As technology advances exploring becomes easier and more practical, NASA is willing to offer $1 million for the first team that can put together a robot that can be virtually controlled from Earth as it travels to Mars. NASA wants a robot, similar to Robonaut 5 that can re-align communication satellites and maybe fix any number of environmental disturbances, especially when dealing with communication delays between Earth and Mars. This competition is going to be a partnership with Space Houston and the innovation consultant organization NineSigma. Creating robots that can perform very steady and precise applications in order to work with any delays in communications can be of great advantage in spaceflight or landing missions on Mars, and any other mission that deals with any complications that may or will occur.

Learn MoreMechanical bearings help to reduce the friction between moving parts, proving to be a vital component in a wide variety of machines ranging from bicycles to airplanes. Bearings are a component that consists of five basic parts which include seals, balls, ball cages, races, as well as grease. Multiple balls are placed between races, which are concave surfaces. This allows the balls to rotate freely amongst one another with minimal friction (though one ball is typically fixed). The seals and ball bearing cages help to hold everything in place, while also keeping out any dirt or debris. The grease helps to protect and lubricate the entire moving system. It is important to keep in mind though that not all bearings are created equally.
