Surveyor-Hunveyor Mathematica demonstrations

The Mathematica is a complex programming language of the Wolfram Research. It has rich graphical possibilities which can be used for teaching and demonstrating not only mathematical, physical and chemical but biological, engineering structures, in complex motions. Among them those are shown here which are connected to the teaching space science and construction of the Hunveyor educational space probe. It was the Surveyor structure which had been used in planning the Hunveyor model, that is why we call this topics: Surveyor-Hunveyor Mathematica demonstrations.
Hunveyor-Surveyor
On the homepage of the Wolfram Research there are more than 5000 demonstrations. Among others 3 deals with the Hunveyor-Surveyor parallel demonstrations. On them the minimal space probe instrumentation, the flexible arm and the TV camera can be seen together with the solar panel and antenna motion.
Another demonstration displays mainly the skeletal motions, characteristic parameters, the motion of the pads. Especially the motions in the scissors of Nuremberg type flexible arm is shown in a third demonstration. Such arms were carried to the Moon by the Surveyor-3 and the Surveyor-7.
Humbleweed
The Humbleweed is a special rover type intended to be used sometimes on Mars. However it was used first in Greenland and Antarctica. The wind push it forward, like as the natural humbleweeds. Its name is for thumbleweed in English.
Several other motions and demonstrations can be seen at the Wolfram Demonstrations homepage which are related to space science: opening antennas, arms, umbrellas, skeletons.
