[Culturechat] Sachseln travel to Mars

[Vance Roy]

A Sachseln company, Maxon, manufactures electrical motors. Most are 
under an inch in greatest diameter. Some as small as a half inch. There 
are 39 of these little motors on the two Mars mission vehicles. The one 
already landed and the one to land 25 January. They help run the 
drivers for the radar and the robot's antennas and cameras. None of 
them weigh over 150 grams.

There is a little bit of home on the red planet today.
