Ingenuity’s flight on Mars is postponed after carrying out the final tests on the helicopter. It is ahead of planning.
Launching Space.com, the delay was due to anomalies during testing. To see the blades of a vehicle reaching speeds like flying 2,400 rounds per minute.
Cause Ingenuity’s Flight on Mars is Delayed
According to data from the Ingenuity Mars helicopter, NASA prefers to reschedule. This experimental flight is the first flight. It was previously scheduled for April 14th.
The high speed spin test of the rotor took place on Friday. As a result, the test control command sequence ends early. The reason is, the timer on the supervisor has expired. As a result, Ingenuity’s flight on Mars is postponed.
This incident started when switching flight computers. Initially using Pre-Flight mode, then switched Flight.

Helicopter condition is healthy and safe. Apart from that, it can also fully communicate telemetry to Earth.
Timekeeping supervisors have the task of overseeing the order of orders. It will then notify the system if a potential problem occurs.
This is very helpful in keeping the system safe. If there is a problem then it will not continue. Everything will work according to the original plan.
The research team continues to review telemetry. To understand and diagnose problems. The full speed test will get reschedule soon.
Flight Reschedule
The technicians from the helicopter are still reviewing the complete data. They worked hard to understand exactly what was going on.
Ingenuity’s flight on Mars is delayed. The teams hope to reschedule the failed test.
Helicopters arrive at the surface of the planet Mars on February 18. Then to the planet as a demonstration project. It is the size of a NASA car by the Perseverance explorer.
The explorers arrived at the landing site, the Jazero Crater. Then, start looking for an airport for that helicopter flight.
Upon arrival on the planet Mars, explorers carefully regulate the process. Then open up and deploy a 4-lb or 1.8 kilogram helicopter.

Helicopter Trial
Intelligence has to accomplish several goals. Including them having to survive on the planet Mars at night. Because the conditions at night are very cold.
To overcome this, the helicopter is equipped with energy support from solar panels. Ingenuity’s flight on Mars has been postponed for more preparation.
Apart from that, the teams have also opened the blades on the helicopter. They perform the test at low speed. Experiment only 50 rounds per minute.
On April 9, helicopter testing on blades. Then try to use full speed. Then, the flight ended not according to procedure. Because the monitoring time has been cut.
The supervisor’s timer has a sequence of commands. Then there is a system warning when an error occurs.
If there is a problem with the observation, then the test does not continue. Even though it worked according to plan. This is so that the system remains in a safe position.
Ingenuity Mars Helicopter Intelligence
The plane landed on Mars on February 18 with NASA’s Perseverance rover. Then the passenger is Ingenuity, the Mars Helicopter. Ingenuity’s flight on Mars is delayed due to test problems.
The specifications of this helicopter weigh about 4 pounds or 1.8 kilograms on Earth. Has a fuselage the size of a tissue box. This prospect dates back to six years ago.
Engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California have theoretically known the possibility of this helicopter to fly. How about flight in the thin atmosphere of Mars. But not sure if there are enough vehicles to fly and communicate. Moreover, it can survive independently.
The reason is, the weather on Mars is very extreme in mass. The team conducted a test of ingenuity in an actual Martian environment. After previously conducting test tests on Earth with an environment similar to Mars.
If it has passed the ingenuity test of the intense vibration of the launch then it will make another flight. Apart from that, the helicopter must also pass a health check.
The Mars helicopter is a demonstration of technology. A narrow-focused project to test its capabilities.
Light aircraft design design, much larger rotor blades and fast rotation. This is because the atmosphere on the planet Mars is very thin than Earth.
When conducting tests on Earth, the predicted temperature must show Ingenuity to function properly. So, Ingenuity’s flight on Mars was delayed first. (R10 / HR Online)
