NASA robotic helicopter to take a spin on cold Mars
SCIENTISTS are going to attempt something in the next few weeks that no one has ever done. They’re going to fly a helicopter on Mars.
The robotic aircraft is named Ingenuity, and its core is about the size of a softball. For the past seven months, the.) Nasa has been exploring the surface of Mars with rovers for about 25 years, says Dave Lavery, a scientist and robotics expert at Nasa Headquarters in Washington. But no one has flown an aircraft on a planet other than Earth before.
