Bright Moments Posted February 22, 2004 Report Posted February 22, 2004 What's for dinner Maw? Aw shucks--Rat AGAIN??!!! http://images.auctionhelper.com/images/the...com/n/80731.jpg Quote
BFrank Posted February 22, 2004 Report Posted February 22, 2004 Simulated image of the RAT on the arm of the rover as it grinds a rock target. In order to look at the interior of rocks, a field geologist on Earth uses a rock hammer. On the Athena payload, the job of a rock hammer is done by the RAT -- the Rock Abrasion Tool. The RAT is positioned against a rock by the rover's instrument arm, and uses a grinding wheel to remove dust and weathered rock, exposing fresh rock underneath. The RAT exposes an area nearly 5 cm (2 inches) in diameter, and grinds down to a depth of about 5 mm (0.2 inches). Quote

Dr. Rat Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 Great cover, and a pretty good album, too. The pictured rat composed a couple of the tunes on the CD. --eric Quote
