A helicopter flew from Earth to another planet
For the first time
Houston. US space agency NASA made history on 19 April 2021. NASA first flew a helicopter from Earth to the sky of another planet at around 4 pm. The name of this helicopter is Engenuti chopper. It was earlier decided that the first flight would take place on 11 April, but it was postponed to 14 April.
NASA has said that the timer was not working properly during the test flight of the helicopter, so the flight had to be postponed. This photo is taken from the onboard camera of the Engenuti helicopter. The surface of Mars and the shadow of the helicopter are seen below.
NASA said that due to a timer fault, the arrangement of getting from pre-flight mode to flight mode was a bit messy. The Engenuti helicopter is completely safe and in contact with the earth. The watchdog timer put in it was not taking commands from the earth properly. Due to which the flight sequence command was slowed down. Therefore, the date of April 19 was fixed by fixing it. In the red circle, the Mars helicopter is seen flying about 3 meters above the surface of Mars. This picture was taken by Mars Perseverance Rover from afar.
Let us tell you that the engineered helicopter, which was sent under the belly of Mars Perseverance Rover, was landed on the surface of Mars on 5 April. Whether or not this helicopter can use rotorcraft technology on the surface of Mars and the atmosphere there. The 19 April flight was an experimental flight. From this it was necessary to find out whether we could fly helicopters to another planet.
The rover left the engineer helicopter four inches above the ground. The rover moved forward as the helicopter fell to the surface. The 1.8-kg engineered chopper protected the Perseverance Rover inside a cover in the belly above its bottom wheels. The cover was removed on 21 March. NASA wrote on the Twitter handle that a bird flying through the belly of this rover will soon emerge. This will open new avenues.
