NASA’s helicopter can fly on Monday. NASA
NASA is ready to create history once again. NASA’s helicopter (Ingenuity) on Mars was also struggling with technical problems after facing severe cold. But now it has been corrected. According to NASA, this helicopter can take a historic flight on Monday after a delay of one week. This is the first time that a helicopter will fly on another planet. Because of this, the eyes of the entire world are fixed on it. (NASA Ingenuity Mars helicopter could make first flight on monday on red planet)
However, pictures and videos of this helicopter flying like a rover will not be seen immediately. Because of this, NASA will have to wait to know whether its mission was successful or not. The California-based team will get its first data on Monday. It will also be streamed live on NASA’s website. Earlier this flight was supposed to be filled on 11 April, but due to some technical problems, it could not be done.

Success rests on this thing
According to NASA, the team watching the helicopter has also updated its software. It has passed the rapid spin test. Now the journey ahead will have to be decided on its own, that too without any help from the earth. Right now it is in perfect condition and working properly. NASA says that if the helicopter is successful in taking off and moving for some distance, then the chances of success can be up to 90 percent. If it lands successfully, four more flights will be tested.
Why the need of helicopter arose
Actually, many surfaces of Mars are still unseen and they are quite bumpy. The orbiter in the orbit of Mars can be seen only to a extent, while the rover is also not possible to reach every surface. This is why a helicopter or rotorcraft is needed, which can take high quality pictures even in difficult places.
