Attention, robot probes!

We have a device.

Send a robot probe!

But that leaves a real riddle.

And that's a picture of me in front of it for scale.

Send another probe at once!

Now, no one will argue that we don't have robots.

Now we have to get through the ice.

So one of the tools that we use to sample the deep ocean are remotely operated vehicles.

That's good to know.

Europa is so far away that even at the speed of light, it would take more than an hour for the command just to reach the vehicle.

But even tiny Enceladus may be large enough to hide life.

We sent two orbiters and two landers in the summer of 1976.

The probe materialized at the target coordinates.

Late last night, the Christiane deployed two remotely operated vehicles, or R.O.V.s, that verified what the national trans portation safety board had long feared,

Now, what are you going to do when you reach the surface of that ocean?

The probe has touched down on the planet six days ago.

A job opportunity, agent ellison.

This is Phoenix, we just put two years ago.

You can kind of see that.

NASA Langley Research Center.

I'll have activated the holodetector. Now, hurry.

Instead you get near it.

Robotic rover

Voyager 1, Voyager 2, Pioneer 11 and Pioneer 10, the first four spacecraft to have left the solar system.

Captain, we are receiving telemetry.

We've already began to explore our No.1 pick, Mars.

But we launch plutonium batteries all the time.

Light detection and ranging.

This is the brain.

Chemical rockets provide too much thrust, too much push.

It's operating on the International Space Station.

Yeah, dogs, and metal detectors, and locker searches, and strip searches.

This is all behavioral autonomy here that's being conducted by the robot on its own.

We cover hundreds of miles, and we fly about 450 miles an hour.

Here we have Juno on its cruise to Jupiter, there.

An imperial probe droid.

But no probe's ever come back positive before.

And it's also about potential, on a personal level.

The gravity of the asteroid pulls on the probe, and the probe has a couple of tons of mass.

It was, It burns! It burns!

So that's getting a lot of interest, and to show you some example of what we did in there, we actually dropped a probe, which was developed by our colleagues in Europe, we dropped a probe as we were orbiting Saturn.

Where's your field box?

Tremendous and beautiful discovery.

What do you see coming up?
