The images were taken by engineers preparing for the Mars Sample Return mission, which will deliver regolith samples to Earth from the surface of Mars. The drone took pictures of the remains of the capsule on April 19, which made it possible to obtain valuable information necessary to carry out the planned mission. Roaming vehicles in the Martian atmosphere must stand up to the resistance of the thin atmosphere and high temperatures.

The drone rose to a height of 8 meters to photograph the remainsI flew 192 m and took ten pictures. The images were sent to the chariot of perseverance and through it to Earth.
