Mars Helicopter is very interesting to discuss in this post, because this is the first vehicle that can fly on a planet that has extreme temperatures with an atmosphere filled with CO2. Extreme temperatures on Mars reach minus hundreds of degrees Celsius on other surfaces, and parts. Before Ingeunity was sent there, there was already a robot with four wheels that roamed the red planet, both of which were owned by the Nasa space agency. In the second mission is to explore to collect data and information about the planet Mars. From how ingeunity works, the information obtained, this Helicopter will collect information by flying around the Mars ceiling, taking photos of the planet's surface, as well as helping robots that are already there to collect samples from there.

Mars helicopters equipped with a variety of sophisticated sensor tools that can do mapping and overall data collection about the state of the mars, starting from the contour of the terrain, the state of temperature and humidity, gas content, and constituent materials of the planet obtained from the sample. The exploration will take a very long time, therefore to keep the community active, the Mars helicopter is equipped with a resource-generating reserve in the form of solar panels to power all electronic equipment and turn on the helicopter blades.

These illustrative pictures show us how ingeunity and robots that have previously been sent to Mars meet and this moment is like a meeting of brothers and sisters who have long been separated between planets. This mission is not directly called a humanitarian mission, because the purpose of the research carried out using Mars helicopters and four-wheeled robots is to look for signs of life such as microbes buried in the surface layer of Mars.

Mars is indeed covered by a red surface, there is no vegetation there, that's obvious. The surface is dominated by mounds such as the grand canyon and there is also a mountain which is one of the highest mountains in the solar system, namely Olympus Mounth.

Maybe as a tribute, we should thank the developers and those who are linked to the mission, because this is the first step in collecting data from planet Mars, which can later be used to transform the planet to be worthy of living in the next generation.

As seen above, a plate-shaped solar panel is installed above the ingeunity, and this is a source of energy needed by the vehicle in conducting exploration. This is a small helicopter that was made by one of the women who was entrusted by the Nasa space agency to make the community ride.
