- Description
- Episode 5 - Aerial Surveyor: In this episode, Sykes and Hare take the Mars Rover to another level and have to design an aerial surveyor - a device which explores by floating above the land. They are given a tiny camera to record information and they ingeniously attach it to a balloon heated by the sun. Meanwhile, Bullivant is to solve the puzzle that saved the lives of the ill-fated Apollo 13 astronauts. When their oxygen tanks were damaged, they were forced to build a carbon-dioxide filter out of simple bits and pieces, and Bullivant has to replicate this challenge. The task given to McCallie and Stewart is to work out the magnitude and epicenter of the 1872 California earthquake using only their scientific knowledge and basic equipment available. earthquake fault line carbon-dioxide filter desert dawn aerial surveying 1872 California earthquake epicentre magnitude Apollo 13
