The Helicopter is also not operated in space, so radiation might be less of an issue. It's intended only as a flight demo anyway.

- yellowapple 6y agoThe Martian atmosphere and magnetosphere are both substantially worse at blocking radiation than those of Earth, so I'd imagine radiation would, at best, only be marginally less of an issue than, say, in interplanetary space.
- cacarr 6y agoIf memory serves, the radiation environment of the Martian surface is not too much worse than LEO. If so, radiation would probably not be that much an issue.
