What video topic would you like us to cover next?
Upcoming space missions
Can we something on Jupiter? Plus future Moon bases and the magnetic fields around earth (deep dive) Thanks
Question: Will the new Mars Drone, get a LIDAR?
Are there in place some metallurgy demonstration contraptions for the future Mars missions? Or construction site machinery sized up for rocket lift capability for the same purpose?
It would be appreciated if you write the measuring units into metric system as well as imperial, i.e. feet/meters - gallons/litres et cetera. Great production none the less!
Having just received the Perseverance & Ingenuity LEGO set for Christmas, this was a very well-timed introspective on the only-slightly-less-plastic version. Great work on the video and contextual research, as always!
1:09 The Mars launch windows are usually not during the nearest approach of Mars, but when a Hohmann transfer orbit from Earth will achieve a later intercept with Mars. The "closeness" of Mars to Earth is much less important than minimizing the angular difference between the plane of Earth's orbit and the plane of Mars' orbit for the Hohmann transfer orbit.
Ingenuity might be able to last longer if the solar cells were integrated onto the top surface of the rotors, and a dedicated battery % reserved for removing dust by rotation to recharge.
Thank You for putting so much effort in these video ❤❤
I have to say: BRILLIANT! Sorry, couldn’t help it! Both the video and NASA’s accomplishments. Summarized like this, you can see the logic and the success of their program. Thank you!
Good job, like ur videos
Thanks. Appreciate the work you put into this!
I would like if we can also work on a more "mass production" of groups of cooperating smaller simpler rovers Using the original airbag method, utilizing a higher capacity communication system multiple programs, managed universities
This channel is great, love your work!
Very nice overview, well done
Very well put together!
Agreed.
Love your channel dude ❤
I really like the content and how you present the videos. But it'd be good to have all measurements in Metric system as well, not only Imperial system. At least written in the screen. The majority of the world uses metric system instead of imperial.
Great video...👍
What a nice docu!

I think dragonflies future is up in the air due to the budget constraints coming down again. I'm afraid that they may not get the chance to fly the thing if things keep going the way they are.
3:00 The animation of the wheel support on the Sojourner Rover is off/wrong. It shows the middle wheel support being able to move independent of the wheel to it's left when in fact they are on the same support that is one piece and that pivots at the point that you have it split. I hope my poor use of English makes the mistake clear.
Awesome
The Viking landers were launched in August and September of 1975, not 1976. They arrived at Mars in 1976.
Hopefully a Mars helicopter rover will study some of the pits to lava tubes on Mars one day.
And coincidentally, I just read this morning that the little chopper crashed, damaging one of the rotors beyond use. Sad
11:22 - The maximum altitude of Ingenuity was primarily limited by it's relatively rudimentary avionics and cameras, along with the approximately 2 minute long flight-time. Although it would probably have been possible to reach between 50 to 100 meters (150-300 ft.) of altitude, due to its simple cameras, the photos would most likely not be much better than satellite photos from the orbiters!
This may sound like a very juvenile question but seeing that “sea level”--aka on mars, ground level is the same as 87K feet on earth, hypothetically speaking, if we had the capability to excavate the mars surface to the negative level or 87K feet of mars soil removal, would the conditions be similar to or more similar to sea level on Earth ?? Like I said, it is totally impractical but I was just curious if this procedure would have any practical effect? Thank you and I apologize if this is a extremely absurd question
0:21 sojourner rover
All my best wishes for you my dear friends
I think you missed the overall calculus that went into approving the Ingenuity project: 1) Low mass 2) Low cost 3) High risk of failure 4) Very high benefit if it succeeds. If you've ever seen Ingenuity's operations room, this will help to understand: 1) Very low average age of occupants. 2) Looks like a repurposed conference room. It's more like a college engineering lab than a spaceflight center.
Heartwarming history of the flying robot: Ingenuity. I'll remember it as the first "Ingen" (for indian) on Mars. I think maybe the name "Fletch" , alluding to Indian's use of arrows to hunt and communicate, for a future Mars flying robot, would be appropriate. Some company should sell the indoor replica toy , right ? Maybe a helium balloon with 90% buoyancy and micro motors to drive the copter blades.
Rip little copter that could. May your air be calm.
I thought the biggest were golf cart size damn. Also rip ingenuity.
Haha the rocker bogie is a such a cool name
2:00 *ahem* Semi-minor nitpick: Pathfinder is one word, not two.
R.I.P. Ingenuity
This video is just so unfortunately badly timed
R.I.P. little buddy
It Crashed. Its Propeller was damaged and she will never take off again. RIP Ingenuity! 2020-2024
What I don't understand is why drop the samples? Why not just keep them onboard for future missions that go directly to where Perseverance will be and get the collected samples and send them home, rather than hunt for probably buried samples that it dropped.
I've been wondering that myself. The rovers must already have room for the samples, since all of the empty containers had to come from somewhere, so why not just put them back?
@@BrightBlueJimit’s so that if the rover malfunctions and somehow locks the samples inside the majority of samples are outside
And you think that's more risky than samples being blown across the surface of Mars, unprotected?
This video is partially incorrect. 10 samples have been dropped in the event that the (I think like 20) samples on board perseverance don't make it for whatever reason over the coming years. But it stores the majority on board it will in theory deliver them to whatever is sent to bring them off Mars
Greetings intelligent American's and it's seems to me the enormous wheels to traverse the enormous rock and that's the theory to the attitude.
If people are NOT on Mars or Venus yet…I think living in Venus’s atmosphere would be a better first colonization besides the earths moon. Why is the atmosphere is possible more dangerous than Mars is possibly..insert possible to many things on this subject. ..so yea the Venus atmosphere area has more temperatures closer to easily adapting to..there’s many types of energy easily accessible including more solar potential..atmospheric resources..& resources of heat the closer to the planet that is reached….learning how to be on a hot surface would probably be attained and by doing so huge advances in many technologies….finally being able to at least have equipment functional for long durations on the hot surface would enable us to use the resources to make things that could potentially lead us to going anywhere. Just the heat and light resources on orbit in the upper atmosphere could be so adaptable compared to needing to build buildings ….&/or tunnels…I forget if water is probably there but I think so ..since I remember a program about Venus saying we could make fuel…liquid fuel…so I think water is probably in the upper atmosphere eliminating the need to drill and processing soil its there. Plus the trip can be done faster….more often….& I wouldn’t be surprised if technology at least temporarily become able to get to Mars faster…at some point. Lots of other things I haven’t mentioned also…yea Venus is no walk in the park…it’s difficult on the surface…probably…& lots more. Big picture I don’t know why few cover going to Venues to stay before Mars.
Imagine a rolling ball/sphere with a camera inside
The main problem with a rolling ball is that they are very limited in the slope they can climb, and also can accidentally roll into places they have no way to get out of.
NASA needs to send a big 6 legged walking rover. (Look up walking tree logging machines to get an idea)
Ingenuity is much bigger than I realized.
Rover? Title should say helicopter, no? Or Perseverance rover?
Ingenuity rover 💀💀
tbf i think any rc hobbyist could of built such a thing for a fraction of the price from ali express :)
lol idk nasa guys basically pioneered the rc stuff you cant use any plastic and everything has to be designed to survive in a vacuum
Because drones.
I got board of NASA lander and rovers doing something over and over again like a blind feeling each step forward. so I told them to use their head and have scout for their lander and rovers. just like our ( PRIME MAGI ) visitor. they use 200 probe on each transponder craft. each probe has a three colour laser torch and autonomous drive link to transponder's main brain. probe scout for transponder next point to focus. also told them the type of scout for different terrain. that prompt them to come up with some which helicopter was one. NASA need brain to do real science efficiently.
when Starship is fully operational and reliable like falcon 9...elon might yeet an army of Tesla Optimus on the red planet 😂
The rover Perseverance's main purpose is to collect samples from Mars, but NASA doesn't have a way to fly the samples from Mars.
why don't send humanoid robo threre no
I guess I've never looked so close at the Sojourner Rover before. Is that just wood making up the lower body? Lol Move over aerospace engineers, let the carpenters lead us to the final frontier!
Ingenuity HELICOPTER, not rover
With flying over all the land. I think we will miss a lot. In a way we need more tools. Not just the same tools in different tool box. NASA needs to send a big mix team. Like A Car, A Flying machine, and a human bot. Also need a faster way and / or better way to communicate.
I agree with you on the types of things they need to send. They need to load up a Starship with a fuel generation plant and whatever is left of its 100 metric ton payload made up of fleets of scientific probes, drones and robots. Land, deploy the fuel generation plant, deploy the various probes, drones and robots. When the fuel tanks are full, recall the fleet, move to a new location and do it all again. And again. And...
They use light as the medium for communication. Do you mean better communication like more bandwidth that can send videos?
@@frankmcgowan9457I think the payload capacity in starship v2 will be around 175 MT.
But when will NASA send a Cybertruck rover to Mars?
On god
That’d be a bad ass promo for the cyber truck.
NASA will not send a Cybertruck to Mars. SpaceX might.
Good idea/call
Never thankfully
Why do I keep hearing people refer to Martian regolith as soil? There is no organic component to the material on Mars. It’s not made from decayed organisms. It’s regolith.
how about dirt
69 flights now 😎
Ingenuity isn’t a rover though.
Yes! An autonomous Cybertruck on Mars, loaded with Boring Co. drilling equipment to excavate caves in which the first colonists will live on the Red Planet. But seriously, a fascinating, informative, and otherwise well-done video ...
“unlocking the universe?” ummm…after that remark it’s really hard to continue watching.
54 years pass... why nasa never send even once rover like japan ( go back ) to " APOLLO LANDING SITE ? "
because it depends what you are looking for we have learned that there is likely nothing of value on the moon and we know there was definitely no life on the moon the prospects on mars are much more exciting and groundbreaking.
Oh oh, is the real reason why NASA made the Ingenuilty rover so they could send it to Mars? :D
Could you add metric equivalents in your videos? It gets tiresome to have to translate mentally "87,000 feet" etc. And as non-metric units have not been too kind to Mars robotic exploration in the past, it would really make sense here.
Interesting show...mostly for Americans only...😓
why does the title say "rover" and show a rover if its a helicopter pretty sure a helicopter on the thumbnail and title would give you more views
Thumbnail is of the rover
@@ericv738 yes that’s what i’m complaining about
🌭
First here
no one cares
Poeple think the will lives in mars 😂😂😂 beg lie,we born in earth and we will die in earth.
While china got their rover to mars and it died just a few months later 😂😂
Nah a helicopter drone is NOT a rover. Get that straight or don’t post about mars helicopters again
I don't understand why the propellers don't have solar panels in them. Dust isn't going to stick while running and a couple of twitches would clear them when landed.
Fossils are all over every inch of earth. Why would someone think theat wouldn't be the case on Mars if their was life in the past
they arent all over earth there is a lot yes but you likely wont find any in your backyard and we have basically explored not much more than a few backyards worth of space on mars. We also really havent done any excavation when has a fossil been found laying right on the surface on earth? that is quite rare. There is also the possibility that life never evolved into types that would leave a fossil even on earth much of what existed is lost to us as there is no fossil record of it. Fossilization in and of itself is a very specific set of circumstances.
