Copter ingenuity of less than two kilograms landed on the surface of Mars. After being separated from the Perseverance Rover, he spent one night alone on the planet Veen. NASA scientists say this is a huge event in the history of human space missions.
This will be the first manned mission to a planet when Copter Ingenuity returns after landing on Mars. In a few days, the fan of this rotorcraft will turn again.
According to NASA, the helicopter has no connection with the rover now. He is charging his own battery from solar light. He is using that energy to keep his equipment running, to protect himself, especially when the surface temperature of Mars rises below 90 degrees Celsius.
The laws of physics say that it is almost impossible to fly to Mars. The reality is that a helicopter heavier than air is much more difficult to fly there, NASA said.
Ingenuity will go through several tests at this time. If all goes well, he will have time to return after April 11.
Ingenuity has taken a monument from Earth to Mars. This is a piece of cloth from the wings of the first plane made by the Wright Brothers. It is likely to return from the surface of Mars at a historic moment, if it is April 12. That day will mark the 60th anniversary of the first human mission in space. On this day in 1961, Soviet astronaut Yuri Gagarin became the first man to go into space.
