NASA develops a new Mars helicopter to expand exploration capabilities beyond current rovers.

NASA is developing a new Mars helicopter that could greatly enhance the planet's exploration. Larger than the previous Ingenuity model, this six-rotor design can carry up to 11 pounds of scientific equipment and travel up to 1.9 miles daily on Mars. It aims to explore areas unreachable by rovers and overcome navigation challenges faced by Ingenuity, potentially aiding future Mars missions and scientific studies.
