It was already impressive when NASA's Mars Honor Orbiter (MRO) succeeded in presenting firmness Rover soon after landing on the Martian surface last year.
Now the orbiter's powerful high resolution imaging experiment (Hirise) camera has somehow excluded the Plukki Traveling partner of firmness, The ingenuity helicopter.
Slightly more than a set of a small metal boxes and four-foot long blades, simplicity is less than car-shaped rover, and therefore is very difficult to spot from high.
But in the recently released image below, we can exclude a drone -like flying machine about 180 miles below the orbiter.
After reaching Mars in February 2021, and two months later, after taking a flight of her historic woman, she became the first aircraft to operate and control a controlled flight on another planet, simplicity went to complete another 22 flights, with more line. To date, its longest single trip included flight of over 631 meters, while its flight time is a record 169.5 seconds.
More air missions have been planned for simplicity as NASA has used helicopters to help the explorations of firmness, while at the same time engineers have to collect data to help the engineers develop the next generation Mars drone.
At a distance of two hundred meters in the east of simplicity, perseverance can be more easily identified in this hirris image.
According to NASA, firmness is shown on a fragmented basis of the formation of maz formation, a characteristic that is considered to be the original igneous (volcanic). “The primary science goal is the Delta Deposit thought that it was formed billions of years before the sediment that an ancient river had taken once, it is still several kilometers in the north,” the agency Said In a report on your website.
Persema is searching for martian surface for evidence of ancient microbial life, and also collecting rock samples to return to Earth in the latter mission. It is also expected that other discoveries made by Rover will help NASA a better plan for the first crew mission on Mars, although no firm's date has been fixed yet for that special effort.
