world view of mars as its rover, called perseverance, made it to the surface. safely on the surface of mars. we cannot test it on earth. this is the first time we have had a chance, as engineers, to actually see what we designed. it is hard for me to expressjust how emotional it was and just how exciting it was. this mission is all about finding signs of ancient life, but new tech is being tested, too. this is footage of a mini mars helicopter making the first powered flight on another planet. helicopters can cover more ground, can act as scout vehicles, can go into different areas the rover can t go to and then they can do coordinated data, future manned missions to mars can utilise a drone helicopter. so there is a lot of opportunity. back on earth, in february,
