Alright, so I'm a screenwriter and I've come across a problem; scientific accuracy. I'm not very smart in terms of science, so I need a little help.
The premise of the story goes like this; A group of NASA scientists send a rover up to Europa. It gives them video footage, and they can control its movements. They discover an intelligent Alien life form that has already made camp up there and is studying ocean lifeforms on the moon. They cannot communicate with it, but they can follow it around and see what its doing.
Here are my questions-
1. Is it actually possible to have a rover with video footage? What would have to have in order for this to be possible?
2. Eventually, the scientists would want to communicate with the alien. Is is possible to upgrade the rover from where they are, or would they have to send out another one that has such an upgrade?
3. I've been searching for ages to find stuff that can help me out with this concept, but can't find anything. Are they any good websites/books that cover rovers and other things like this?
Thanks so much for your guys' time and patience. Any advice is welcome.
