1- We are ready to start the prior to launch: let’s go!
2 - A lot of the technology used is so that it doesn’t fall into the wrong hands.
3 - In the new model, we can do without any kind of system because the craft is only
delivering supplies and doesn’t need to touch down to the surface.
4 - The signal from the probe has to be beamed to the so that it can be transmitted to Earth.
5 - The probe won’t intercept with Earth at all but will come close enough to get a assist and
be able to adjust course.
6 - If all the computers work, we will get all the we need to improve performance the next
time.
7 - The Hermes was built to last the full Ares Mission, so technically it’s only halfway through its
.
8 - Soon after the probe started to disintegrate, US Navy destroyers in the Pacific began to report
was falling from the sky.
9 - We need maximum to get the probe out of the earth’s atmosphere - have we got enough
power for that?
10 - Don’t forget about : NASA could take over command of the Hermes from mission control
