A video of the flight of the helicopter has been shot with NASA’s Perception Rover’s High Definition Mastcam-Z camera. In this video, dust can be seen flying during takeoff.
NASA’s helicopter took off on Mars. NASA
Last week, NASA created a new history. This was the first time that the US space agency successfully flew a helicopter to another planet. NASA’s small helicopter Ingenuity took off on 19 April. This helicopter reached Mars with NASA’s Perversance Rover. Now NASA has released a new video. In this video, this small helicopter is seen flying. (NASA Mars Ingenuity flight Video)
A video of the helicopter’s flight was shot using NASA’s Perversance Rover’s High Definition Mastcam-Z camera. In this video, dust can be seen flying during takeoff. In the video taken from the left, dust appears during the opening. Scientists will study the dust of Mars using this video. In an additional video, the countdown of the timer is also shown before the chopper flies and after that it is also seen counting while landing.
Dust in the Wind… on Mars. These enhanced side-by-side videos from @NASAPersevere‘s Mastcam-Z reveal plumes from #MarsHelicopter upon takeoff and landing. It helps us better understand the Martian wind, and how dust travels through the Red Planet’s atmosphere. pic.twitter.com/JtXBiqCgMW

Chance of life on mars
Scientists believe that there is every possibility of life on Mars. There is every possibility of life here under dusty soil. A team from Brown University has examined a rock that reached the Earth from the surface of Mars. According to the team, if this rock comes in contact with water, it can produce chemical energy. With this energy, micro-organisms can survive.
Oxygen on mars
Just a few days ago, NASA’s rover took carbon dioxide from the atmosphere of Mars and converted it into oxygen. This was the first time that this has been done on any other planet. It is believed that the dream of establishing a human settlement on Mars can be realized. To make oxygen on Mars, NASA has ‘Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment’ or MOXIE is a golden box of the size of a car’s battery.
This box uses electricity and chemistry to separate carbon dioxide molecules. MOXIE has prepared five grams of oxygen for the first time. This means that astronauts can breathe for 10 minutes with this much oxygen. According to NASA, oxygen can be made from this device until 20 minutes of breathing every hour.
