this is the most advanced mars rover that nasa's ever built. it's about the same size and weight as a small car and it is jam—packed with instruments. this is its robotic arm, equipped with a drill and it will take samples of rock that could contain signs of life. there's also an instrument that will try to make oxygen from the carbon dioxide rich atmosphere — a vital technology for future astronauts on mars. and for the first time, nasa will test a mini mars helicopter that will try to fly in the extremely thin martian air. it's another pair of eyes from a totally different vantage point. just being able to get to places that we simply can't get to today. like sides of steep cliffs or very steep crevices, craters, places like that that a roverjust can't rove into. i mean, we're going to need to fly. another first for this mission is that the rock samples collected will be stored and eventually brought back to earth, and some will head to the uk. hopefully, in about ten or 15 years, we'll get those rocks back from mars. more missions will b

when it gets to mars, what will that do? it is basically a technology demonstrator, the idea is to prove that you can fly autonomous vehicles on mars, so it doesn't carry any scientific instruments. but what it does have is a camera. it will allow the mission scientists to have a look ahead of where the rover is travelling, to look for obstacles like boulders that might be over the top of a hill or something of that sort. and to make sure that the perseverance rover can find the best pathway to its target. and that is the other reason for the helicopter. it will be looking for the best kinds of rocks to investigate with all the instruments that the rover itself carries. my my favourite story of the day. tupperware containers full of rocks back to the uk potentially. you can find more of that store and a website and find me on twitter. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @ bbcrajiniv. stay watching us here on bbc news. hello there. the heat is continuing to build across much of the country. it's going to be a short—lived he

the race to mars is in full swing artie's. explains why this mission is paving the way for human exploration. this isn't the 1st time nasa sent over to the red planet remember this high definition image of mars this was taken by the previous mars rover curiosity almost a year ago but what sets this new rover name perseverance apart is that it's loaded with new scientific instruments and systems making it the largest and most sophisticated vehicle nasa has ever sent to mars. one of the new technology experiments that will set foot on the red. and it is called moxie a mechanical tree similar to how a regular tree functions scientists hope that moxie will be able to supply future mars explorers oxygen to breathe and also for another reason the main thing you need oxygen for is for the rocket that's going to take them back up from the surface to come back to earth for that rock because rockets rocket fuel needs oxygen to burn as well and. instead of taking everything explorers will need from earth they can just see these resources

y such a busy period for missions to mars? it is because the earth and mars are aligned to make the journey shorter. shorter journey doesn'tne help withf the most important parts of any mission to mars, the landing. for china's rover, that challenge is some way off and will not beginrbiting until february of next year, but for now, things are going well, and they have a plan for when they arrive. here is our science correspondent. confirmation of the rocket has put the probe on the right path to mars, and now, it is seven months to wait until they tryge aninto orb at the red planet. they are not going to go down at the service straightaway. they will use a strategy the americans used back in the 1970's. yomay recall the viking in the mid-1970's. it went into orbit around mars, and kind of looked at what the nditions were like, to pick their place, to pick their time, to g they were successful global viking one a viking 2. viking 2 got io the same place that the china rover will target, which is the utopian plain. we will see w

rover mission to mars what is different this time. firstly this is an amazing river thames the instrumentation it's got really new sets of instruments to really look at the landscape in crates and analyze the chemistry but the key difference and the key difference to the previous rabbit curiosity is that this rover is going to drill holes into the martian surface into the martian rocks collect coal this place them in titanium chew and leave them on the surface of mars for a future mission to collect them and bring them back to earth unless scientists most geologists would like to analyze the samples moss rocks in trees we can do a lot on mars with rogue us but we can't do that really technical stuff that we can do enough of our trees yet i understand the earliest will get those mars samples would be the year 2031 so we've got a decade or 2 away i want to talk about what your team is doing and you'll be evaluating prison mere inches camera photos what is so interesting in the crater where the rover is supposed to land so it's been pick

it's called "once upon a time i lived on mars." in 2013 she was the crew writer and second command on a four-month simulated mars mission of the nasa funded high seas project. her book is a vivid chronicle of that experience. she is a poet, essays, former laser physicist whose science journalism has appeared in major publications around the world. just taught writing and numerous universities, and that i in ear for expressive writing are very much in evidence for her new book. it's a beautifully written book, and both a pleasure to read and a totally absorbing account of her many months of isolation in nasa's simulation of a mars mission pitched 8000 feet up the hawaiian volcano. it wasn't planned this way of course, but published now in a time when the whole world is sheltering in place because of the coronavirus epidemic, pandemic, her book tells a great deal about the effects, physical, mental, social, even spiritual of forced isolation. kate, welcome. >> i could so much for having me. thank is so much for the beautiful introduc

we'll see if they find any signs of life on the planet of mars. all right, we are tracking an accident right now in now. but there is still some slowing in that area. so you see speeds down to about 26 miles per hour. taking a look at the supercommuters. always a slowing there. usual slowing this morning. but not too bad over the altamont pass. once you get over though you are looking at speeds at 18 miles per hour. taking a look at the main travel times, at 4:52 on this thursday morning, and everything in the green except for that westbound 580 because of that accident. your south bay travel times are looking pretty good. everything in the green le alio nicely even in the commute direction. and the san mateo bridge, take a look at that. you can see a lot of brake lights but not too bad heading into foster city and a quick look at the bay bridge toll plaza. not looking bad. >>> all right, now to an unusual story of how a bay area filmmaker managed to escape a cult in korea and is now putting her life on the big screen. cara jones is the director o

launched a mars mission this wake of the u.s. launches one next week as you mentioned that your crash one in 2017 as the india last year why all this activity now around as. well as you said miles is coming up to its closest approach to the earth and when you're dealing with interplanetary missions you really want to try and tie in your travel to take advantage of these close approaches if you time it wrong you can add months onto your travel time which then increases the amount of fuel you need and that's the cost of the mission and so you really want to time it around these points that's why we have this flurry of 3 missions. this 2 week period. and there was another mission actually europe in a mission to mars that was due to launch this year but because of delays they've had to delay that by a full 2 years to take advantage of the next opportunity and what are they all looking for up there. well there's a lot we don't yet know about mons although it's one of the highly explored places outside of the earth there is a lot we do

no fewer than 3 missions to mars are to be launched this month. the united arab emirates 1st ever interplanetary probe aims to examine mars atmosphere . china wants to put a lander. on its surface carrying a rover equipped with 6 scientific instruments. and then there's nasa says mars 2020 mission that's the one that daniela tears and nicole schmitz of the german aerospace center in berlin are most interested in right now. the perseverance rover is set to land at just 0 crater which is a very exciting place if you look there are lots of craters on mars but this one is very special because there's a river delta on its florida it shows that blowing water entered a body of still water and deposited sediment there it's proof that there was once a lake in the greater distance and where there was water there may have been life. the plan is that the rover will explore the area nicole schmitz is part of a team developing a very advanced camera system mounted on the rovers mast it will film the neighborhood in color and 3 d. . it's so powerful it could mak

we now know mars had an enormous amount of water in its past. if ancient life was on mars, you know, we have a good bet that we might be able to find it in these sediments. so this is really a life—detection mission. this is the most advanced mars rover that nasa's ever built. it's about the same size and weight as a small car and it is jam—packed with instruments. this is its robotic arm, equipped with a drill and it will take samples of rock that could contain signs of life. there's also an instrument that will try to make oxygen from the carbon dioxide rich atmosphere — a vital technology for future astronauts on mars. and for the first time, nasa will test a mini mars helicopter that will try to fly in the extremely thin martian air. it's another pair of eyes from a totally different vantage point. just being able to get to places that we simply can't get to today. like sides of steep cliffs or very steep crevices, craters, places like that that a roverjust can't rove into. i mean, we're going to need to fly. another first for this mis

people were observing mars, 1000 yea rs people were observing mars, 1000 years ago, from observatories in what was then persia. it is a really rich history that is finally being brought up—to—date. rich history that is finally being brought up-to-date. that's right. you rightly said the arab world was at the forefront when it comes to science so many years ago, so many centuries ago, and that is what the leadership and the people behind this project have been talking about. this mission is about providing that era, when the arab world was at the forefront and they are hoping that this will be successful and it will invite a new kind of decade or era and encourage other arab nations to join a space race. that is already happening. after the uae said it would watch this mission, saudi arabia and egypt have announced they will be investing in their own space programmes, but for the uae this mission is notjust about space, they hope it will act as a catalyst and inspire their young generation to ta ke and inspire their young generation to take up science, to build a skilled workforce t

>> supervisor peskin: thank you, chair mar. many years ago, when i was the chair of the board, and i created the oversight committee, while this entire chapter is scurrilous and shameful and an embarrassment to government and elected officials, this is exactly what the oversight committee was enacted to do. so let's get out it. >> supervisor mar: thank you, supervisor peskin. i'd like to introduce the department controller, who's going to lead the presentation. >> thank you very much for the opportunity and good afternoon to the committee. the first item here from the controller's office is our preliminary assessment on process, procedure, and pros specifically with regard to city contracting with a focus on public works. i'd like to first of all thank you in advance for any questions today as well as welcome those from the public. the important of the public tip line as well as the controller's information line provides important information. we have underway other work for friends of organizations and outside city accounts. w

launched a mars mission this wake up the u.s. launches one next week as you mentioned that your crashed one in 2017 as did india last year why all this activity now around us. well as you said miles is coming up to its closest approach to the earth and when you're dealing with interplanetary missions you really want to try and tie in your travel to take advantage of these close approaches if you time it wrong you can add months onto your travel time which then increases the amount of fuel you need and that's the cost of the mission and so you really want to time it around these points that's why we have this flow of 3 missions. this 2 week period. and there was another mission actually in europe in a mission to mars that was due to launch this year but because of delays they've had to delay that by a full 2 years to take advantage of the next opportunity and what are they all looking for up there. well there's a lot we don't yet know about mas although it's one of the most highly explored and places outside of the earth there is

have thought when it comes to planetary exploration after the 1st mars exploration mission there will also be an exploration of asteroids and a plan for a plan to cross it to jupiter as well as a mission to collect samples from mars and return to earth that were planning such missions time of year for the. well dr david browne's an astrophysicist a from the astronomy and astrophysics group at work at university in the u.k. welcome to day w i this sounds exciting and dangerous. good evening it is certainly exciting and as you mentioned in your introduction this is china's 1st independent mission to mars and as with any deep space mission there is an element of danger to it the 7 minutes descent to the surface of mars from orbit is notorious for failures of previous probes and about hoff of the previous missions to mars for more countries have been successful so this isn't a big investment for china yet so i'm the u.a.e. lordstown mas mission this wake up the u.s. launches one next week as you mentioned there your crash one in 2017 as they've india last year why all this activity now ar

it will take perseverance seven months to go 300 million miles to get to mars, and once on mars, it will look for signs of life. among other things, it will be collecting rock samples that they will bring back to earth, around the year 2031. pictures , live pictures of the mars rover, perseverance. other spacecraft from china and the united arab emirates are also on their way to mars. they blasted off last week. again, this is a live picture taking off from cape canaveral, florida. the mars rover, called perseverance, on its way. >>> time is 4:52. we get to talk about our weather, and pen and steve are back. steve paulson is talking about our forecast. steve? you are into spaceflight and things like that, that's exciting! >> i am excited indeed. but in the words of steven hawking, don't tell anyone we are here. >> yeah, [ laughter ] >> [ laughter ] >>> yes. our weather doesn't look like there will be a bit of a different twist, not dramatic or anything. we might bump up on some inland tabs temps in the next few days . we are stuck in a pattern, going all the way back to the 13th i believ
