Pictures of the helicopter's flight were seen bursting into cheers after reaching the NASA control room. Weighing just 1.8 kg, the helicopter flew off the surface of Mars and landed successfully after 40 seconds. Scientists say that after testing the limitations of the Ingenuity drone's technology, they now want to fly it higher and farther.The drone was carried to Mars by NASA's Perseverance Rover. In February, this perseverance landed in the Jezero cavity on the surface of Mars.
Hopefully, such drones will make it much easier to observe the terrain and environment of Mars or any other planet from now on. "We can now say that humans have flown drones into the skies of another planet," said Mimi Aung, manager of the Ingenuity Project at a NASA laboratory in California."We've been discussing for a long time 'when the moment will come for the Wright brothers to fly their first plane in the sky of Mars'.
Wilbur and Orville Wright, two brothers, made history in 1903 with the first power-powered aircraft flying in the skies. He described it as such a historic moment. When a picture of the Ingenuity drone flying over Mars reached the NASA control room, Mimi Aung was heard to say behind the cheering staff: "That's the real truth!"
When the drone failed to fly, he wrote down his statement on a piece of paper that he would give a speech, and he happily tore it up. The picture shows the drone, which weighs just 1.8 kg from the chest of Mars, rises about 3 meters, the wings of the drone are seen to turn, the drone goes from side to side and after about 40 seconds, the drone successfully landed on Mars again.Enthusiastic NASA scientists say they will now be able to fly drones and collect vital information from the surface, cavities and walls of Mars.
This success opened the way for them to know Mars.
