Ingenuity
NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter is the first aircraft humanity has sent to another planet to attempt powered, controlled flight. If its experimental flight test program succeeds, the data returned could benefit future explorations of the Red Planet – including those by astronauts – by adding the aerial dimension, which is not available today.
Ingenuity weighs about 1.8kg on Earth and about 0.68kg on Mars. It features four specially made carbon fiber blades arranged into two 1.2-meter-long counter-rotating rotors that spin at roughly 2,400 rpm. A solar array on top of the rotor system charges six lithium-ion batteries. The drone also has two cameras: One color with a horizon-facing view for terrain images and one black-and-white
for navigation.

Mars 2020: End of a Journey
After nearly 300 million miles (470 million km), NASA’s Perseverance rover completes its journey to Mars today. But, to reach the surface of the Red Planet, it has to survive the harrowing final phase known as Entry, Descent, and Landing.
Live coverage by NASA will begin at 19:15 UTC (in just over an hour) and Perseverance will enter the atmosphere at 20:48 UTC.

Perseverance has landed!
The rover has landed successfully as expected! The rover’s computer has switched from entry, descent, and landing mode to surface mode. This initiates a series of autonomous activities for the first Martian day on the surface of the Red Planet. Read more about those activities in the Article below, and check out our previous posts for more details on the mission.
