Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
NASA will hold a virtual media briefing at 1:30 p.m. EDT (10:30 a.m. PDT) Tuesday, March 23, to discuss upcoming activities for the agency's Ingenuity Mars helicopter. The teams operating Ingenuity and NASA's Mars 2020 Perseverance rover have chosen the flight zone where the helicopter will attempt the first powered, controlled flights on another planet.
The briefing will air live on NASA Television, the NASA app, and the agency's websiteand will livestream on multiple agency social media platforms, including the YouTube and Facebook channels for NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California.
Briefing participants include:
- Lori Glaze, director of NASA's Planetary Science Division, #nasa Headquarters
- Bobby Braun, director for planetary science, JPL
- (Bob) Balaram, Ingenuity chief engineer, JPL
- Håvard Grip, Ingenuity chief pilot, JPL
- Farah Alibay, Perseverance integration lead for Ingenuity, JPL
To participate in the briefing by telephone, reporters must provide their name and affiliation by 11:30 a.m. EDT (8:30 a.m. PDT) Tuesday, March 23, to Rexana Vizza at rexana.v.vizza@jpl.nasa.gov.
Media and the public also may ask questions on social media during the briefing using #MarsHelicopter.
Ingenuity's #test flights are expected to begin no earlier than the first week of April. The exact timing of the first flight will remain fluid as engineers work out details on the timeline for deployments and vehicle positioning of Perseverance and Ingenuity. Photos showing some of the progress are available on Perseverance's raw images website.
Perseverance – with Ingenuity attached to its belly – landed in Jezero Crater Feb. 18. Ingenuity is a technology demonstration with a limited #test flight duration of up to 31 days (30 Mars days, or sols). The rover will deploy the helicopter and provide environmental monitoring and imaging support. It also hosts Ingenuity's base station, enabling communication with mission controllers on Earth.
