doller rover done now I just have to put in the tru- "drops it" Well I love being rich, ill get another one
Where'd you get your hairstyle?
BRIAN
Damn European projects are way more expensive.
The space processer so needs speeding up it's holding mankind back
And not have a way to clean your solar panels is crazy if you see what happened to all the other ones!!!!
Ugh I got clickbaited.
1.3 billion euros and can only drive 80 meters per day? what the f
hapax legomenon
1.3 billion euros, that sounds like a billionaire class toy.
I've got to say, it was fun to drive
Wait what, 10 year old processor, 71 MHz??? Fallout 3?! Surely 71MHz is not 10 years ago, and I doubt you could run fallout 3 on it. Someone tell me I’m wrong. (Let’s just ignore the fact that fallout 3 run on your gpu and not cpu, for the sake of the argument)
Oh god. Please don't do that voice again Simon jajaja
Very good video Simon! I had actually to do calculate the distance from mars to earth, I thought that 20min was too much (sun is closer), then I realize that yeah planets orbits and stuff jajaj Very good impersonation actually, but the voice distracted me a lot jajaja
what does jajaja mean, was it a rough attempt of laughing?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wow, such click bait. Unsubbed unliked unwikicasted unnotificationed
but not unseen, so he wins
Now how is he going to get that coveted golden TH-cam plaque to display in every video if you unsub, unlike and so forth and so on? :(
First?
indeed
My god 😦
First.
