English: PIA24729: Proposed Mars Science Helicopter (Illustration)
https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA24729 This illustration shows a conceptual design of a Mars Science Helicopter, a proposed follow-on to NASA's Ingenuity Mars Helicopter. Researchers are considering how helicopters could be used in future missions. In addition to scouting, such a helicopter could carry science instruments to study terrain rovers can't reach. The proposed design is the product of collaboration between NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California, NASA's Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley, and AeroVironment, Inc. A helicopter with this particular design could carry 4.5 to 11 pounds (2-5 kilograms) of science payload. The Ingenuity Mars Helicopter was built by JPL, which also manages the technology demonstration project for NASA Headquarters. It is supported by NASA's Science, Aeronautics Research, and Space Technology mission directorates. NASA's Ames Research Center in California's Silicon Valley, and NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, provided significant flight performance analysis and technical assistance during Ingenuity's development. AeroVironment Inc., Qualcomm, and SolAero also provided design assistance and major vehicle components. Lockheed Martin Space designed and manufactured the Mars Helicopter Delivery System. Among others, this hexacopter design was published on page 5 of the 'Mars Science Helicopter: Conceptual Design of the Next Generation of Mars Rotorcraft' by Shannah Withrow-Maser, Wayne Johnson, Larry Young, Witold Koning, Winnie Kuang, Carlos Malpica from Ames Research Center and J. Balaram and Theodore Tzanetos from JPL/CalTech (2020) |
