Carolina Weather Group

A rover to Mars. And Internet connected balloons. [Ep. 324]

16 Jul 2020

Description

We're excited to welcome Tony Rice back to the Carolina Weather Group.  Tony,  a NASA JPL Ambassador, joins us to discuss the upcoming Perseverance rover launch to Mars. We'll be introduced to the Mars 2020 rover's tools, equipment, and mission on the martian planet.  And speaking of martians... no, those weren't UFOs over North Carolina and South Carolina. "Loon Balloons" are high altitude balloons that beam Internet connectivity back down to the surface. They're intended to bring voice and data to isolated, rural areas - and areas impacted by natural disasters. Several balloons passed right over head and caught the attention of many of you.
