NASA is said to have been able to prove the small helicopters that they fly to Planet Mars.
Ironically, the helicopter is moved to the Red Planet in 2020 or 2021.
It was recited Mirror on Monday (1/4/2019), when it is determined from its shape, the helicopter is similar. drone as in the sky all the time we saw.
Although it is empty empty, the helicopter weight is only 1.8 kilograms. He was tested in a vacuum room NASA Propulsion Laboratory.
The role of the empty room is to provide oxygen, nitrogen and other gases such as carbon dioxide to provide the same conditions for Mars's atmosphere. In fact, the helicopter is able to withstand these extreme conditions.
This helicopter will be controlled by NASA from hundreds of thousands of miles away. Later, he also travels into the cold air in Mars with a temperature of 90 degrees Celsius.
"One of our challenges now is to change the atmosphere amongst Mars helicopters," said Teddy Tzanetos, a helicopter test executive.
"We want to create real changes that fly on Mars and make them feel quite different, remembering Mars's evacuation is weaker," he added.
NASA aims to remove its helicopter to Mars in 2020. Estimates are that the helicopter is landed on Mars on February 2021.
