NASA's Mars Ingenuity space helicopter is now ready for bigger missions, as the small spacecraft has passed its initial testing and 30 days of existence with the space agency before it is supposed to be discarded. However, worry not, NASA's Mars helicopter would not be discarded just like that, as it would continue with scientific exploration for the human race.
Initially, NASA's Mars Ingenuity space helicopter was supposed to be abandoned after its initial testing process and after having discovered that controlled and powered air flight is possible on the planet. The "30 days of Ingenuity" has now ended, but instead of abandoning or throwing away the helicopter, it would be used for further explorations.
This is because of its outstanding performance when it was initially used by the space agency, alongside its healthy and well-maintained parts that would still be an asset for NASA in exploring the planet. This, alongside the Perseverance rover, would prove to be beneficial sources of information, in getting to know Mars.
