17-year-old Indian-origin-girl, Vaneeza Rupani named NASA's First Mars Helicopter. Rupani, a high school junior from Northport, Alabama, earned the honour of naming the helicopter after she submitted her essay into NASA's "Name the Rover" contest. Rupani's entry was among 28,000 essays submitted by students from every US state. And now, NASA's Mars Helicopter has been officially named: Ingenuity, as suggested by Rupani.
