Testing the Mars Helicopter Delivery System on NASA's Perseverance Rover 

Get one upped aliens

Its payback time

that bacteria is gonna have to be impressed when it grows up

Next version will draw enigmatic shapes on the sand!

Dontcha know? WE are the alien invaders!

Get out your binoculars and look at Mars. Bingo, aerial view; from really high up :-)

freggo So high up that you have to be on another planet!

@@N0616JCProductions Exactly :-)

@@freggo6604 yes, but actually no

Thanks for making the most obvious statement to this project 🤪🔨

@@buddingscientist170 WTF???

@@buddingscientist170 huh?

my two celled mind has been blown off by the level of intellectually you behold.

@@buddingscientist170 don't click this video it's called completely unrelated, so meting about Japanese trains

Yup.. Drone has to be in line of sight!!

You have to take that up with the marsian FAA.

They better have registered that with the FAA before it can fly on Mars or NASA is going to get a $227,000 fine

Colin Southern I dunno, that looks like it weighs more than 2 sticks of butter!

@@colinsouthern it's just a joke. We all know the FAA doesn't actually have jurisdiction on Mars.

They are missing out honestly

They will lie and then say "NASA is telling lies"

"this is just as real as real footage of tatooine"

@@bluebaconjake405 It is just inexplicable to me to see them wallowing in this denial while literally some of the most amazing things are being achieved.

@@krisdevalle And why would anybody on earth spend billions of $ and 1000's of hours to build a rover just for show and then not going to mars. But let's just apprechiate what we achieved and let their flat brain cells have a party.

The problem is Mars atmosphere is 1/3 of earths atmosphere. Flying ingenuity at 100 feet on Mars will require equal energy to that of flying it at 50,000 feet on earth.

@@rejuvenatingsoul3498 Nope, Mars has 1/3 of Earth's gravity. It has about 1% of Earth's atmosphere.

@@zlozlozlo u both are telling the truth, done.

Doesn't the helicopter have a piece of fabric on it from the original wright flyer?

They would not be able to get there at all without that precision. Flights are automated based on those calculations. Physics!

It's science!

because there are lesser variables that will affect the trajectory of the spacecraft in space. scientist and engineers calculated the trajectory orbit before launching the rover

They had to land on 18 February. They needed to land in a specific area of Jezero Crater at a time when the orbiting relay satellites could see both the landing site and earth. That meant 18 February at 15:43 EST. No matter when they launched the rover, it had to arrive at Mars to land at 15:43 EST on 18 February, so every single launch day had a slightly different trajectory to Mars to ensure that happened. Even more impressive when you look at it that way.

Those saying it's just science or physics as if it's so easy..not everyone can do that's why its still amazing the intelligence behind all this

I think the images are going to be underwhelming.. Isnt this for spotting a path for the rover to drive? I don't think we are going to get the lovely images we are used to seeing from other landers.. but its still going to be friking cool!!

Like like wait is over

Sure, that is a 'feature'.

Hopefully it doesn't somehow tip over on its missions. Wouldnt it be cool if the rover could pick it up if needed?

@@joeskee911 Maybe it can... We saw that the Helicopter has foldable legs. That way it may be able to sit upright after falling sideways, although we dont know whether it was design criteria or not.

@@subodhbadgujar51 I don't think it is able to be picked up by the rover as it was probably just a one way mechanism to put Ingenuity down. And Ingenuity wasn't probably designed to be picked up anyways since it was designed to experiment on flights around Mars and to scan paths for the rover so it can probably just land close to where the rover is planned to go. Also, the mechanism/process to put it down is already a challenge to the engineers yet alone picking it up. As what I've read that even an additional washer to the rover is already worthy of a debate to the engineers, yet they were able to let a helicopter hitch a ride on the most sophisticated Mars rover ever built.

Mega Raph the river has a robot arm that could probably be used to help it if it’s stuck... I imagine.

Did you watch the part of the video that Perseverance actually gives robotic birth, so yeah, Pereserance is a female that can give birth at -139 degrees and doesn't need any time to recover too?

@@02markcal yeah , we can say that it was first birth which happend in mars , altough it was robotic )

@@02markcal Guess it's time for some fan arts.

And trees!

speaking of drones, could it be used to clean the rover?

@@brightshadow39 From dust might be a yes !

@@MatthewDeveloper How far away from Opportunity is Perseverance?

Dust will clean it. Think of sand blasting lol. That is used to even remove paint.

I was convinced the buzzing was part of the music track until some dissonance kicked in.

I guess that's why I'm not musician.

That was my first thought... and behold, this comment. 😀

As a composer, I totally agree

Matthias Yanez i thought that it was the music

@@jeremyalexander9761 there

Jeremy Alexander not everyone is 80 like you silly guy

jdmasfuck Apollo tshirt would be the coolest,that mighty ole girl,the Saturn V.

flyingchimp12 Old people saw revolutionary bands,way cooler than us.

What other government agency other than NASA would people be willing to on their t-shirt? I guess the service branches. Can you imagine how cool a t-shirt saying “Housing and Urban Development” would be?

Martians will be like: look at that thing fly, life on mars is not yet extinct!... oh wait it's a machine LOL, ah those humans still didn't figure out anti gravity what inferior species.

Can't wait to see humans land on Mars... in 4K.

its a good reliable way to secure something to be unsecured later without exremely complex systems

Waiting for China to steal the intellectual property and ship a cloned drone on a container ship....

Have fun with a few seconds of flight lol

30th March 2021, fingers crossed.

There's only a 12% chance of it being launched in March 2021.

Us? You typing us implies your working on it

James web project is a failure NASA knows it the thing have to do way too many things after launch an they can't get it to work it's too fragile

@@trondialsingh594 James Webb is taking so long because of how many new things that need to be developed for it to work. It probably will be launched a few years

The media are on it! No problem, there 😛

Pretty sure people with engineering degrees can figure out that flaw.

@@TimTams_64 🤣

I bet the rover operators could use the arm to flip the done back on its feet

Flat Mars?

Koray Gun oh snap!

They probably think it's just some deserted place in Nevada somewhere...

Chadx M how many times has spaceX sent stuff to mars?

@@jb76489 so far: zero. I guess they are focusing on Starship (which will probably be tested by going to the Moon first).

Wouldn't the Curiosity skycrane fit this description? It flew around AND delivered a car-sized rover to the ground. However, Ingenuity will be the first one to take off from martian soil which will be awesome :)

@@SaliusenEx It didn't take off, nor did it use propellers.

They’ve done it!!

whopperlover17 Fantastic isn't it? The footage of the landing was exquisite! I can't wait for any video or footage from the mini chopper, that should be insane if all goes well 🙂👌

Happy birthday

The rover will definitely have a solution for that

Good point, but if rover is parked over it, its some kind of protection.

It won't really matter as it's more of a short term object so they don't have to protect against dust storms

@@Helloverlord good answer...

It can't fly at 40,000 ft on earth, but it can fly on mars. The difference is gravity, mars has less gravity to fights against.

The really cool part is that the helicopter is a technology demonstrator for Titan drone!

This has nothing to do with Space X it isn't even a Space X launch vehicle

This has literally nothing to do with SpaceX.

No more nude sunbathing on Mars. The Martians will be saying "Since those Earth people arrived you can't even get a bit of privacy in your own crater..."
