NASA's Latest Venus Probe Concept Looks Like a Tim Burton Creation. Everyone forgets about Venus because it’s not Mars. Or Saturn. Or Jupiter, for that matter. Or, maybe it’s because Venus is a toxic wasteland. Still, the second planet from the Sun deserves a little more credit than it currently gets. Recently, a team of researchers NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory dropped their latest design for a “clockwork” rover they hope will explore Venus—and the concept art is delightfully twisted. The Automaton Rover for Extreme Environments (AREE) project was first proposed back in 2.

AREE is a rover that uses Venus’ harsh conditions conditions to its advantage, relying on wind to power its mechanical computer. Since Venus’ atmosphere is about 9. Earth’sand heats up to about 8. Fahrenheit (4. 62 degrees Celsius), designers have to make something hearty enough to sustain seriously hellish conditions.

It’s also admittedly cool that the design for AREE looks like Wall- E’s evil twin. While Venus has been explored a handful of times in the past, no spacecraft has survived the surface for long.

Director Stephen Frears switches between comedy and drama, but the transitions are smooth enough. The second most obvious reveal would be something involving Snoke. Could his identity be the answer? It’s certainly possible and we know there are plenty of crazy. Dreaded Aussie flu heading towards Britain could kill as many people as the Hong Kong pandemic of 1968, public health expert warns.

Ironically, the AREE team thinks it can utilize old technology—like Morse code and mechanical computers—to create the perfect new probe for Venus. Yes, you read that right: AREE would send Morse Code messages to balloons in Venus’ atmosphere, and then beam those messages back to Earth.

The team thinks that in such a hostile region, “steampunk” computing might be better than relying on anything electronic.“Venus is too inhospitable for kind of complex control systems you have on a Mars rover,” Jonathan Sauder, a mechanical engineer at JPL who’s leading the AREE project, said in a statement. But with a fully mechanical rover, you might be able to survive as long as a year.”Building a Venus- hardy probe poses unique challenges, and a lot of folks are working on it. Another team at NASA, unrelated to AREE, is currently building computer chips out of silicon carbide that will hopefully withstand the atmosphere on a Venus trip someday. Right now, the AREE team is in the second phase of NASA’s Innovative Advanced Concepts program, working out the kinks in their design to create something better. The design is still in its very early stages and there’s no guarantee it’ll ever actually take off. But hopefully, AREE will get to Venus, eventually—there’s something heartwarming about a steampunk machine frolicking around the smog of an alien atmosphere.[NASA].
