    • Alex Siemers

      June 2, 2021 at 4:38 pm

      A drone changes attitude by adjusting the throttle on symmetrical propellers with static blades. Helicopters, as well as Ingenuity, adjust the blade angle of one or two propellers to move around.

    I love how bare-bones designs for NASA rovers and other instruments and now vehicles are. You watch sci-fi movies and TV and you see high-end designs with sleek curves, clean white shells… like you’d expect a new iPhone to look like. But in reality, Ingenuity is basically a box made of gold foil with 2 carbon fiber rotors, 4 kickstand legs, and a small solar panel with a tiny antenna for comms.

      @The Junior YouTuber Rather so they don’t contaminate the probe with dust, water droplets or whatever else might damage sensitive parts. It’s standard procedure for building regular satellites too.

    • Joseph Kernan

      June 15, 2021 at 4:53 am

      The real reason they have to wear suits is because they don’t want to contaminate the drone/probe with meterial that could damage the eletrical box in the center. But, the most importannt reason is because they don’t want to contaminate Perseverance itself. Perseverance’s main mission is to find life on mars. But if a bit of dead skin or water get’s within it’ sensor, it could contaminate the rover’s life-finding parts.

      But… it is. Even though the atmospheric pressure and thickness is a lot lower than on Earth, with enough prescion of roll and yaw plus really fast spinning blades, the drone would be able to fly.

      @Joseph Kernan the lift formula disagrees with you .
      Go watch “drone in a vacuum ” .

      @Joseph Kernan there’s not enough air density to push against .
      You can spin as hard and fast as you like , without a dense enough atmosphere to push against , you’re not going anywhere .
      Nasa lies .

      @✅ Actually, propelled flight is possible in any type of atmosphere. Depending on how thick or thin the atmosphere is, it might take as little as 500 rpm to as much as 2400 rpm. But, if there’s an atmosphere, that atmsophere can give lift to the heli/drone if the drone/heli blades are moving fast enough. But I do like your take on this subject. Have a good morning!

      @Joseph Kernan Mars .088 PSI .
      Laws of physics say impossible.
      Grab the formula, and do the math .
      Lift is the result of a pressure difference. Density is a variable.
      No pressure , no lift , regardless of rpm .
      Earth 14.7 psi .
      Helical flight is impossible on earth @ 4.481 PSI , about the height of Everest .
      Mars .088psi fails the lift formula , even at 38% of Earths gravity .

    It’s not as big of an achievement once you understand that NASA is lying to you and their excessive happiness and laughter is not excitement about their helicopter (666 gematria) but mockery directed at those gullible enough to believe it

      It’s recommended by the CDC. Provides better filtration because it doubles the layers of material that virus-containing respiratory droplets have to travel through before reaching your face and mouth.

    It kind of seems like to me there would be no reason to account for less gravity because it would just fly with more force… But then again I’m not a NASA scientist so good on them for that.

      Gravity means how much an object would weigh. How much downward force its exerting. It would’ve been far more challenging if the gravity of Mars was the same. The blades would have to spin much faster.

    So why is it so difficult for people to fathom that other intelligences could send similar probes to study earth?

    They are known as UFOs.

For a long time, the conveyor belt of ideas moved from the West to the East, says business strategy expert Neeraj Aggarwal. But now, Asia’s rising cultural and intellectual influence is redefining this established order. He explores how Asia’s booming culture and economy — from K-pop to cutting-edge tech — is sparking creative solutions to global challenges and reshaping the future in unexpected ways.
