The Ingenuity Helicopter will be deployed from the Perseverance Rover for a 30-sol experimental campaign shortly after the rover lands and is commissioned. We describe the helicopter and the associated Technology Demonstration experiment it will conduct, as well as its role in informing future helicopter missions to Mars. This helicopter will demonstrate, for the first time, autonomous controlled flight of an aircraft in the Mars environment, thus opening up an aerial dimension to Mars exploration. The \(1.8~\text{kg}\), \(1.2~\text{m}\) diameter helicopter, with twin rotors in a counter-rotating co-axial configuration, will help validate aerodynamics, control, navigation and operations concepts for flight in the thin Martian atmosphere. The rover supports a radio link between the helicopter and mission operators on Earth, and information returned from a planned set of five flights, each lasting up to 90 seconds, will inform the development of new Mars helicopter designs for future missions. Such designs in the \(4~\text{kg}\text{--}30~\text{kg}\) range would have the capability to fly many kilometers daily and carry science payloads of \(1~\text{kg}\text{--}5~\text{kg}\). Small helicopters can be deployed as scouts for future rovers helping to select interesting science targets, determine optimal rover driving routes, and providing contextual high-vantage imagery. Larger craft can be operated in standalone fashion with a tailored complement of science instruments with direct-to-orbiter communication enabling wide-area operations. Other roles including working cooperatively with a central lander to provide area-wide sampling and science investigations. For future human exploration at Mars, helicopter can be employed to provide reconnaissance.

毅力漫游者的独创直升机

别出心裁直升机将从部署毅力罗孚的30溶胶实验活动流动站土地后不久,并接受委托。我们将介绍直升飞机及其将进行的相关技术演示实验,以及其在告知未来直升飞机前往火星的任务中的作用。这架直升机将首次展示飞机在火星环境中的自主控制飞行,从而为火星探索开辟了一个空中维度。的\(1.8〜\文本{公斤} \) \(1.2〜\文本{M} \)直径直升飞机,双转子在反向旋转的同轴配置中,将有助于验证在稀薄的火星大气中飞行的空气动力学,控制,导航和操作概念。流动站支持直升飞机与地球上的任务操作员之间的无线电链路,从计划的五次飞行中返回的信息(每次持续90秒)将为未来任务的新火星直升机设计开发提供信息。\(4〜\ text {kg} \ text {-} 30〜\ text {kg} \)范围内的此类设计将具有每天飞行多公里并承载\(1〜\ text { kg} \ text {-} 5〜\ text {kg} \)。小型直升机可以部署为未来漫游者的侦察兵,帮助他们选择有趣的科学目标,确定最佳的漫游者驾驶路线并提供相关的高优势图像。更大的飞行器可以与量身定制的科学仪器配合以直接方式与轨道通信,从而实现大范围操作,从而以独立的方式进行操作。其他角色包括与中央着陆器合作提供区域范围的采样和科学调查。为了将来在火星上进行人类探索,可以使用直升机进行侦察。
