Our short and to the point PRESSURISED version of episode 15. If you don't have time for the full episode and want to get right to the science without any of our waffle, this is the place to be! Read the show notes and find the full episode here: www.armatusoceanic.com/podcast/015-space-pt2   We are still exploring the parallels between space and deep-ocean exploration. It feels like technology and access is really accelerating in both spheres. Don calls in to teach us about the amount of water in our solar system and the potential new job title – Planetary Oceanographer.   When samples or access to a vehicle is limited, how can we ensure that resources are shared fairly? We have seen it lead to disagreements on ships. With something as singular and precious as a Mars rover, how are its objectives planned? Evan Hilgemann, mechanical engineer and Curiosity Rover driver with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab (JLP) joins us to share how a rover is managed. We chat about the parallels between exploring mars and exploring the deep sea, the similar issues we face, what we can learn from each other and most excitingly, where is technology heading on both fronts! These are exciting times.   Feel free to get in touch with questions or you own tales from the high seas on: [email protected]   We are also on Twitter: @ArmatusO Facebook: ArmatusOceanic Instagram: @armatusoceanic Read the show notes and find out more about us at: www.armatusoceanic.com   Glossary Autonomous - Something which can get on with things without human control AUV - Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Distributed intelligence – a very fuzzy term but basically multiple ‘stupid’ elements working together to do complex processing or make complex decisions.
