New alloy mesh tyres to carry humans across Mars
Ferrari Press Agency
Tyres 1
Ref 16489
23/01/2025
See Ferrari text
Pictures must credit: NASA
The tyres that could carry astronauts over the surface of Mars have been unveiled by US space agency NASA.
While several robotic missions have landed on Mars, NASA has only explored 1% of its surface.
Ahead of future human and robotic missions to the Red Planet, NASA recently completed rigorous rover testing on Martian-simulated terrain;
It used a revolutionary alloy mesh tyre developed at the agency’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland in partnership with car tyre manufacturer Goodyear.
The tyres were made from a nickel-titanium alloy which has the ability to rearrange its atomic structure when force is introduced.
It’s a shape memory metal which means it that can return to its original shape after being bent, stretched, heated, and cooled.
Rovers for exploring planetary surfaces must be equipped with adequate tyres for the environment.
Mars has an uneven, rocky surface so the durable so-called shape memory alloy tyres will make that possible.
They can absorb the impact from a wide range of sharp, craggy rocks without suffering damage.
NASA engineers just tested the tyres at a UK facility owned by European aircraft maker Airbus that simulates the Martian terrain, called Mars Yard.

Galapagos animal paradise
August 5, 2024 - Galapagos Islands, Ecuador: A marine Iguana sits on rocks in front of breaking waves on Chinese Hat, Sombrero Chino Island. Behind the iguana are sally lightfoot crabs. The Galapagos archipelago is known for its rich animal life: wide variety of finches, swimming marine iguanas, flightless cormorant, fur seals living side by side with tropical animals, and many more species. The government of Ecuador designated part of the Galapagos a wildlife sanctuary in 1935, and in 1959 the sanctuary became the Galapagos National Park. In 1978 the islands were designated a UNESCO World Heritage site, and in 1986 the Galapagos Marine Resources Reserve was created to protect the surrounding waters.

Jasper, garnet, sometimes sapphires: pocketfuls of treasure at Gemstone Beach
At Orepuki, on the remote south coast of New Zealand's South Island, a bed of riches colour the shoreline, bringing gem hunters from near and far.
Jasper, hydro-grossular garnet in pinks, greens and yellows, patterned fossilised worm-trails, spotted argillite, frosty white quartz, speckled granites, pink-flecked rhodonite and - in rare cases - the unmistakeable blue of sapphire, colour the low-tide line.
The gems likely started their lengthy journey to Gemstone Beach during the last ice age, roughly 16,000-18,000 years ago. As the landscape of Fiordland - the dramatic mountainous region of the lower South Island - altered and released its rocks.
