Nasa to fly the first Mars helicopter in early April
A helicopter the size of a Chihuahua will explore Mars
The US space agency says it expects now to fly the first helicopter on Mars in early April.
The little chopper was carried to the Red Planet by the Perseverance rover, which made its dramatic landing in Jezero Crater just over a month ago.
Called Ingenuity, the 1.8kg, twin-rotor aircraft will attempt a series of short hops in Mars’ rarefied air.
If successful, it would represent something of a “Wright Brothers moment”, says Nasa.
