NASA Mars helicopters

The Mars Sample Recovery Helicopters are 2 robotic unmanned helicopters. These helicopters are being made by the American company AeroVironment Inc.. They were thought of in March 2022. They would be used to take soil samples from Perseverance rover to the Sample Retrieval Lander (SRL). The Sample Retrieval Lander would take the soil to the Mars Ascent Vehicle (MAV). After that, the samples would be put into orbit over Mars. This would be part of the NASA-ESA Mars Sample Return program.^[5]^[6]
