So what you’re saying is, Elon Musk will probably have people on mars before NASA gets up there to retrieve samples and such?🤔
gotta love how NASA never announces their reasons for abandoning missions… this is the first time I'm hearing about it breaking it's blade.
future helicopters will have radar so they can detect the ground
Any ten year old with and rc rotor craft could have told you it was a bad design. A hover ball would have been awesome!
An amazing bit of kit. But I find it very disappointing that a reaction on an anomaly is to spin the blades over their design limit. That just seems wrong.
The helicopter is a triumph of engineering.
First and only bird on Mars choose Nertva Vallis for rest. Exactly how birds in Balkans stop in huge numbers on Neretva river during migrations. Two locations share the name and attitude. 😊
Interesting!
This little bug was the most super creation of mankind till now! RIP! But I think without "wings" he still transmit valuable informations!
Your title makes it sound like it failed it's entire mission, when it flew nearly 100 more flights than it was supposed to.
"as a matter of fact"
Should have coded a limit on the max rpm
Fail? HUH? It was only intended to last 20 missions. I call that a success!
Engineers don't over complicate the design!.simplicity!
It will take a year for you to say why the blades have broken too.
Martian child broke it
These are my favorite space videos.
No talking of stuff smashing into stuff and billions and millions of years.
Just cool tangible stuff really happening in space that we can see and understand and in some cases can partake in.
Mars is a star have a look at it through a telescope everyone.
I call bullshit. You say it was to go up for a 30 second flight. That means it would have only time enough to rise up about 10 feet and then land. It wouldn't have time to fly out of sight and go behind a hill and to then lose communication.
reminder to turn off automatic translate for the video titles because it sucks
Blades: "Made of carbon fiber and foam"
I know why it stopped working, and it didn't take me a year.
Damn the algorithm…full speed ahead….. Good idea, can't figure out what to do, get destructive m..
Has anyone from NASA opened a DJI Care request?
They are not on mars, didnt even go to the moon you people still believe this crap
I know I'm going to be OK, when I see that smile
How can you fix it and when?
NASA engineers don't seem to build a lot of "real world" things do they!😑
I think a bunch of rednecks could do a better job!
For example, why didn't the blades have a prop ring?
Considering where they were going and what they might have to endure, such a simple thing would not have increased the weight hardly at all while ensuring they were MUCH tougher and protected!
Hell, even our kids pull string whirly copters use to enclose the propeller in a ring!
Yeah it when to mars.
Why isn't there GPS SATs at mars yet?
How was there not a hardcoded limit to not spin the blades that fast? It's an absolute basic in programming.
1:20 "plan to fly only 5 times…"
classic strategy of setting tasks low, so if anything fails you can just say "within specs" and are not backlashed for failing. If it lasts longer (what is originally designed) you can proudly celebrate that
With all the data collected on the " helicopters" performance, future missions to planets and moons will be able to use so many more tools to collect so much more data. This mission was a monumental step in space exploration. IMO.
Next time bring spare blades and have the machine able to fix itself
IMO, lower prop struck the ground, causing at least one tip to crack and fold up, in turn, striking the counter rotating prop above it.
I base my theory from rough landing counter rotating RC helicopters. It just takes two seconds and the carnage is completed😅
becouse its not on mars 🤣😂🤣
It's a cover up. Remember this is NASA = never a straight answer
Maybe NASA shouldn't buy cheap ass parts from China! Your telling me we can't manufacture unbreakable blades! I'm certain we have exotic materials that can withstand the stresses! And it sounds like they didn't put a governor on the spindle so blade rotation can't exceed parameters!!😯😯😯😩😩😩👎👎👎
Sci-fi at it worse. How far away is mars?
So the sand grains are sharper on mars because of less water for the last millions of years?
