Drones & business

Ingenuity, NASA’s Martian drone, has successfully completed its fifth flight that closes the drone’s pilot flight testing phase on Mars, and is expected to play an operational role in support of Perseverance.

The Martian flights of NASA’s Ingenuity drone continue, although the fourth flight initially scheduled for April 29, 2021 had to undergo a skid to April 30, 2021 at 12:33 p.m. local Martian time. But it was a success!

The use of drone swarms is known above all as a nocturnal choreographic element for events or on the occasion of holidays. A study by the University of Genoa hypothesizes its use as for firefighting.

Third take-off of Ingenuity on Mars – The drone has reached the distance of 50 meters from the starting point, with a speed of 7.2 km / h. All thanks to its sensors and its intelligent payload.

Ingenuity took off for the second time on Mars. Take-away and best practices from Ingenuity’s experience for all UAS-drone pilots.

Ingenuity has taken off! The NASA UAS-drone detached for 39.1 seconds from the Martian ground and hovered three meters above the ground for 30 seconds.

NASA solved Ingenuity’s rotor spin test issues with the pre-flight checklist. From the experience on the Martian drone-UAS we see the importance of the pre-flight check list for terrestrial UAS-drones.

April is definitely the month of Ingenuity, the Martian UAS-drone landed on Mars with the NASA Perseverance probe “landed” on the red planet on 18 February 2021 at 21:55 Italian time.

The Perseverance rover touched the ground of Mars at 9:55 pm Italian time on February 18, 2021. Under the rover there is a small helicopter drone called “Ingenuity” which will have the task of flying in reconnaissance on Mars.

In Scotland to greet 2021 instead of fireworks they used a swarm of drones. Let’s discover the business opportunities arising from the use of drone swarms.
