Europe considers a helicopter drone for future Mars missions
The European Space Agency is considering flying a technology demonstration helicopter drone on a future Mars mission.
Note that they don’t yet have the money to build this, and it appears that they don’t yet have a mission to fly it on. What they have done is just completed a preliminary study, which suggests the idea is feasible. They are now lobbying for more cash to move forward.
