After sending rovers and spacecraft on the Red Planet, American space agency NASA is now planning to fly a helicopter on planet Mars. The chopper that NASA is planning to fly on planet Mars would be very different from traditional helicopters as it would have to face the extreme conditions on the Red planet. The small Ingenuity helicopter will be transported to the Red Planet aboard the Mars 2020 spacecraft.
