NASA has planned to launch "Perseverance' this summer with a high risk, high reward helicopter on board to explore Mars. Researchers at Penn University have a more arduous plan to use a levitating fleet of 'nanocardboard' aircraft to cruise above Mars. Mars Helicopter is a single, complicated machine. Nanocardboard makes the aircraft more flexible and prevents cracking in harsh environments. It relies on the power of light.
