The “intelligent” helicopter must return even faster

Washington. The Martian helicopter “intelligent” will have to turn its rotor blades even faster in the future. The US space agency NASA has announced that the mini helicopter will have to rotate its rotor blades even faster and stay in the air as the atmosphere of the red planet becomes thinner in the coming weeks.

Nothing like this has been tested on earth, as the purpose of “intelligence” (in German, for example: ingenuity) was originally planned for only about 30 days. During the helicopter’s next Mars flights, the rapid rotation of the rotor blades will be carefully attempted first.

“Intelligence”: Dangerous maneuver on Mars

During its 13th flight, NASA announced on Friday that the helicopter had taken a three-dimensional photo of Mars with a diameter of about 10 meters.

“Tact” At the end of February the rover “Perseverance” (German: tolerance) landed on Mars with a dangerous maneuver. It first took off in mid-April, making it the first aircraft to fly to another planet. The mission of the helicopter was extended indefinitely.
