Each planet in our solar system has a different gravity, and the strength of gravity depends on two factors: 💫 mass of the planet 💫 distance from the centre of the planet So how do the other planets in our solar system compare to Earth? With about 38% of Earth's gravity, on Mercury you'd weigh less than half of your current weight. Whereas, Jupiter's massive size gives it a powerful gravity, about 2.5 times that of Earth, making you feel significantly heavier. Each planet's unique gravity creates a distinct environment, contributing to the fascinating diversity of our solar system. We recently challenged YouTuber Airrack to complete the world’s first zero-gravity bottle flip.

We’ve supported work in space for seven decades, supplying lubricants for some of the most extreme and harshest environments imaginable. The entry, descent and landing phase of a Mars mission is often referred to as "7 minutes of terror" because during the descent, the spacecraft must slow down from around 13,000 mph to a complete stop in just 7 minutes! This high-stakes process involves complex maneuvers and zero room for error, making it one of the most nerve-wracking moments in space exploration. Listen to our latest Castrol on Mars episode aptly named "7 Minutes of Terror" as Professor Briony Horgan and Dame Dr. Maggie Aderin-Pocock venture to the dusty surface of the mighty Red Planet to talk about the groundbreaking rover missions to Mars.

The Canadarm’s design was revolutionary for NASA’s space exploration. The series of robotic arms have rotating joints at the shoulder, elbow and wrist. They have the ability to lift over 30,000 kg, or just over 33 tonnes (266,000 kg in microgravity) using less electricity than a kettle! We are proud that our mission-critical, space-grade lubricants have been lubricating the Canadarm for over 40 years 🇨🇦🦾 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/ekFf_HCN #Castronomy #Canadarm #Robotics

For over seven decades, Castrol have been providing mission-critical lubricants that are essential for advanced space technologies. In 2023, Castrol began collaborating with the MIT Media Lab to support the AstroAnt Payload Program. AstroAnts are miniature swarm robots designed to perform inspections and diagnostic tasks on external surfaces of spacecraft, rovers, and landers. The AstroAnts payload will be deployed on Lunar Outpost's MAPP Rover to the lunar South Pole, launching early 2025. Keep an eye out on our socials for our exciting upcoming video series on the AstroAnt, giving you an insight into the mission & its preparation.
