>https://mars.nasa.gov/technology/helicopter/ This "thing" is named Ingenuity because some stupid kid had some parents with a dictionary, so they made the kid submit an essay as to why it should be named that.The little fucker is attached to Perseverance, specifically her underside, all folded up nice a neat. A spring loaded shield keeps Ingy covered up and cozy, and will stay that way until Percy finds a nice spot for release.
No one knows how long little Ingy will stay with mama Percy, but its probably going to be a good couple months. When the time comes and Percy gets tired of carrying the little propeller bastard, she will dump the spring loaded shield from under herself, drive forward a little bit away from the latest piece of garbage tossed on the ground, and shit out our beautiful little Ingenuity.
By this time, Ingy will have charged up her lithium ion batteries, and get nice and stretched out from being a goddamn parasite for so long. The plan is to do a quick 20-30 second hover "flight" within a month of being dumped off. Don't worry, Percy will hang around to watch Ingy and see what happens. She will have her own solar panel on her forehead to recharge.
Assuming the test hop/flight/whatever goes to plan, Ingy will then be able to try more complex maneuvers until she crashes or her batteries give out.
>Cue The Lion King "Circle of Life" SongNow, she isn't a big thing, but isn't too small either. She went on a diet before shipping off last year and only weighs about 4 pounds. On Mars, that's a scale busting 1.5 pounds. Watch out Victroias Secret models, you got some competition. Not that they would have the latest thong bikini in her size, but Ingys prop span is almost 4 feet wide! Can you believe it? My dick is almost that bi... oh wait, I said feet not inches, whoops. And with a 350 motor, shes a spunky little thing.
