Nasa planning to send giant fixed-wing plane Maggie to Red Planet

By on January 22, 2024 0 23 Views

Nasa is considering sending a solar-powered aircraft, Mars Aerial and Ground Intelligent Explorer (Maggie), to Mars. Maggie will focus on the hunt for water, understanding Mars’ weak magnetic field, and the search for methane. Meanwhile, Nasa’s Ingenuity helicopter has completed 71 flights on Mars, surpassing all expectations. Maggie will fly 1,000 metres above the Red Planet.
