The American Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA reported interesting news – testing of the “twin” of the Perseverance rover has begun on Earth. The full-scale engineering model of the Perseverance is named Optimism, derived from the Operational Perseverance Twin. On it, scientists will conduct a series of “tough” tests to assess the risk of potential […]

Perseverance rover sends stunning photos from Mars after forced hiatus
The US Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA has released the first photographs sent by the Perseverance rover after a forced hiatus. We will remind, NASA announced the termination of communication with spacecraft exploring Mars at the end of September. The reason for this forced step is the so-called “conjunction” – the Earth and Mars are […]
“Survived an anomaly.” Ingenuity drone crashes on Mars flight
The NASA Ingenuity reconnaissance helicopter experienced an anomaly during the sixth flight to Mars – a failure of the navigation system. This is reported by NASA Science. It was planned that Ingenuity will rise to a height of 10 meters, fly 150 meters southwest at a speed of 4 m / s, then, taking […]
Perseverance captures the night sky over Mars and its satellite Phobos: photo
The Perseverance rover has sent another photo from the Red Planet to Earth. This time, the sight of his lens hit the night starry sky, on the right of which, presumably, one of the satellites of Mars, Phobos, is visible. The snapshot was posted on Twitter on the NASA mission bot page. Subscribe to LIGA.net […]
They wanted to send the Martian helicopter on a record voyage, but it did not take off. The reason is named
On April 29, the Ingenuity mini-helicopter did not complete its planned fourth flight at Jezero Crater on Mars. This was announced by a mission operator at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. They write that the problem identified earlier is that every time the helicopter tries to take off, with a 15% probability, the watchdog timer […]
NASA Drone In Flight Filmed The Perseverance Rover: It Is Not Easy To See It – Photo
The Ingenuity drone on Mars has photographed the Perseverance rover in flight. This is reported on Twitter by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The shot was reportedly taken when Ingenuity was at a height of five meters and a distance of approximately 85 meters from the rover. NASA suggests checking if you can find Perseverance […]
Martian Helicopter Flew Out Of Frame: Video
On April 25, at 11:31 am Kiev time, the Ingenuity mini-helicopter made the third ever flight in the atmosphere of Mars, this time with an impressive lateral movement, and not just ascent / landing with minimal lateral movement. Ingenuity’s two previous flights – 39 and 52 seconds – took place on April 19 and […]
Colonization Of Mars Is Getting Closer: Oxygen Was Produced For The First Time On The Red Planet
On April 20, an experimental instrument aboard the Perseverance rover successfully produced oxygen on Mars. This was announced by the NASA subsite dedicated to the Mars 2020 mission. The MOXIE (Mars Oxygen In-situ Resource Utilization Experiment) instrument at 800 ° C separates oxygen atoms from carbon dioxide molecules, releasing a by-product, carbon monoxide, into […]
In The Photo Of Perseverance From Mars, We Saw A “rainbow”. NASA Explained That It Really Is
Many people thought that there were rainbows on Mars when they saw a photo of the Perseverance rover. However, in reality, this is not the case, explain the employees of NASA in the official twitter of the rover. “Many have asked: is it a rainbow on Mars? No. Rainbows are impossible here,” the message […]
Mission Perseverance. NASA’s Ingenuity helicopter takes its first photo on Mars
NASA’s Ingenuity helicopter, which was on Mars with the Perseverance rover, took its first photo on the red planet. This is reported on the NASA Science Mars Exploration Program website. As noted, the picture was taken on April 3, when the helicopter was under the rover and was preparing to descend to the surface. […]
