Thanks to groundbreaking models and the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists are poised to explore their mysterious evolution and reveal clues about planetary formation across the galaxy.
Ingenuity marked a number of milestones in space exploration. Arguably most importantly, it proved that powered flight was possible on another planet. However, it did have some limitations, such as being tied to the Perseverance rover and there only being one copy of the helicopter itself. AV Inc, one of the sub-contractors for Ingenuity, hopes to fix those problems with a proposed new mission called Skyfall that would involve six helicopters and no rover.
