Because of its structure and properties, Mars is of great interest to scientists. By exploring this planet, we can learn a lot not only about space, but also about Earth and perhaps its future. That’s why it already works on Mars several machines sent by NASAwho explore the celestial body. However, this is not the last word from the American agency. They want to send a real flying vehicle there.
NASA will send a plane to Mars
Wiropłat ingenuity proved that it is possible to fly there despite the low density of the Martian atmosphere. The rotorcraft has already completed 72 successful flights, although the last one was not without problems. NASA plans to use the knowledge collected in this way to create a real flying vehiclethat could travel great distances under Martian conditions.
The machine was named MAGGIE (Mars Aerial and Ground Intelligent Explorer)The project is in a very early stage of development. However, the technical assumptions assume that the device will be capable of flying Up to 179 kilometers on a single charge. We would like to remind you that Ingenuity has flown a total of less than 18 kilometers so far. Furthermore, scientists believe that MAGGIE will win Up to 16,000 kilometers during a Martian yearor 24 Earth months.
The machine can take off up to a height of 1000 meters and will have three main tasks. The most important thing will be Help finding water. In the meantime, it will help understand the source of Mars’ magnetic field and search for traces of methane. It is still far too early to say when MAGGIE will reach Mars. However, it is safe to assume that this will not happen this decade.
