A vehicle that dazzles the world with surprises happening for the first time on Mars

The world will hear sounds on the Red Planet and a helicopter will fly over its atmosphere, and it may enter some of its caves and caves.

If things go as programmed, then Mars is promised a rare planetary mission visit, which will be carried out tomorrow, Thursday, by a vehicle launched by NASA on July 30th, and called Perseverance, which cost more than two billion and 700 million dollars with its mission, to study the geology of the planet, And looking for a trace of life that may have been in his distant past.
Its mission also includes carrying a small helicopter, which it will launch to fly in the planet's atmosphere when it lands on its surface after traveling 472 million kilometers in 203 days, that is, at a speed of 97 thousand kilometers per hour.

What is exciting about the mission of the vehicle carrying it with electronic chips containing the names of 10 million and 900 thousand people who asked NASA to send them to the planet via a link on its website is that a pair of cameras will photograph its entry into the airspace of Mars at a speed of 20 thousand kilometers per hour, according to what I read. Al Arabiya.net, "with its biography, in which it is stated that a 21-meter parachute will slow its descent speed, then reverse jets will secure its landing on its surface, according to what we see in a video produced by the US Space Agency as a simulation of what will happen in the mission of the vehicle, which will end after 678 days.

Another pair of microphones will allow a person to listen for the first time in history to the sounds of the vehicle entering the airspace of the neighbor closest to the Earth after the moon, in addition to the sounds of its landing and work on its surface, and also to hear the sounds of the wind and the gusts of the breeze at night and day, And what happens from the noise in the environment surrounding the vehicle, which is programmed to land on the crater of the most famous Martian crater, Jezero, with a diameter of 49 kilometers.

They believe that the crater was like a lake in an environment in which a kind of life might have sprouted 3 billion and 500 million years ago, according to what was reported 3 weeks ago in a press conference held by Professor Kenneth Farley, chief scientist in the program of the spacecraft known as Mars 2020 also, and he said that it is Equipped with highly advanced artificial intelligence technologies, it allows it to travel at a speed that is 3 times the speed of any spacecraft that had previously roamed on Mars, so it will accomplish its mission at a faster and more effective speed.
It is also equipped with a set of commercial cameras, high-resolution, to enable us to see ourselves for the first time on another planet, "as he put it.

Hope for some kind of "life fingerprint"
They chose "Jizero" for the landing of the spacecraft, because it is more promising than others in terms of the existence of life. In and around it, the US Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which has been circling since 2005 around Mars, found clay linked to its presence in water, according to what was reported by the NASA host website that the agency's scientists have evidence Enough to confirm that the "liquid of life" was present in it twice separately, and the hope is great that a "fingerprint of life" of some kind will be found, traces of which still remain in its sediments, so Perseverance will collect samples of its rocks and soil, to be transferred in 2031 through A joint campaign between "NASA" and the European Space Agency, in the first global effort to bring a sample of Mars to Earth.

As for the flashlight in what "Perseverance" will bring about in terms of surprises, even if at least a show, it is a small helicopter that the vehicle will launch to become the first man-made machine flying in the atmosphere of a planet other than Earth, according to what was mentioned in a previous report published by "Al Arabiya.net" last July .
Although it is small and weighs less than two kilograms, Ingenuity, or “creativity,” as the US space agency called it, is an unmanned drone, according to what appears in my simulated NASA video presented below.

The purpose of transporting the helicopter to the Red Planet is to experiment with flying in an atmosphere with a density of only 1% of the density of its counterpart on Earth, in addition to the possibility of using it to fly over hills, and perhaps enter it into caves and caves of Mars to see its interior, knowing that it is programmed to fly 3 minutes maximum Each time, at an altitude of no more than 10 meters above the area it reaches, "therefore, its flight will dazzle the world," according to the words of one of the "NASA" curators on the plane, which the US agency did not mention anything about its cost.
