Félix Lajeunesse was, professionally speaking, doing “great” on a weekday morning right before Easter weekend. On a personal level, however, he was feeling pretty knocked about by life.
The Mars Perseverance Rover now operational on Mars is using a barrier film from FUCHS Lubricants member company, Nye Lubricants, a manufacturer of specialty lubricants for space applications and critical applications in the automotive, medical, and semiconductor industries.
The Mars Perseverance Rover uses the company’s NyeBar Barrier Film formulation which plays a critical role in preventing oil from migrating to the Rover’s mast camera and compromising the image. A thin coating of NyeBar is also used to protect printed circuit boards by repelling moisture, oil, and attendant dust entrapment.
“Due to the extensive development time required for space projects, it can often be years between when we sell a grease and when it actually launches. It always feels like a great accomplishment when we see these projects come to fruition,” explained George Mock, president of Nye Lubricants.
“This is the first time that Ingenuity has been on its own on the surface of Mars,” said MiMi Aung, Ingenuity project manager at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. “But we now have confirmation that we have the right insulation, the right heaters, and enough energy in its battery to survive the cold night, which is a big win for the team. We’re excited to continue to prepare Ingenuity for its first flight test.”
If everything goes as planned, the Ingenuity helicopter will make its first flight soon within a 30-day window from the time it touched down Saturday. It will be the first flight of its kind on another world a Wright Brothers moment on Mars.
