Would they really not be able to test this on the ground in a vacuum chamber? Or is there no twin still back on Earth? I know Curiosity and Perseverance both have twin back here for some tests.
- jsmith45 5y agoI'd also think they could probably test the spin up to high RPMs on earth in a vacuum chamber, which would seem to be a good idea. It seems strange that they don't sound like they are planning that. It would seem weird that they would not have a twin model or two available on Earth. Testing actual flight at higher RPMs is another story though, since earth gravity is not the same as Mars.
