NASA(美国航空航天局) has plenty of experience in operating wheeled rovers(探测车) on Mars, but it's never tried to fly a helicopter on the red planet before. The helicopter, Ingenuity,will get a chance to make history in April by flying the Martian skies, but first it needs to be deli...
NASA’s Perseverance rover took this image of the Martian rock nicknamed “Rochette” on August 27, 2021, shortly after it abraded a circular patch known as “Bellegarde.” Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech During the solar conjunction period, the project’s science and engineering teams have had time...
Ingenuity’s first flight, seen in this video, showed that the helicopter could fly on Mars. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech. First in flight Perseverance may be a long way from Earth, but it has a sidekick. TheIngenuity helicopterdetached from the rover shortly after they landed on Mars ...
The rover's main assignment is to investigate whether its Gale Crater landing area has ever offered environmental conditions that are favorable for microbial life. To do that, itpacks a science payloadweighing 15 times as much as the science instruments on previous Mars rovers. ...
“Every time we turn the instrument on, there will be a worry in the back of your head that something is broken.” But sending a rover out to explore Mars is like sending your teenage kid out to drive, he says. He’ll worry every time he hands her the keys. But he also trusts ...
NASA’s Vandi Verma details the AI and software powering the Mars rovers and how her field of robotics operations has advanced over the past 20 years.

If Ingenuity succeeds, helicopters could soon become an important part of the Mars-exploration toolkit. "We could put sensors on them and use them as science platforms, and also as scouts," Jurczyk said. Aerial reconnaissance by rotorcraft could allow rovers to "drive more autonomously, and ...
Their evidence: images taken by NASA's Opportunity and Curiosity rovers as well as the agency's HiRISE high-resolution camera attached to the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. "Fungi thrive in radiation intense environments," the team writes in its paper. "Sequential photos document that fungus-like ...
traverse is about 15 miles long, an “epic journey” that will take years, Farley said. What scientists could discover about Mars, though, is worth the journey. To accomplish its goals, Perseverance will drive a little less than 0.1-miles per hour, three times faster than previous rovers. ...
