    How do you get to know someone deep down? Sometimes you have to dig a little bit – or in my case, burrow. Soon my robotic mole will start hammering itself into the ground, to help take the temperature of #Mars. Here’s a look at how it works:pic.twitter.com/n6Qd6BxUiI

        Yes, lots of international help got me to where I am! And you’re right: @DLR_en took the lead on the instrument, with partners at the Polish Academy of Sciences’ Space Research Center and @astronika_space providing that elegant hammering mechanism.

        There you are on Mars, by virtue of our most advanced technology, using the simplest machines known to man (the wedge, the inclined plane/screw), to do unprecedented science. You're not only clever, you're elegant.

        😊 Thank you -- and thanks to @astronika_space for their design of the hammering mechanism!

        What happens if there is a rock just below the surface? I mean the amount of times I'll dig the soil in my back garden and ill hit a stone with the fork. Im intrigued how that is handled.

        My team was careful to pick a landing site where I’d have a good chance of getting to the 3- to 5-meter depth we aim for. The mole can push aside small rocks, and if it meets a bigger one, depending on rock shape it might edge past it and keep going. In any case, I’ll do my best!

        Absolutely awesome! What's the end depth goal?

        Anywhere from 3-5 meters (or about 10-16 feet).

        How is all of this controlled? Has it times programme been set up? Is it controlled remotely? Or is it controlled by the passing of satellites?

        Each day, the team back at @NASAJPL sends me a to-do list of commands. I do my best to complete them all. Then, at the end of the day, I report back how everything went. I send data, images, etc. up to the Mars orbiters overhead, and they send it back to Earth for me.
