(ORDO NEWS) — This time, NASA has released a really beautiful piece of news from Mars. A photo of dawn was posted on the website. Made by Ingenuity small space helicopter.
This helicopter is a companion to the Perseverance rover. Initially, it was created in order to check whether the aircraft could fly in the thin Martian atmosphere.
Convinced that this is real, the helicopter began to be launched to take photos and videos from the sky. It also helps coordinate the work of the rover.
The latest images sent to NASA from Mars are stunning in their beauty. We all know about the beauty of earthly dawns. Now it became clear that Martian ones are not worse.
It is known that Ingenuity has already made almost 50 successful flights. During the last one, he flew a distance of 500 meters. It is mainly used to search for signs of life and to study the Lake crater.
The rover and the helicopter arrived on the Red Planet in 2021 and since then have been actively helping to explore the surface of Mars, collecting soil samples, and taking pictures.
This will help with colonization in the future.
Scientists say that due to the great distance between Earth and Mars, communication with Ingenuity and Perseverance may be delayed for 5-20 minutes.
Everything depends on the position of the planets. The aircraft will take off into the sky and land on its own.
It should be noted that the picture was taken by accident. When the researchers received it, they were pleasantly surprised. Just imagine, what was the chance to catch the dawn on Mars on camera?
But it happened and now we can all observe the aesthetics of the sunrise on the Red Planet. And let it not help in colonization, but the sight is truly breathtaking.
