00:00:00,470 --> 00:00:05,129
My name is William Allen, I’m a Mechanical
Design Engineer with NASA’s Jet Propulsion

2
00:00:05,129 --> 00:00:15,330
Laboratory.

3
00:00:15,330 --> 00:00:20,609
Mars 20/20 is the next Rover in the evolution
of Mars Rovers.

4
00:00:20,609 --> 00:00:28,949
We have taken the previous Rovers, the Curiosity
Rover and using it’s DNA or architecture

5
00:00:28,949 --> 00:00:36,590
are designing a new Rover that can be equipped
to gather samples and prepare them for a possible

6
00:00:36,590 --> 00:00:38,250
return trip to earth.

7
00:00:38,250 --> 00:00:42,940
Sample return from Mars is becoming a reality
and this is our first step to making that

8
00:00:42,940 --> 00:00:43,940
happen.

9
00:00:43,940 --> 00:00:46,160
So being a part of that is very exciting.

10
00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:55,240
One of the challenges on the 20/20 mission,
is reusing previous missions DNA & architecture

11
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,400
such as MSL’s Curiosity.

12
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,930
We’re going to carry that forward as a starting
point on 20/20.

13
00:01:00,930 --> 00:01:07,420
We’re revamping our infrastructure processes
and tools to be able to accommodate this and

14
00:01:07,420 --> 00:01:09,310
to become very efficient at doing it.

15
00:01:09,310 --> 00:01:13,820
This will help us maximize our resources on
future missions.
