The Ingenuity helicopter took off without a hitch in the changing Martian air as it finished its fifteenth trip on the Red Planet. The quadcopter stayed airborne for 128.8 seconds before arriving back at the Wright Brothers Field at the Octavia E. Head servant landing site on the outside world.
The helicopter will currently join the Perseverance wanderer in the trip north along the east edge of Séítah, before heading out west to arrive at the Jezero old waterway delta. The wanderer is trundling in the Jazero cavity on Mars gathering tests to be gotten back to Earth in later missions. The couple is on the cold world, scouring for indications of old microbial life in the cavity accepted to be the site of an antiquated lake.
Inventiveness’ flight regulators on Earth are arranging a progression of four to seven trips to help the wanderer in its inquiry alongside setting up a flight programming update for the helicopter, which will conceivably empower new route capacities installed. “The Helicopter effectively finished its fifteenth trip on Mars. It flew for 128.8 seconds. Starter restriction places us inside our designated landing zone. Inventiveness sharply took pictures of science interest and they’ll be handled soon,” The Jet Propulsion Laboratory that flies the helicopter said in a tweet.
The wanderer has effectively changed its rotor speed to handle difficulties rising out of low air thickness in Martian summer. The adjustment of climate conditions on the adjoining planet required the helicopter’s rotors to turn at an alternate rate. Specialists had tried the high-velocity rotors turn on September 15, pivoting the edges at 2,800 rpm on the ground.
Inventiveness’ engines turned the rotors up to 2,800 rpm, momentarily held that speed, and afterward turned the rotors back down to a stop, all precisely as sequenced for the test. One of the main issues was the reverberation that would be made because of the expanded turning rate causing vibrations on the machine’s design. “Luckily, the information from the fast twist showed no resonances at the higher rotor rpm. The effective high-velocity turn was an interesting accomplishment for Ingenuity and gave us the go-ahead to continue to an experimental drill with a 2,700 rpm rotor speed,” JPL said in an assertion.
Resourcefulness pilots had before fled momentarily at the different take rate lifting it in air and bringing it back on the ground with insignificant development after Mars emerged from combination and association was restored with Earth. The short 23-second flight incorporated a pinnacle height of five meters over the ground level, with a little sideways interpretation of two meters to stay away from a close-by sand swell.
