A fundamentally new space technology - a space helicopter. The note.
In miniature "[MDCCCLXXXVIII.] Donald Trump with glory enters the world history. An essay' (December 8, 2020) we wrote:
'... However, even if we do not talk about the achievements of Donald Trump in the spheres of politics and economics (and in other areas), and do not evaluate them now, then the achievements in the field of space and space technology alone make Donald Trump's presidency historic.
It was during the leadership of Donald Trump that the United States became the undisputed leader in the space sector!"
In this regard, it is useful to briefly familiarize yourself with the history of the creation of the world's first space helicopter Ingenuity, who is taking part in the mission to Mars, organized by NASA.
(FEB 18, 23:57 Updated Feb 19, 00:01. NEW YORK, February 18 [2021]. / TASS /. American Mars rover Perseverance ("Perseverance") successfully landed on the Red Planet. - https: // tass .ru / kosmos / 10737107) [unofficial translation]
"The helicopter is attached to the underside of the Perseverance rover, which landed on 18 February 2021, and should be deployed to the surface between 60 and 90 Martian days (sols) after the landing, or between 19 April and 19 May 2021."
The project was carried out along the shortest path.
'NASA's JPL and AeroVironment published the conceptual design in 2014 for a scout helicopter to accompany a rover. By mid 2016, US$15 million was being requested to keep development of the helicopter on track. By December 2017, engineering models of the vehicle had been tested in a simulated Martian atmosphere and models were undergoing testing in the Arctic, but its inclusion in the mission had not yet been approved nor funded. The United States federal budget, announced in March 2018, provided US$23 million for the helicopter for one year and it was announced on 11 May 2018 that the helicopter could be developed and tested in time to be included in the Mars 2020 mission" " MiMi Aung is the project lead' (Wikipedia).
(Recall that Donald Trump served as the 45th President of the United States from January 20, 2017 to January 20, 2021.)
So, in the shortest possible time, a fundamentally new space device was created - the world's first aerial vehicle capable of flying on Mars - a helicopter, which is supposed to make the first ever flight in the atmosphere of Mars.
A new space age has begun - when Russia, although she remains on the list of space powers, is no longer an effective competitor in the development of the latest space technology.
