Q. American Space agency NASA is collaborating with Honeybee Robotics in Brooklyn Navy Yard for what project?- Published on 22 Sep 15a. First space vessel to explore deep space
b. First space shotgun to determine strength of other asteroids and space rocks to check if they are fit for sampling
c. First space suit to be used both inside the space capsule and outside it
d. First space station on Mars
ANSWER: First space shotgun to determine strength of other asteroids and space rocks to check if they are fit for sampling
American space agency NASA is teaming up with Honeybee Robotics as part of its Asteroid Redirect Mission to develop the first space shotgun. This shotgun will test the strength of asteroids and space rocks to assess if they are sturdy for sampling. The Asteroid Redirect Mission focuses on chipping off a massive chunk of the asteroid and shifting it into the Moon orbit. The objective is then to send the manned spacecraft to collect samples for preparing a Mars Mission. Gun will work through dislodging of asteroid chunks out of orbit and bringing them closer to the moon. The strength of a space rock can be measured by the gun by firing a bullet at the surface of the boulder to enable physicists to work out the solidity of the rock by measuring its rebound speed. NASA has identified this as a key step towards human exploration of Mars.
