Ingenuity

Ingenuity is NASA's small helicopter onboard the Mars rover, Curiosity. It is a lightweight, autonomous drone designed to fly in Mars’s thin atmosphere, helping scientists explore the planet's surface from above. Ingenuity uses rotor blades powered by sunlight and advanced sensors to navigate and perform test flights. Its main goal is to demonstrate flying capabilities on Mars, providing valuable data for future aerial exploration. Ingeniously combining robotics, aerodynamics, and remote control, Ingenuity has successfulfully completed multiple flights, paving the way for new ways to study planets beyond Earth efficiently and with minimal risk.
