The material was used for thermal insulation in the 2003


Aerogel or "solid smoke" is a novel material that is made of silicon dioxide, like glass, but is a thousand times less dense than glass because it is extremely porous. Material scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory created the lightest aerogel ever in 2002, with a density of 0.00011 pounds per cubic inch. The material was used for thermal insulation in the 2003 Mars Exploration Rover. If the maximum space for insulation in the spacecraft's hull was 2510 cm3, what mass (in grams) did the aerogel insulation add to the spacecraft?
