Right now the Perseverance rover and its little Ingenuity drone friend are living it up on Mars, having the time of their lives exploring the Red Planet.

We already know that drones are useful for investigating hard-to-reach areas of Earth, but they could also be essential for exploring other planets. Engineers at NASA's Langley research center are ...

The images show the historic first flight of the Ingenuity drone, recorded by the nearby ground-based Perseverance rover.

Drones would have to be able to fly autonomously, because there's a several-minute round trip between the time a command is issued on Earth and when it is received on Mars.

In addition to aiding unmanned missions, NASA sees such drones as acting as scouts for manned missions looking for suitable areas to erect habitats. The video below introduces the Mars concept drone.

The helicopter drone set to make the humankind's first flight on another planet has touched down on Mars, NASA said.

The drone initially landed on Mars inside the NASA rover "Perseverance" on February 18. Matt Keennon (left) and Ben Pipenberg (right) demonstrating how to fly "Terry," Ingenuity's earthbound twin.
