The helicopters will scout the Martian surface to help prepare for a human landing on the Red Planet.
The otherworldly helicopter, with its 36 blades, is the size of an SUV—a major upgrade from Ingenuity's four blades.
The intrepid Mars helicopter broke down in January 2024, and the space agency now knows why.
We see what you did there, Percy, and we appreciate your filthy message from afar.
Ingenuity will never fly again, forever grounded on the Martian dunes, where it looks incredibly lonely.
The space agency is still trying to figure out what may have caused Ingenuity's mission-ending damage, leading to the proposed spin test.
It is difficult to emphasise the significance of the milestone surpassed by NASA's Mars helicopter, Ingenuity.
RIP, Ingenuity, the first craft to fly on another planet.
NASA has postponed the launch of its Dragonfly mission to Titan until 2028, with formal confirmation of the project not expected until later next year.
Previously, the Ingenuity helicopter ended its 53rd flight early due to an apparent glitch with its navigation camera.
It was a banner week for NASA's Perseverance. Let's rove down memory lane to fully appreciate the rover's current moment.
A hilly terrain on Mars stood between Ingenuity and Perseverance, interrupting their communication for over 60 days.
NASA announced an overhaul of its ambitious plan to bring samples of Mars to Earth.
An early prototype of the motorless sailplane took flight while tethered to a balloon.
Our favorite—and only—Martian rotorcraft’s inclinometer has stopped working.
These views from the helicopter's flight are unmatched.
Hours of audio indicate that the Red Planet stifles sound, especially lower frequency noises.
NASA's Perseverance rover waited and waited for its buddy's signal.
Ingenuity got an aerial view of the hardware that helped the Perseverance rover safely land on Mars.
The glow would be caused by the spinning rotor blades, which interact with the planet’s atmosphere.
