Hello fellow drone pilots and / or space nerds.

NASA launched the Perseverance rover mission to Mars today (30 July 2020).


A unique part of the payload is the drone named Ingenuity, that may be deployed if all goes well in February of 2021. ?



Set your calendar folks as this may be the first "drone" to fly on another planet. :) ? ☮
 
Very cool news Spark 317. Exciting possibilities. Sure hope we don't contaminate Mars with Covid 19. :oops:, :D .
When I watched the second clip of the Mars Helicopter lifting off the ground I somehow expected to see tentoes face to appear as it panned up.
 
Ingenuity, technological experiment, prepares to make the first controlled flight on the Red Planet.
Ingenuity is a drone in the form of a helicopter to explore Mars. Preservance will very soon reach the surface of Mars.
On February 18, when the landing takes place, we will already be able to observe the results of a 6-year development of a drone for flights on Mars.
It was believed that this was a hopeless project.
But the engineers managed to achieve good results in tests on Earth. What do you think of this drone?
