Certainly some serious issues to contend with.

Im sure we could attempt to shield some of the more susceptible components from radiological damage via the likes "high-Z foam" which is apparently near enough as good as bulk materials at blocking high-energy gamma rays.

As to thermal shielding some form of internal active cooling solution might help in that department.

As to pressure, im thinking we can just about handle that considering its around 93 bar or 1,350 psi, which is roughly the pressure found 900m or 3,000ft underwater on Earth.

It would not be an easy task to accomplish but nothing worthwhile seldom is, i suggest its on the borders of what we are currently able to achieve with the material science we have available. Getting it there and down in one piece might be a different matter all the same, considering the logistics and problems associated.

We would need a very good reason to go down there, put it that way.

I wanna add a few words about the Ingenuity helicopter. Mars helicopter pushes its Red Planet limits. The rotorcraft completed its 9th and most challenging flight yet, flying for 166.4 seconds at a speed of 5 m/s. Take a look at this shot of Ingenuity’s shadow captured with its navigation camera.

NASA`s official Instagram published the latest pictures from the red planet made by Ingenuity helicopter. The helicopter provided new insight into where different rock layers begin and end. Each layer can give scientists an understanding of how the ancient climate changed. www.instagram.com...
