The Martian drone Ingenuity has already made history with 72 successful flights, surpassing its initial plan of five missions. However, scientists at NASA are not resting on their laurels. They have been working on a new drone project called Condor for many years, with the goal of conquering the Martian sky.
In the latest episode of the “Stick in Space” program, Arthur Chmielewski from the Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena talks about the mission plans for Condor. This drone is intended to conduct a full scientific exploration of the atmosphere of Mars. Scientists are asking themselves what the climate was like on the Red Planet in the past and what has caused the current thinness of the atmosphere. Condor is expected to help find answers to these questions.
The Condor mission will also be equipped with a range of scientific instruments that will allow for detailed studies of the atmosphere and conditions on Mars. Scientists hope that the drone will provide valuable information to better understand planetary climate and potential future colonization opportunities of Mars.
The program episode also addressed the “Ask our NASA person” series, where viewers can submit their questions. There is still an opportunity to ask questions, which will be discussed in future episodes.
The Condor mission promises to be incredibly exciting and full of scientific challenges. We eagerly await the results and discoveries that the NASA drone will bring.
