AeroVironment’s new project slated to fly over Mars
Monrovia, California-based AeroVironment, which has built everything from a hummingbird-sized drone to high-flying solar aircraft, has built components for a new drone helicopter intended to fly much further afield: across the surface of Mars.
AV is working with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena to build the helicopter recently selected by the Mars Exploration Program, which is planned to fly across the Red Planet in less than three years.
“AeroVironment’s deep, rich and diverse history of innovation, combined with our experience with near-space aircraft like Pathfinder and Helios make us uniquely suited to collaborate with NASA and JPL on this historic, interplanetary venture,” says Wahid Nawabi, AeroVironment’s president and CEO.
From Unmanned Systems magazine: NASA plan to refuel satellites in space could lead to new industry
Satellites are expensive. They are expensive to develop, expensive to launch, and, should they run out of fuel, expensive because they are not designed to be refueled.
NASA wants to change that. The aerospace agency has been working for years on robotic technology that could refuel and relocate satellites, extending their services lives, cutting down on space junk and saving money in the process.
Eventually it could lead to more capable spacecraft and a new line of business for commercial space companies.
Inside the September 2017 issue of Unmanned Systems
The September 2017 issue of Unmanned Systems looks at Army plans for robotics, NASA plans to use robotics to refuel satellites in space, and how businesses, artists and others are using artificial intelligence to improve their products and services.
