The Mars Helicopter, Ingenuity aims to make the first powered flight on another planet when it takes off on Mars. It has now landed and safely checked in with the rover. It should detach and fly within the first 30-60 days of the mission. I learned a lot getting to visit the drone right before it was mounted on the rover at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena.
How do you fly in 1% of Earth's atmosphere:
Have large rotors (they are 1.2m in diameter) and spin them very fast, around 2500 RPM (5x the speed of a helicopter on Earth).
Plus the aircraft has to be light:
The Mars helicopter weighs in at 1.8kg or around the same as a laptop. Every piece had to be stripped down for weight. Instead of using aerogel for insulation, the craft makes use of CO2 gaps between components. Even aerogel was too heavy!
One of the major challenges is surviving the Martian night:
Temperatures plunge to -80C to -100C so two thirds of the craft's power is actually used to keep its electronics warm. Only one third is used for flying. The estimated flight time is 90 seconds.
The craft can't be driven remotely, it will have to fly autonomously, using its own sensor suite to determine how to fly. The round trip 20 minute delay with Earth means steering the craft from mission control would be impossible.

Now that ingenuity's mission has ended and we have seen its amazing capabilities, it was great to come back here and be reminded of all the hopes we had for this little craft. It's kinda like seeing baby pictures. It was truly an amazing machine. I feel like I lost some kind of friend. Thank you, Derek, for being there to show us the early days.

Either I overlooked it and he did have text blurbs with their name and role included in the video (I have been known to be blind), or my comment was deleted and the text blurbs were added. Either way, I'm happy to see them there. Well all of them except Mimi Aung, the enthusiastic lead engineer at JPL who didn't get too many words in on this video. But you can see her talk about it in many other videos. Anyway congrats to the Ingenuity team for making it to Mars, you definitely live up to the Marscopters name , Let's Fly!

People use 24 “hour” local time clocks on other planets even when the day is not close to 24 hours (i.e., local day not equal to 86400 s). So 12:00 LT would be directly between the planet and the sun and 00:00 would be directly behind. Often when discussing Jupiter, for example, you’ll hear folks say that such and such phenomenon is seen at local noon, or in the dawn-dusk plane, etc. Sometimes we align this clock with the magnetic axis rather than the rotation axis and this is called magnetic local time, MLT.

@@jeffvader811 It's actually not as much fancy as it is precise. The helicopter has two main thrust "components" the lift provided by the collective and the tilt provided by the cyclical. So its important to differentiate the two. Because the cyclic is balanced in one dimension the helicopter moves only horizontal. He could have been slightly more precise by saying that while gravity pulls the aircraft down the deflection of the lift due to the tilt provides forward thrust. Further geometric translation has a definition. It means that all point of a shape are moving in the same direction. (not deforming or rotating). The only bit he left out is that you need the counter rotating blades to keep the fuselage from rotating.

Most pilots whose success in aviating is highly sensitive to atmospheric conditions work in terms of "local time", but do so more implicitly than explicitly. Hot air ballooning on the east side of the central time zone may occur at 6 AM, while hot air ballooning on the west side of the central time zone would happen more than an hour later, for example, due to lighting and possibly solar heating. For soaring pilots, such as sailplane pilots, one of the times to be concerned with is the time of peak solar heating, which is effectively an expression of local time.

Part of what makes it so loud is the straight blades, as they pass each other if opposite directions they create massive turbulence. That is why fans in things like your computer, your car engine and even the $10 desk fans at target have swept blades. and in the case of PC fans, the frame supports are curved in the opposite direction to reduce the noise even further.

@Saxamusprime Thanatos elNyx, seems like "because of the proliferation of American and British aircraft during the early years of aviation, and the explosion in aviation in the United States after World War II, the imperial foot became the international standard for altitude measurement. China (PRC), North Korea, and, until 2017, Russia (they’ve completed the transition to feet I have read; I haven’t actually been there and witnessed it, my firm has a private jet, and in 2013, they were metric still), however, use meters for altitude measurement."

I would have asked a couple of additional questions... 1. What are some of the future directions that this technology may be taken? Having a design that closes is a feat of ingenuity, having a design that scales down for multiple drones seems like a new worthwhile goal for the next generation design. The heating problem seems like an obvious new direction to explore - two thirds of the battery needed for heating seems like a big price to pay. With less battery required one might consider flying a more sophisticated payload (hyperspectral, lidar, or other exotic sensors). A rover with the task of keeping drones warm seems like it belongs in the trade space. 2. Even though there is a 20 minute control delay, what are some strategies to overcome this obstacle? Having multiple autonomous flights with each successive flight using information from previous flights seems like one obvious strategy. Having a fully autonomous "explore mode" that attempts to see terrain from multiple angles so that high fidelity 3D reconstruction can be done and used for detailed analyses and successive flights. The trade space here seems large and open for new innovations that would have applications here on earth.

That's space. Everything must be perfect for it to work. At least with current technology anyway, but in the future we will probably make more sturdier machines to take a lot more punishment.

wonder if it can right itself if it tips over. they will probably go slow and steady for a long time and never rip it like the animation.

@Sammy Spaniel - And yet, we weren't able to hear even an idea of dought from their mouths; I was boggled by that, too. It's not even sounding optimistically, they just don't leave room for error. Pretty intriguing way of going at a project.

@. Would you agree with this if this is still 1 on every 2000 people on earth? That is still a lot. And what also is still a lot is that of the viewers 1/2000 did not like this video, which in my turn I canNOT understand. Not at all! Perhaps it is a complain that it is in English 🤔

14:13 I see that there is a counterbalance blade. A long blade and a short at different pitches to counteract force. Very amazing.
