NASA announced that due to the damage of one of the carbon fiber rotor blades of the Nabogh helicopter that happened during the landing on January 18, this helicopter will no longer be able to fly.
According to Tekna technology and technology news service, after 3 years of operation on the red planet, Nabogh helicopter has made its last flight on Mars. NASA announced last week that support broadcast communication was lost after 72 flights of the Ingenuity helicopter, and after many efforts it was possible to contact the helicopter again. Finally, it was found that one of the carbon fiber rotor blades was damaged in the last flight of the genius and now this helicopter will no longer be able to fly.
Since its inception, Nabogh Helicopter has been able to perform much better than what was planned. NASA had planned this helicopter to make 5 test flights and for a period of 30 days, but the genius was able to fly on Mars for more than 3 years. Also, this helicopter flew more than 14 times the planned distance and its flight time was estimated to be more than 2 hours.
In his statement about saying goodbye to Genius, NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said: Genius' historic journey as a helicopter on another planet has now ended, and this helicopter has been able to fly much further and farther than we imagined. The flight of this helicopter was able to help NASA to make the impossible possible. The mission will also pave the way for future flights in the solar system and safe human exploration on Mars and beyond.
