Drones Take on New Civilian and Military Roles

Drones Take on New Civilian and Military Roles Maxiphoto/iStock.com email Plus, an update on the military s flying cars. This week I thought I might have jinxed the Mars Ingenuity helicopter. In my last column, I wrote about how Ingenuity, and robots in general, often overperformed in their roles as space explorers, meaning that we may not need to risk the lives of human astronauts anytime soon. Ingenuity was designed to accomplish a single proof-of-concept mission to show that flight on Mars was possible. At the time of my previous column, it had already accomplished five flights, complete with full video accompanying each one, and was getting ready to assist the Perseverance Rover with Mars exploration.

Friday Funny: Childhood Dream to Be a Roller Coaster Engineer?

For nearly 150 years, being a roller coaster has been one of the greatest dreams in engineering. When I attend engineering trade shows or conferences, I ask people about their engineering jobs. One day a couple of years ago, a young engineer responded, “I design roller coasters.” Wow! I asked if that had been a childhood dream. He responded that it was the only job he ever wanted and he set out to make it happen by choosing the right schools and meeting the right people. I’ve had similar conversations with engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab and with engineers at NASA’s suppliers. Most recently I spoke with one of the engineers involved in the design and development of the Mars Ingenuity Helicopter. I asked if working on space vehicles was a childhood dream. His answer was similar to the roller coaster engineer: “It’s all I ever wanted to do.”

NASA Planning Sixth Flight of Mars Ingenuity Helicopter

NASA Planning Sixth Flight of Mars Ingenuity Helicopter VOA News published the following article: Officials with the U.S. space agency NASA say they are making plans for the sixth flight of the Mars Ingenuity helicopter, designed to stretch the craft’s capabilities and demonstrate how similar aircraft can support future missions to the planet. Officials with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) which designed and operates the craft, said the next mission will expand on progress made during its previous May 7 flight, its first one-way trip to a new landing site. Scientists said the sixth flight will also be the first of Ingenuity’s demonstration phase. During its first five flights, the Ingenuity team wanted to know if the aircraft would work as designed take off, fly, land and take pictures in the process. They also wanted to test its battery functions and performance in Mars’ extreme climate. In all cases, the scientists said it performed beyond expectations.
