- iamcreasy 6y agoWow, please tell us more. What did they work on? Are those technologies ITAR restricted?
- whalesalad 6y agoskycrane :D
- mrfusion 6y agoIs it your siblings spouse or your spouses sibling?
- cdolan 6y agoCompany training tells me you are phishing
- doitLP 6y agoI’ll bet they worked with my friend who is the Deputy Surface Mission Manager for the rover. He gave us a little presentation of what he worked on, including the little helicopter that is attached to the underside of the rover. Veritasium did a cool video about it a couple years ago. [1] Kudos to everyone who worked on the project and got it launched during the pandemic! [1] https://youtu.be/GhsZUZmJvaM https://youtu.be/GhsZUZmJvaM
- IntemerateApe 6y agoThe helicopter is the thing I am MOST excited about!
- sathackr 6y agoSo everyone says the helicopter would be the first powered flight on another planet. Wouldn't the Skycrane be considered powered flight?
- simonh 6y agoI suppose you could qualify it as first powered flight using aerodynamic forces for lift. Or first powered flight of a probe, the sky crane isn't a scientific instrument.
