NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter: Attempting the First Powered Flight on Mars
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 лип 2020
- NASA's Ingenuity Mars Helicopter will make history's first attempt at powered flight on another planet next spring. It is riding with the agency's next mission to Mars (the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover) as it launches from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station later this summer. Perseverance, with Ingenuity attached to its belly, will land on Mars February 18, 2021.
As a technology demonstration, Ingenuity is testing a new capability for the first time: showing controlled flight is possible in the very thin Martian atmosphere. If successful, Ingenuity could lead to an aerial dimension to space exploration, aiding both robots and humans in the future.

Amazing. I would give anything to be alive 4 or 500 years from now to see the advancements that we've made
Its imp0sibal yar ..every one have to taste death ...and know a days you know a man's life is just 50 year m0stly ..
If you were born 100 years from now that could have probably happened. Imagine we were born in the last period before that become a reality. Talk about luck.
Being alive in 4 years from now is quite a realistic goal to be honest.
We'll no doubt make insane advancements in the next few years.....who knows....
Its good collectively as human species that we're doing this. In personal perspective its sad that we wont be able to even imagine what will humans do in next thousand years. Just like I guess Abe Lincoln never imagined landing on the moon or commenting on a phone with some people around the world in real time.
No so long ago we were just learning to fly, now we are attempting to do it again on another planet .
Looking forward to seeing that happening.
I wouldn't refer it that way since you have done literally nothing at all for this.
@@trr7fd but you didn't really do anything to achieve this tho
So many 40yos pretending to be 15yos around here... 🤣
@@Dubdsy 'we' as in the human race. Idiots.
I personally think with such an important endeavor I would suggest that this little guy be fitted with roll bars of some sort or something to upright it. The
Martian winds are very strong. God forbid it gets blown over. They could use a tripod configuration for the landing legs spaced further apart and use the weight of the missing fourth leg towards the roll bars.
Three legs are always better than four. I'm surprised their using four legs anyway.
I am 15, and extremely passionate about spaceflight. My dream is to become an Aerospace Engineer, in order to help humanity achieve so much more!
Maybe I'll even have the chance to fly up to space one day! While my friends play Minecraft and all that other stuff, I research, and study math and physics.
Good luck in your passion and stay in school
@@itsawidgeon Thank you!
Luckily, I am in Finland, where education is 100% free! I'll have no debt.
I may move to the US for lower taxes, and 3x the pay, though.
@@abcdefg4570 eh you win some and lose some
Abcdefg I’m 15 too bro, and I have the exact same dream as you! But unfortunately I am from pretty poor country where few care about space 😥
I have the same dream too! Hopefully we achieve it!
After 9 months after this video was created, it finally becomes reality. Congratulations to all the NASA and JPL and related contractors involved in makings history!!!
Projects like this reflect the good and admirable side of mankind. We can all look forward with excitement to seeing it successfully accomplished.
Actually mars based nuclear deterrent motivates this
West woodii. Extremely well said . Thank you! 🌍✨🚀
This reminds me of the Pathfinder expedition in 1997 with the robot car Sojourner, you are extremely expectant and hope the expedition succeeds and the landing goes well!
ItaloDiscoFreak77 It was precisely because of that achievement in 1997 that led me to become a commercial pilot today.
@ste emiplan Thank you for clearing that up. You can expect a phone call from Sweden any day now - you've been nominated for a Nobel prize in astrophysics.
It did...
I was born in 1949...have my fingers crossed in seeing the first explorers dotting the plains of Mars!.. Also been a HUGE science fiction fan since the latter 1950's- Mars!..YES!..
@@twilightzonezone7638 at what time and date will we watch the first klive attempt
Bob Balaram did his BTech from IIT Madras.
True inspiration !!
Oh wow
We india salute to a great indian😇
trump forget that without non white america will not be great! his campaign of making america great without non white is just a mirage in the desert!
We've done rovers before, but a drone is by far the most interesting frontier yet. Fantastic!
Let’s do this!
This is my favorite experiment in human history. Period.
You guys got this!! We can’t wait either!
I am awed. Keep watching it over again. Playing music in background. SO BEAUTIFUL! Thank you NASA... and the USA!
I knew you could do it ..... great work teams.... I'm so looking forward to the first footage from the copter cam. There are many new possibilities in front of us... behold the wonder .
When I think of what is great about America, I think "NASA".
And thats about it😂
AMEEEERRIIIICAAAA
I think of Never A Straight Answer
Sure. Built because of the talent of a network of universities that attract the best talent from around the world. One more Trump term and his hatred of immigrants, and it's dead.
@@AnexoRialto you are not wrong.
Spaceflight is so full and exciting now! Can't wait to follow the landing of Perseverance and see how the test flights of Ingenuity go!!! Rooting for you NASA!
❤️can’t wait to witness the liftoff of ingenuity from the surface of mars in 2021😍❤️ #nasa #ingenuity #perseverance #mars2020rover #ula
We persevere no matter what.
Keep it up keep it up 👍🏼 I’m ready
I will be watching for sure,.. can't wait.
I cant wait to see this. Its going to be awesome. Congrats NASA. 👏
only days away from it's first flight, looking good so far :)
Remember first step is always the hardest parts of life 🔥
So true.
And in life, those first steps may have to be repeated many times It's all good 🙃🙂
I am a huge fan of it and looking forward like a crazy landing of Perseverance in Feb, 2021.
so freaking excited!!
Is the first flight scheduled yet?
Will it be covered live?
I'm jealous of the guy who gets to say his job is flying a drone on Mars.
Well people will not be flying it, rather, it gets a set of instructions which it will then execute on its own. But, the sentiment is spot on! The engineers and scientists at NASA are amazing.
Maybe it’s a woman
Well, I heard that when the mars rovers(like opportunity) were being given commands on where to drive, it was a lot of pressure. So I'd probably stay away from doing that. But thanks to technology, we won't have to give it orders on where to go and exactly how.
@@Dsafenjoyer Yes, you are certainly right. They had to tell the rover exactly how to move and hope it didn't get stuck or veer off course due to debris or other complications. It was a very slow and deliberate process, but now machine learning will make it a much faster and smoother process!
Its a lot of people actually!
Wow! There are so many intelligent people at NASA. I'm blown away with this Mars helicopter, and the Perseverance! It amazes me!! So proud of NASA!
Wow it’s seems like very amazing & challenging mission. Best wishes to Nasa & JPL
Was there anything new in terms of blade geometry that needed to be done in order to help with lift or was it just RPM and number of blades?
Yeah the RPM is super high and the blades are carbon fiber. I also think they used dual counter-rotating blades because its more efficient t than one blade. If you want more detail check out Veritasium's video
@@corrick4339 Also, with only one rotor, something would be needed to stop the helicopter rotating in the opposite direction - helicopters use tail rotors - so counter-rotating rotors cancel each other's torque.
@@MarsFKA ahhhh yes you're right because it's not a drone its a helicopter
Would love if the rover could record a video (low resolution @ 25 FPS to keep size low) of this thing taking off on Mars.
2021 and still no video. Hmm
Hang in there guys! We are all with you!👍👍
honestly can’t wait!
Me: tries flying son’s drone, crashes into neighbor’s fence only 20’ away.
NASA: Hold our beers...
It's good to see an Indian, Chinese and American people work together on an interplanetary mission
@SpyingDutchman I'm just saying humans work together irrespective of their race and country when it comes to space missions. I'm happy that space missions bring people together
They are ALL Americans

What a talented and diverse team. This is what pushing the boundaries of science together is all about.
60 dislikes in 6 days, those flath-earthers are showing no signs of slowing down.

@ste emiplan
It is possible, because those far away stars that you see as points of light are much, MUCH brighter than the Sun. Some of those stars are HUNDRED OF THOUSAND times more luminous than the Sun, and that is the only reason why we see them in the first place.
There are thousands of stars around the Earth that we cannot see with our own eyes because they are too faint, so your argument makes no sense.
@ste emiplan oh btw do you just copy and paste something because all of your comments are the same and the same total bs
...or they don't like affirmative action.
may of disliked because they were clickbaited i too wanted to see the helicopter fly on mars i thought this video was it judging by the title but its not they just talking about it no live video of it doing so, so still wondering if it can fly or not.
Yeah ! Wonderful work. Keep it up.
Waiting for tmro's landing... Godspeed Perseverance 👍🔥🎉
Well, thanks youtube - from the title I thought I was going to see it actually fly on Mars.
👍 so do I 😏
You are!!!
in one or two weeks. they still search for the takeoff spot. But they cant move far with the rover or they risk hitting the drone on a rock and breaking it. Also the drone if successfull will provide good high resolution images of the surrounding area, helping the rover team plan the best course. We dont need wait too long for it now.
Beautiful people!!! I'm admire your skills, your knowledge!!! I'm great to think, we have such a beautiful , skilled people!!!
Yes, from India, Japan, Europe
Congratulations you did it ......
After nine months....
Bravo 👏👏👏
For long time we have seen those animated fpv videos, now this might be the first real time real picture of those.
It"s today!
JPL, please make a 20 min to 30 min technical video about the engineering of this machine.
They are not going to share secret technology to everyone.
@ste emiplan i feel bad for you
Good job all stuffs. Thanks for sharing these videoes
Congrats to NASA and everyone involved in this amazing future for our sons & daughters to see and perhaps live up to a new world one day. Thank you everyone 🙏
Legend helicopter mission...****Access from Earth to mars****
This is some Kerbal level awesomeness!
Looking forward to this.
So excited!
A billion dollar drone , I can get one downtown for fifty bucks.... just messing with ya! 😆
less than 1% of the atmospheric density...if you guys/gals can pull this off ill be very impressed and proud.
I'll be posting a video shortly about how exactly they have managed to do it!
Mars has a surface air pressure of 0.087psi. Helicopters now? Hahahahahaha!
Obviously this has been tested before in similar conditions.
@@truthvslibs2484 Obviously this has been tested before in similar conditions.
Actually it's less than 1/10th of 1%. Mars surface air pressure is 0.087psi. Earth surface air pressure is 14.7psi. In other words, impossible.
Not since the Lunar Rover have I been this excited. Good luck to the team. I have every confidence. "F U Mars".
This defiantly needs and deserves more funding.
I feel proud of nasa and also the indian chief engineer ❤️
Keep up the good work I’m 10 and I’m loved rocket science Nasa and spaceX are my favourite rocket 🚀 company’s but as always keep up the good work I love it for my education to make something new. What’s NASA’s next rocket 🚀 to go in to space the moon , mars? Please reply
qwe rty to go to the moon they are using Space Launch System or SLS
@@mateocruzat6903 I'm pretty sure, that SpaceX's Starship will dominate human flights to the Moon, and beyond.
So cool! Study as much science and math as you can, and you might just work at SpaceX or NASA after college! There are exciting times ahead! 💪 🚀 Also, is you like Space, you might enjoy Carl Sagan’s Cosmos! It’s a historical TV series, but the knowledge and perspectives it gives are more relevant than ever. I loved it so much when I was your age. You can find almost all the episodes on UA-cam. Just look it up. Welcome to the space community. 🤗 🌎
NASA isn't a company it's a government organisation
Jamie Walker its a government agency
I never realized rotary wing flight was possible in a such thin atmosphere! The "dramatic music" on the video is very appropriate.
highly technical, scientific breakthrough, such ingenuity, making history
and i'm just here laughing because the guy at 1:24 said "we doodoo on the ground" 😂
I hope Perseverance films Ingenuity's flights.
this is totally made up BS! NASA is a con show!
@@my5cents4u ikr. The earth is flat too, have you heard? It's incredible how people believe such bs as nasa, sheesh.
@@duckway4733 Bro he's the type of person to believe that
I have no doubt they WILL film it, and we'll all get to see it.
@@harleygould7255 they will film it in a local desert and Hollywood studio yeah! How is it that a helicopter can even lift on Mars with NO ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE??? It CAN NOT!!! If a helicopter can not climb to the heights of Mount Everest on Earth how the f*** would it work on Mars with 1% air pressure compared to on Earth? You idiots who believe this need to study some true physics and science! "The average surface pressure is only about 610 pascals (0.088 psi) which is less than 1% of the Earth's value" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_of_Mars

3:02 - the rocket with Russian (Soviet) engines named RD-180. It’s a pity that Russia got such a great heritage from the Soviet Union in space technologies, but now Russia is just loosing it and becoming an outsider :( I’m so sorry about that :(
Russian space program is nothing but only soyuz launches.
@@kryboard1723 say that again
@@arghya4NE that again
Yeah, it's a shame. The RD-180 is a wonderful piece of engineering, but the Russian space sector is really experiencing an era of stagnation now, especially with Rogozin in charge. Putin and his cronies just don't have any interest in civillian space travel, except when it can be used for propaganda purposes.
Remind me again of how astronauts have been getting to the ISS since 2011...
Though that could be changing now.
NASA YOU CAN DO IT
Cannot wait!
I mean I can... because I literally have to... but I am very excited for it!

THE ETHIMOLOG OF INGENUITY IS FROM LATIN, INGENUUS, WHICH MEANS NAIVE. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH AIR TO SUPPORT HELICOPTERS AND PARACHUTES ON MARS
Which is exactly why the rota blades have to spin faster than they would here on Earth to generate lift there. That's also the wrong Latin word. Ingenuity takes it's name from the word "Ingenium" for which the modern word would be "Engeneering"
@@AhrimanThorn Ingenium means intelligence and its synonyms, the fact is that, in my honest opinion, Ingenuity is much closer to Ingenuus. It might sound like genius, but it also might mean the exact opposite thing.
@@AhrimanThornanyway, blades rpm should be insane to sustain the thin atmosphere of Mars. I read a comment from an engineer who said it was impossible to make it fly unless we ve been lied about Mars gravity and atmosphere.
@@emme6907 Wow! You actually want to take what you read some nameless engineer state over the engineers who actually put rockets into space! And you believe if it does fly it might mean we have been lied to about Mars gravity and atmosphere! As for parachutes not working because there is not enough air again that is an utterly ridiculous statement to make given that parachutes were used to land Perseverance. (You can even see video footage from the lander of the parachutes opening) Yes the atmosphere is very thin but the parachutes were designed with this in mind and slowed the decent from 20,000km/h to just over 300km/h so clearly parachutes do work. I honestly don't even know where to start. In fact I won't. If you actually believe scientists are lying to us about the gravity and atmospheres of other planets then there really is no reason for anyone at all to engage with you in any intellectual debate at all. I mean seriously! Just what exactly do you think would be the motivation for lying about something like that!
Finally we can fly over the EUROPA!!! great job Nasa and the team!!!!
What great time to be alive!!
Complimenti ragazzi!! Siete fortissimi! Un saluto dai vostri fratelli d Italia 🇮🇹
If this was Elon Musk's bird, he would have pushed the "Helicopter Go" button ten minutes after landing.
Why not power it with microwaves? Then you could save the weight of the battery. As far as I understand it only has barely a minute of flight time.
Isn't most of the battery power used to keep the batteries from freezing over?
Where would it get the microwaves?
@@space6707 yeah
A microwave power transmitter/receiver would require a device on the helicopter to convert the microwaves into electricity & then it would STILL require batteries on the helicopter to store the generated electricity. The helicopter would also require an antennae to 'collect' the microwaves in the first place. All this would drain power off the Rover which isn't a good idea. This helicopter prototype technology tester is designed to self-power via a small solar panel above the blades for one flight a day.
Yes the groundstation will have a bigger battery and a bigger solar array as it does not have the same weight constraints. Wireless power transfer is proven technology and the drone reciever can be a thin wire tuned coil which weighs little. The rover sends a narrow beam with a tracking dish which when recieved is at over 80% efficiency as per Nasa's own Goldstone test. ua-cam.com/video/RNqEyfVrEug/v-deo.html
A receive battery is not required and motor power can be modulated by adjusting the transfer in real time. This configuration will allow increased operational effectiveness.
Good luck NASA, this mission could be a game changer! Fingers crossed 🤞
This is a start, bringing aviation to another planet, definitely have some potential here for the future
Smoke and mirrors
Silly conspiracy theorist
Conspiracy nutter
It didn't take long for a crackpot to weigh in on this. smh
This is what humanity needs right now. We need a space race. It brings humanity together for one goal.
The CGI video shows the blades spinning as if still on Earth. But the real footage in the low-pressure chamber show how fast they must spin on Mars. Just amazing.
God I can't wait to see the helicopter fly! NASA has done a great job, better than ever at inspiring people! This is as important as all the hardest bits of space flight and landing. Inspire future generations!! The first Mars astronoughts will be with us soon.....
Exiting times in space expeditions! !
A drone on mars... That is so cool and cant wait to see the results...

@@robert-brydson-1 bandwidth issues
This helicopter can't make photography or film. Your mission is just to fly.

Love those engineers
So exciting!!
July 30 - Isnt this launch date risky? what if there is a hurricane and launch is delayed before the aug deadline to launch to mars - we have to wait 2 more years?
How did you count for the gravity of Mars in the simulation?
Does the rover have a way to upright the copter if it tips over
This things awesome. Does anyone have any info how it gets protected from sand storms, strong wind ect?
You can't get strong wind in such a light atmosphere
weight being a problem on mars?? what help would be helium gas deridgable with helicopter aided blades and stability
It will be great to get overhead views of the mars station and the s.s.p.
NASA Mars Helicopter ingenuity is awesome 🇺🇸👑💕
Of course, what did you think? 😎👊
All the best to NASA🇺🇲 from India🇮🇳
Inspiring!
Thank you
Were they able to compensate for gravitational effect inside that chamber?
The fact that this helicopter flies at all is incredible - given that Mars has an atmosphere less than 1% of ours.
Does it? Your taking the word of someone else. What if they are wrong? I mean, if it is only 1%, how are the dust devils so strong? Only 1% , would they be that strong?🤔🤔🤔
@@woohoofromtexasharris4814 We've had instrumentation on Mars now for decades measuring things like that. Not that we even need those instruments. we can easily analyse the Martian atmosphere from earth by looking at spectroscopic effects. That gives us a quite reasonable approximation anyway.
The helicopter was designed for those conditions. I'm just impressed by the accomplishment.
Amazing achievement
