Mars Helicopter

NASA's Ingenuity Mars helicopter has transmitted its final message to Earth and will now serve as an immobile data-gathering unit on the red planet's surface, the space agency said on Tuesday.

NASA said on Thursday its Mars robot helicopter Ingenuity, the first vehicle to achieve powered, controlled flight on another world, has been grounded for good after flying dozens of times over three years, ending a landmark mission that far exceeded

NASA has re-established contact with its tiny helicopter on Mars, the US space agency said Saturday, after an unexpected outage prompted fears that the hard-working craft had finally met its end.

NASA has lost contact with its tiny helicopter Ingenuity during the hard-working craft's 72nd flight, the space agency said.

Ingenuity was launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida on July 30, 2020, and landed onMars'Jezero Crater onFebruary 18, 2021.

US space agency NASA is flying an aircraft -- a helicopter capable of flying in alien atmosphere -- in Mars.

Long time, no speak: NASA has re-established contact with the intrepid Ingenuity Mars Helicopter after more than two months of radio silence, the space agency said Friday.

NASA is planning to launch two helicopters to collect 30 Martian rock samples and bring them back to Earth. The lander carrying helicopters is planned to launch in 2028 and land on Mars in mid-2030. Meanwhile, the Perseverance rover has so far collected 11 samples as part of its hunt for signatures of ancient life.

NASA's Ingenuity helicopter has completed record-breaking 25 flights in the tenuous atmosphere. When the tiny helicopter was sent to the one-way trip, engineers had only planned for five flights. However, Ingenuity has surpassed expectations and has taken over 25 flights.

NASA's Ingenuity helicopter, the first probe to ever fly on another planet, has captured images of the landing gear that helped it and its companion, the Perseverance rover, land on Mars in February 2021.

NASA team at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Southern California recently celebrated one year since its Ingenuity helicopter became the first aircraft to achieve controlled, powered flight on another planet.

NASA's Ingenuity Mars helicopter has soared through the Red Planet's skies for the 15th time. The chopper, which arrived on Mars attached to the belly of the Perseverance rover, landed within the targeted zone on the Martian surface, said NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), which manages the Ingenuity mission.

It was only supposed to fly five times. And yet NASA's helicopter on Mars, Ingenuity, has completed 12 flights and it isn't ready to retire.

China has developed a prototype miniature helicopter for surveillance work on future Mars missions, according to CNSA.
