ho let's go badly here with episode 53
of interstellar quest we returned to one of
are surface probes from our Eve Explorer spacecraft
where it will oldest same to the surface of even its last trip
it will air cat and old enter into the clouds getting in folded by the purple
giant
and on it so we don't it purple surface it will collate all sorts of scientific
information
and hopefully beams some of it back that's why we had to
aim for the daytime site because the only power this has
are those too little solar panels and we want to transmit
as much as possible on the way down running at four times time acceleration
were picking up
a deal what of spin here which is going to make a very hard to select scientific
instruments
might slow things down a deal little
the parachute is already arm so even if I lose power it should fire
deploy the correct time and altitude
market bag go in there so we got a buncha sensors on this
atmosphere sensor some of the sensors indicate large concentrations of sulfur
dioxide
mission control insist that despite containing oxygen
the gas is not Berryville reasonable but my god
the materials react to the situation mission control comments on your
vagueness
yes it they're spinning around like something insane no
getting extra exposed to the plasma I suppose
okay we slaughter cells don't quite a lot
can we still can recollect high altitude data before we
get outta this spin reform we go to law
their ago observed the goose seems to do a little dance is it bounces around the
container
something needs to be fixed for 23 .5 rate
okay we're trying to get into these other instruments will prove useful
ha k low gravity data
okay do that at this altitude liquid chromatograph
nope ok there's the parachute deploying and we are on the drogue chute
high in the atmosphere Aviv clouds are so few weak acid to can't be found
yeah a the screen is displaying temperature information does
continuously bad puns et cetera et cetera
the barometer is reading the same pressure as sea level of
occur bid this would be fine if not for the vast amount to Sky
still below you i neva sphere et cetera et cetera okay
think we've got everything here it's no just a case of making sure
that we make are we to the surface with best possible he
East just seeing them were worried like a barbecue rule here all look at the
clouds still
flying on beneath those ready to corrode is a way for nothing oh the borough
mister would be broken
if not for its ability to move the decimal really far to the right
it yes lotta pressure light a temperature this is not a pretty place
to be
we've already got the temperature on that and while all really continues a
descent at a much faster pace
I'll point out the date is in fact April 1st when this is published so
for everyone asking for their Scott Manley is my real name
know my real name is in fact Maximilian powers born awesome dude
I can also confirm that you regard was not in fact the first man to orbit the
Earth
however he was the first man to land on the moon where he found
dinosaurs nazis and several Pokemon
okay we're a bit foreclosures up still falling under the stroll
let's ditch but that didn't work better
I was hoping to build to ditch my heat shield to make my landing a little more
on you careful but that doesn't seem to have worked at all in fact it seems that
that has slowed by descent but they
P shield is firmly stuck to the bottom of my space craft
perhaps some interaction with the atmosphere is holding it in place
I either chemical are dynamic look all there's there
all look is starting to come off it would be kinda looks like a motha their
slick beaker from the Muppets maybe maybe maybe you see it is
is be it's like the beaker probe if you guys don't know what I'm talking about
the should go and see the Muppets because Muppets are awesome
we fought way barrier I he says mystery I'm sorry I grew up with the Muppets
named Sesame Street came on in like up
the no-look there we go that's it we're finally getting rid of it
it Adobe Kors losing is Marathe
just getting okay said no we r don't
29 meters per second the wheel or still in the upper atmosphere here we still
have no more in use science at this altitude
I'll look we are being passed by our heat shield
the supposedly heavy hichi all way wayward membership goal
we might no okay course it's a two-stage shoot
that sneaky shoots trying to confuse me
all regardless known about 500 meters up
surely I'm low enough to start collecting a law atmosphere signs from
this bar owners are
look am wait a second why is it not doing that show
spurt quit second as low temperature
the screen is displaying all temperature puns not very good come on
hone law is lot was here science still no indication as to why it's also purple
barometer yes barometer would be broken et cetera et cetera
me gas chromatograph here instead of distant clouds are so few weak acid
found in the higher
atmosphere it exists as he he's
okay no seismometer just yet soon your time we shall come soon mister size are
mister
there is much for you to learn their are
or hopefully me to seismometers actually work in
in the liquid in the seas I was a base a water but this is not water
I think we've decided this is probably some sort of mercury base rocket fuel so
you know as I said die ethyl died methylmercury
that would be the stuff hideously toxic will pass straight through rubber
let yada yada yada come on you're like 22 beaters up this is taking
so long oh wow yeah this is taken so long
I'll just just time accelerate I am very very quickly to the ocean here
hoping that some awesome stuff will be here oh wait
I think Africa up to turn on their voice changer and you're hearing me without my
fake Scottish accent
almost there and
dodged a touched slash dad
a nothing caught fire which is points what actually I'm surprised because
you know the repeated knocks ties with carbon dioxide nitrogen and are gone
none of those things tend to combust with diet for mercury
or die methylmercury you know I get those confused all the time
as do certain people that fear you know where vaccines and things like that
okay so what's cool what we gonna do we wanna
activate things here log the temp sure the liquid appears to be read eating
heat why that's fascinating
the Google appears to have merged with the leak we don't know if contaminated
the oceans
I'm observe materials Bay
I'm the jail samples begin to evaporate making orange colored smoke you suddenly
wonder if this could be used to make
colored exhaust I'm
the needle spins wildly before the device caves in and begins to fears
mmm perhaps the oceans are in fact so da
I would be nice Corsair you know
coca-cola is legendarily corrosive
has supposedly that would be consistent with the
so that the descriptions a eaves oceans le gravity deter
you feel lucky you are sinking
yes will the probe should meanwhile back in space
the EE loo and I know Explorer I guess
is gonna have to meet a course correction slurry arrives
at ILU in a boat a year and a half
yes somebody noticed last the previous episode that this was in my taint able
and you should get in to see this thing unfortunately
it's still a year and a half a week
from the target there we go burn completed what do we see we see what we
take it the maneuver node
and there a one-year a hundred and ten days okay
so its one and a third years not one and a half years
living not so swiftly on we have this second upper atmosphere probes
once again making its debut on the giant
purple stage that is Eve dropping my Perry abstain to just under 60
kilometers and making
well a crossing my fingers a boy it would cross fingers up and actually had
robot manipulators
but instead it just flips around the back of the planet
ads stars2 interact with that purple goodness that is Eve
know who I will point out this summer she noticed that one of these
up both these experiments were in fact
open and that is absolutely true they have not been transmitted
the were intended for the app astronaut pick them up
but instead a he forgot at me float off into
well eighty Eve and I don't think he's going to be going to
you retrieve the data from these experiments good thing we still have
something on this space craft on the
on the eve Explorer to actually a collecting this data
for him so all I needed to do was reset the experiments because they had been
transmitted
anyway this thing continues to descend through the atmosphere like a thing
and falling very very quickly now the game is telling me that these are clouds
are
horrific Lee toxic and dangerous things that frankly
my degrees in interior design and decoration are telling me
that that purple is more offensive to the a high is than to any
other senses did I see interior design part me
slip of the tongue I what I really meant to say was my degrees in
astrology because of course it's very important to be able to protect people's
their reactions to colors
by looking at the day they were born in the arrangement of the stars in the sky
which will have a
hugely important effect upon their lives yes
yes astrology is incredibly important to my channel
as you understand you know I am being very careful to coordinate the release
of my videos so that the
Elaine with the natural rhythms of the universe and bring harmony to everything
it's very important to understand the harmonic major Op YouTube
and how the happened fool all of catch videos
well actually brain the
earth to a new state been lightened being
this is what I have learned through my at work in astrology
and after that long earned the same to we r
finally just a boat to touch down on the surface the
actual surface of Eve
parolee int there we have it
finally solid ground which means the seismometer will actually be able to do
its work but
well we have to wait for their things to clear that for the experiments to clear
right now
what does what does the signs junior have to say
this samples appear to be torn between their allegiance to green and their new
environment of purple
the turn in indecisive she'd a blue
what we need is commander about over to solve this particular problem
which is a mystery good think the girl looks very
purposely actually the correct term is purple
ish if you ask me what else do we have
thermometer the temperature is so hot the thermometer was to slap you in the
face
yes a liquid chromatograph doesn't do anything useful gravity data
just looking at the Rideau makes you feel heavier
yes 1.75 or something is it
its not pretty barometer
app is here yes I could have told you that without sending that expensive
instrument
k what other ones we have the chromatograph
the atmospheres a Eve seemed to consist of prime early of carbon dioxide
and nitrogen well that's convenient
and the size of which are finally getting in touch with its inner Eve
this sensor has detected possible seismic activity
below the surface run-ups urinalysis
as you analyze the pressure around you you start to feel very hesitant
about sending any credible so that their
it's a good thing I didn't bring any with me because otherwise
um I would be sending remote sites except for a quick
all look around okay so that is that much of the surface science done
letters move swiftly on and back into the skies above the EVE
out to in fact the moon's a boat Eve the
Eve satellite is coming in for its final encounter with
gigli is relatively low steals less than a hundred meters per second
but as we've seen this thing does accelerate
a rather more slowly than many things that accelerates very slowly
and for that matter it decelerates very slowly because deceleration is of course
the same thing as
acceleration but they're spelled differently that's what physics taught
me
an early bike turning me the and 10 all the way around and looking over its
shoulder were able to get
30 megawatts 30 megawatts a-power
which confuses the maneuver node system to
make it not sure where the actual maneuvers gonna be
and solar after a bit of burning and a bit of thinking a bit of consideration
what we're trying to do is slow or encounter below still
their EC it's like not sure friggin encounter once more
so I make another trim a just need to try and bring the
spacecraft into it closer encounter sooner with Gilly trying to make sure
that
when we do encounter it we will have plenty of time to slow down
now as we are about to cross into the sphere of influence Aviv there should be
some
new signs for me to collect that's the whole reason this satellite is here
it has these nice magnetometers which unfortunately
are both carrying store to deter from around Eve
so if I want to get a reading on gilliam gonna have to dump wanna these at least
temporarily so why do yet
I load the data it certainly didn't capture a magnetic field
so I do that and that means I'm gonna have to fly
out of the sphere of influence again and then back in
to collect the scientific data anyway it doesn't just have the magnetometers on
it it has a whole host of other scientific instruments
only one of which is useful the log gravity detailed gravity detail for logs
the gravity is ridiculous plane curve ball on Gayley might end up putting the
ball into orbit
except that it would fall back Darren because we all do with you can't do that
anyway after a quick excursion out of egg Gillis
a sphere of influence to get the data and falling back and I have the burn
of half in meter per second to unfortunately I only have about 300
kilowatts
a bit of monkeying around with this it gets me some more power
is ok 350 and
you could see how ridiculous the the thrusters that this it is
absolutely minuscule I on engines generate more thrust than this but
interstellar don't care it's just producing a relief spectacular
a you both engine effects for this thing regardless of the fact of how little
thrusters
actually generating look we may should no cover
are at predicted maneuvered owned by 8.1 meters per second
accepted the wobbling in the space craft is bigger than that
and you can see why from this angle you can see that the planet qurban is there
at the point at which I'm it Perry abstract gigli
is on the far side to that thing so
the only place I'm getting power from are those solar power arrays which
really
still are even close to their proper position
regardless they get there and we back it Kerbal space center the boys from the
aviation team
helped by Bill chairman Bob have come up with the new
single stage two orbits spaceplane that this will be filling in for the rocket
launchers which are
I really needed to send deploy that solar network
these will hopefully be carrying stuff to New York herbal orbit
they'll be able to launch just as often or at least the bill too much
in between the regular the the rocket launchers
I'll unfortunately we haven't worked on the cabin just yet
I should prolly get much for that but there goes it using the
be named saber engine it has those little
intakes on the site attached to intercoolers
the main fuse elijah is at be nine wins a car will be
in there we have a couple a nuclear engines
on the side and we are not really exhilarating as fast as I would like
because
I am trying to pitch up and I'm still not getting any response here
just tweaking the y'all at the role to keep an eye on the runway come on ***
gemacht bicho up are there we go
we r airborne and we are heading even to this guys we have
very important mission for this thing on
so the first place this is gonna visit is going to be there at the power
station
in orbit at know you'll notice that when clicking here that there is some fuel
imbalance building up I'm not sure what's causing this but
I'm going to use to fuel balance for to balance
all the fuel but everyone will be really happy and will keep streets and I'll
keep progressively balancing the fuel between the tanks and stop saying
going %uh it does appear to be
horrific Lee hard to fly it just wants to also lead up and down all the time
but this flew a lot better during the test when it didn't have appeal orders
well
but it's able to claim up at about a hundred
1890 meters per second
or promotion going in a 10 degree claim here
that will mean that week with the noises in the twenty degree claiborne actual
velocity vectors near 250 degrees at this point
no unfortunately it with this runs into a minor problem on the way up
you see a I've already mentioned that the control surfaces get weaker when she
hit about Mach 1 because a player as supersonic effect
what happens is as I reach about 10 kilometers
I start really pick up speed at which means my control surfaces get weaker
which means my nose starts to go down a nice start to
have a real trouble gaining altitude and a
ended up spending way too much time getting this thing actually into orbit
but of course
will see this thing doing its job in orbit in the next episode until then I'm
Scott Manley
fly safe
Yes, I made all that stuff up.
