The Jet Propulsion Laboratory W/ Doug Ellison - Part 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 жов 2017
- I had a weekend trip to LA for TwitchCon and I took the opportunity to visit Opportunity.... or at least a model of this robot and its extended family. Doug Ellison heard I was coming and helped me get access to the usual public tour and some extra bits behind the scenes.
I grabbed a ton of footage and this is going to be a 3 part series, but Doug did an amazing job of narrating a lot of the details we don't normally get to hear about.

"I'm a photographer on Mars" is literally one of the coolest job descriptions I've ever heard.
It truly is a privilege to do it. Every single shift I make sure to remind myself just how lucky I am.
Do people ask you photography questions at parties ? hehe very good presentation there too.
I try to keep my photography planet ambivalent : dougellison.smugmug.com/Landscapes
That's awesome!
Cory Booth LMAO
I nominate Scott to visit every space museum in the world with a knowledgeable local in tow. Because this was amazing!
This sounds like a Kickstarter project just waiting to happen :) Would be great.
I agree
It's crazy how much you can learn just by listening to two intelligent and well-informed people simply talk about something. Seriously Scott, this is one of your best videos yet.
TripedalTroductions scott manley videos are more educational than school.
I concur. This has been my favourite video of Scott's. Can't wait for part 2.
My god, Doug was a fantastic to listen to. Most interesting video about NASA I can remember watching.
Thanks!
I've been watching your videos since starting my AE degree (and got an A in astronautics because of it) and had the pleasure of working at JPL this past summer as an engineering intern. If it weren't for your awesome videos about spaceflight and KSP I don't know if I would have the same fervor for rocketry or spaceflight as I do now. Working with UCI's rocket team, I can't help but think about the valuable lessons gained as a result of your channel! Thanks Scott!
'martians will have 100 words for beige when we finally have some'
RIP sides
Absolutely loved this series. Thanks to Doug for being such a gracious, informative and engaging host as well. Cheers lads.
Thank you Scott and Doug for making this video. I'm a huge fan of space exploration and this made me smile like a small child. Huge thumbs up to NASA and space community.
Anyone who has seen Scott play KSP knows he should not be allowed within 1000ft of any rocket science stuff for risk of explosion... but hey...
I can confirm that we managed to get Scott in and out of JPL with comparatively few explosions.
Doug Ellison Y'all must have had cheats activated.
"sees scott incoming"
*no crash damage : on*
hey, if he checks his staging it might be alright.
They just hid the fuel. It's much harder for Scott to blow things up without fuel.
Not saying it's impossible..
2:15 now we know why aliens destroy everything with lasers! they simply analyze molecular composition of living objects on earth :)
von nobody good one.
von nobody
Don't forget the "automatically"!
They simply don't control them!
Great job Doug Ellison for one of the most concise explanations of the two rovers (Curiosity and Opportunity) I have ever heard.
Thanks! I'm so lucky to work on them both, it's a privilege and a joy to share the excitement of what they do with the world.
Fun facts:
The old NASA logo is called the "worm." The new one is called the "meatball." For external documents and presentations (those that will be seen outside of JPL), JPLers will say "stick a meatball on it."
The "new" logo is also the old logo, used from 59-75. Then came the worm(which I quite like) and then back to the meatball. Meatball was also the name given to the red circle (hinomaru) marking of Japanese aircraft .
I worked at JPL last summer as an intern. I remember the first time I heard it called the meatball, I was just confused.
Isn't the "meatball" just a redesign of the old logo from the 60's?
Thanks for sharing Scott, very interesting.
Totally nerding out right now! Thanks Scott!
I miss it out there so much! I was an intern over the summer working on one of the secondary payloads of EM-1. I get to go back in just a couple of weeks for more training!! Glad more people get to see some of the stuff I saw.
I am loving this. Cant wait for part 2 - 1000
This is hands down the best overview of Curiosity I've seen. As well as the other spacecraft. Loving it!
So much appreciation for this, Scott and Doug. Legends! 🙌
Scott, I am always excited to watch new science videos from you. SUCH great content. Thank you so much.
I love it when Scott does these, I cant afford to go to the us, and look at all these amazing things. He's the perfect tour guide too!
At first I thought “Huh, a tour through JPL, probably not gonna be interesting” but it turned out to be really entertaining and informative! Great work, looking forward for part 2.
so cool I have been going hiking behind JPL for years always wondered what it looked like inside
Awesome tour!
Love the video Scott and Doug, its just like a personal tour with two super knowledgeable guides, cant wait for part 2 :)
This is a great tour and video, thanks Scott!
Thanks for this video, it was very interesting and informative. Doug was great, very fun to listen to. Please pass Doug Ellison thanks from all of us for a fantastic video. And thank you Scott for sharing!
naphtali levy Thanks! As you can probably tell, I had a blast showing Scott around. I’m very lucky to do what I do, so I take every opportunity (pun not intended) to share it with people when I can.
2:15 We've already made the Terminator. We've just shot it to Mars...
It's already kinda creepy how well Opportunity has done, given its original mission timeline.
To quote xkcd;
"We all remember those famous first words spoken by an astronaut on the surface of Mars: "That's one small step fo- HOLY SHIT LOOK OUT IT'S GOT SOME KIND OF DRILL! Get back to the ... [unintelligible] ... [signal lost]""
I can watch this all day! Thanks you!
I loved this, one of the most enjoyable videos in my UA-cam feed that I've seen in ages, can't wait for the next part :D
Fascinating thanks for posting, watched part 2 also.
I find it amusing that we've technically already made our first off-world tank armed with a laser :P
Awesome video by the way
I loved going here! The tour guides were very good and we got to see the Europa clipper being built
I think this is one of your best videos to date, Scott! I really enjoyed it!
this is awesome content! I really appreciate the trivia. :D thank you, Scott!
I remember Scott explaining the Curiosity rover a while ago in a VR simulator. Actually, his info were really close to the ones that Doug gives. Congratulations Scott!
that was so cool to watch waiting for part 2 now
I spent sooo many hours in that museum, during my thesis... Thanks Scott, that made me feel a bit nostalgic :'D
DAMN SCOT, that was awesome! Really, thanks for bringing that kind of content for us
Doug (and Scott), Thank you this was amazing.
Jeremy clarkson has said many times that a machine can have a soul, when they're almost human because they're not perfect, Posssibly it's also true for ones that go above and beyond thier duty (like some people do) and not calling quits after some difficulties.
So the mars rovers and even the some satelites such as galileo have that effect, (im not sure the ISS or hubble are there maybe perhaps because they just orbit).
Indeed - I've read JC's book "I know you got soul" and I absolutely would put the Spirit rover in that category near the top of the list - I'm sad I never got to work on her. Opportunity and Curiosity are up there as well.
Wow! Great video! What a magical place...
That opening banter was fantastic. got a good laugh.
Awesome job that the exhibit you're looking at is finished. When I was there it was still under construction.
Scott.. Thanks for the video and keep up the good work. I look up to you.
Scott this video changed my perspective on so much!! Thank you!
Argh, darn it, I was looking forward to see the sky crane...
+NightLurk patience
Oh wow, I was there in february this year, even though my tour wasn't nearly as detailed, it still was one of the most interesting places I ever had the opportunity of visiting.
So do you just wander around the JPL parking lot until someone who plays KSP recognizes you and offers to give you a tour?
+TheBlapman not quite.... although someone did recognize me
I love that the Galileo tape drive model has this nice blue laid out PCB, and a crap load of bodge wires overlaid on top of it. Clearly, multi-layer PCBs weren't yet in vogue.
I Really enjoyed this
3:40 could the selfies also be used as a way of inspecting the rover for damages?
Id assume that was the primary purpose of it.
Absolutely - they're used to check the status of the wheels
THey're the same diameter, but a little narrower, tougher, without the angled grousers - photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/jpeg/PIA21635.jpg
Drunken Hobo what design flow?
Man, am I jealous :-) That visit must have been awsome.
Really like this video, very interesting !
Amazing!
I used to work there many moons ago. Worked on a lot of awesome stuff.
Nice getting a model of the Explorer 1 in the beginning!
thx Scott realy an intreasting vid :) keep it up
huh, the rover is much bigger than i sort of just assumed based off the self portraits it has sent back.
Awesome thank you!!!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
The 'cyclops camera' is an extremely impressive bit of engineering.
Brilliant!
Thankyouthankyouthankyou - this is awesome!
Nerd knowledge battle - love the information overload.
Ah you gotta love that text auto fit in iMovie.
Haha! I was just about to comment this
Awesome vid Scott! If i could like it twice, I would ;)
Truly excellent and fascinating. Makes me feel a bit inadequate trying to set up a home CCTV system.
So friggin cool!
A veritable temple of nerddom - great vid Mr. Manley!
PS. Found out I use the same rover-as-guidance-computer idea in KSP (based on a SM design)! Parallel evolution FTW!
Damn, Curiosity is huge. I always forget this.
I was there in the summer, it's a really cool place!
That was great.
Man watch the sound levels, the outro almost tore my house down.
Oh, shit! I know Doug! I've had beers with him after a resoundingly successful #JPLTweetUp… like, before they decided to call them a "NASA Social". Hell, yeah!
very jealous that Doug gets to touch the rover :)
I love this, definitely will watch the other parts as well. Audio could use some improvement (leveling/automation in post). Thanks for the effort, I really appreciate your videos!
Awesome.
This needs more views! Scott is branching out from KSP
I love your outro music.
Just imagine what advanced rovers with larger data storages, super fast antennae and 12+ mega pixel color cameras. It’ll be great!
So - stay tuned. The 2020 Rover's Engineering Cameras are getting a MAJOR upgrade : www.hou.usra.edu/meetings/ipm2016/pdf/4132.pdf
aaaaand not nearly enough power to run it :)
You could just stick a smartphone on it. Not quite, but it is amazing to see how much technology has improved in these areas.
You should ask them where they keep the EMDrive. Probably in with their dilithium crystals and unobtanium.
Literally too cool for this world.
Looking forward to part II, when is it BTW?
Please add captions for Curiosity tour. I can't make out any clever comments.
omg that galileo craft is huge !
Wow. Doug Ellison commentary is so erudite it just goes to show that NASA just really does hire the smartest people in the world. Fair play to them, it takes a lot of guts and patience to find these kind of people. I'm just glad an institution like NASA exists to look after them all.
Scott, speaking to Doug does it not make you feel somewhat sad you are also not working there as well?
So... before AEGIS was the ApertureScience safety AI it was on Mars zapping Rocks with Lasers? That is so amazing! ^^
Scott, you really need to take a trip to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base to check out the Air and Space Museum there. It takes about six hours to walk through.
Hey Scott, great video, thank you for doing this!
Have you ever thought of buying a gimbal for your camera, in case you're gonna make more real life videos?
That would be awesome
Awesome:-)
The video was super interesting to watch! Some of the best content you put out in a while. I hope you can get a better audio setup in the future though. The constant change from loud to quiet made this hard to watch.
Before you panned up to show the top of explorer one, I thought, hey, isn’t that a waypoint beacon from No Mans Sky?
never realized Galileo was so big!
You didn't talk about the Morse Code on the wheels? That was one of my favorite stories I heard from the guy giving my family a tour.
Well - I figure everyone knows about that story - it's an old one at this point.
You lucky git! I wish i could go to JPL its like disneyland for rocket geeks
is that the actual size of the rover...its huge
+none business that is
Wow, this was amazing! where can i pick up my nerd party card?
Hey Scott, I have a question for you. What do you think of aerospikes ? Do you think they have a futur in space technology ?
Let's go!
This is youtube gold!
nice vid
The endeavor of fact videos continue!
