Nasa to fly helicopter on Mars for the first time – BBC News

Published

on



A small helicopter, the size of a chihuahua, is set to be the first to fly on another planet.

Ingenuity is a 1.8kg (4lb) helicopter that travelled to Mars inside Nasa’s Perseverance rover, which landed in February 2021.

Nasa says it’s now aiming to test it on Monday 19 April but admits it may not be successful, in which case they’ll try again later in the week.

Flying on the Red Planet isn’t straightforward – as BBC science reporter Laura Foster and Nasa systems engineer Farah Alibay explain.

    We ask them to play a game, find a matching objects. It's like having a task, with a goal in the end. Like go and get me videos with flying blades and 10 centimeter Festo helicopters and I will reward you with anything I can. In this case I can give you social media views, which can be turned into money if you meet the criteria, but everything is not organized into a quest – players don't have a goal.

    Condolence for 13 persons died in helicopter crash ln Indiia .This Gen.Rawat helicopter accident is result of making, ZERO to HERO, recently India awarded medal to ABHI NANDHAN Who is Zero, lost his plane in fight against Pakistan on 27 02 2019, & BECAME POW, Then Indian Government received/welcome him in Shameful Manner as disgraced man , Then Confused Indian Government amazingly awarded him medal after two years to cover/hide their defeat at the hand of Pakistan Air Force on 27_02_2019 . After 27-02-2019 India never violated Pakistan Air Space. Gen. Rawat was responsible for this defeat and also responsible for losing their land & defeat at China border. Gen Rawat Helicopter Crash occured due to Indian Air force Piloti mistake, flying low & colliided with bird/tree & got fire. Medal to Abhi Nandhan. Is strong proof that Indian Army don't believe in merit therefore Indian Airforce history is full of Crashes.

    NASA, China and others should send drone carrier rockets into space.

    Countries and Universities around the world could sponsor the drones deployed from the carrier rockets.

    Many hands make short work. Many drones could make coordinated exploration and coordinated space projects.

    Each university could have a set of exploration drones that could be sublet to colleges, high schools

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.
