The “Ingenuity Mars” helicopter researched and manufactured by the US Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA) jet propulsion research institute was separated from the abdomen of the “Perseverance” Mars probe on the 4th and went through a 10cm descent process. Landing on the surface of Mars is successful, according to the Jet Propulsion Research Institute’s announcement that the “Ingenuity” is the fastest, and will make its first flight from the surface of Mars on the 11th, and the figures will be transmitted to Earth on April 12th.
On the 11th, the first pre-flight jet propulsion research center is scheduled to conduct a series of experiments, and “Persurance” can be observed that the Mars probe is installed at a distance of 5 meters from the UAV within a safe distance.
When “Insertion” completes all preparations for the first flight, “Personal Service” receives the final flight command from the controller of the Jet Propulsion Research Institute and delivers it to “Insurance”.
“Indigenous Newity” rotates 2537 times per minute 3m above the surface of Mars, and if there is no problem as a result of the final self-test, it will fly immediately. It flies at 1m per second and rotates for 30 seconds when it is 3 meters away from the surface of Mars. After that, the Mars helicopter descends and lands on the surface of Mars.
A few hours after the first flight, “Personality” transmits the first work values of “Insertion”, which determine the success of the Mars helicopter’s first flight test. If everything goes well, the next Martian Day (the 31st of Earth), Ingenuity will take a series of test flights in Craters as an example.
