NASA’s Perseverance spacecraft landed on the surface of Mars last year, and the parachute, which softly left the Perseverance spacecraft to the surface during the landing, crashed on the surface of Mars at a speed of about 125 kilometers. In a statement, NASA shared the image of the remains of the parachute on Mars, which is part of the Perseverance spacecraft.
While the remnants of the parachute are clearly visible in the images taken by the Ingenuity reconnaissance drone, which NASA uses for Mars exploration, the statement said that the parts of the parachute are intact. NASA notes that these shared images can help provide ideas for future missions to Mars.
Ingenuity’s discovery is considered important. Because the Ingenuity helicopter was a small, weak device with a 4-pound chassis and 4 tiny propellers, while the helicopter’s first flight was at a distance of about 3 meters. Afterwards, it is pointed out that Ingenuity, which made 27 more flights over 4 miles, made an important discovery with this new flight. It is thought that the drone will perform many more useful flights like this in the future.
