Planet Mars it is currently being explored by NASA with the help of a robot called Curiosity, which was sent there to gather as much data as possible about the ground, and not only that. At the moment when it was trying to make new excavations on the surface of the planet Mars to collect new data for researchers, the robot "hit" a new serious problem that kind of blocked the people from NASA.
The planet Mars has a soil whose consistency is not exactly in the parameters that those from NASA believed following the analyzes made on Earth, and this made it very difficult to explore using the Curiosity robot. This time the problems generated by the planet Mars came after an attempt by NASA to insert a temperature probe under the surface there, but it seems that not everything went as it should.

The planet Mars is very far from Earth, but the Curiosity robot is constantly sending data to NASA, including images, such as the ones below, where you can see how the robot got stuck this time. These new problems on the planet Mars appeared after, until a few weeks ago, NASA could not insert another probe into the surface of the celestial body, but it apparently managed to solve that problem quite quickly.

The planet Mars was supposed to have the probe inserted at a depth of up to 5 meters from which robot, but the soil is so sandy that the components sent to probe it are not exactly suitable for what needs to be done. The process of analyzing the soil on the planet Mars was not quite as simple as the Americans at NASA would have liked, but they are constantly looking for solutions to solve the problems.
The planet Mars is going to have the first people sent there by those from NASA in about a decade and a half, but in the meantime they have to analyze very well everything they can about the environment there.
