AeroVironment发布“Skyfall”火星任务概念，部署六架侦察直升机
摘要
AeroVironment与NASA喷气推进实验室联合推出了新的火星探测概念“Skyfall”，该方案将从进入舱释放六架自主侦察直升机，以勘察未来载人任务的潜在着陆点。
AeroVironment与NASA喷气推进实验室合作，宣布了一项名为“Skyfall”的火星探测新概念。该方案计划在进入舱穿越火星大气层下降过程中释放六架侦察直升机，旨在勘察未来载人任务的候选着陆点。
据AeroVironment介绍，Skyfall系统旨在通过取消传统着陆平台，降低任务成本和复杂性。每架直升机将独立运行，拍摄高分辨率地表图像并收集雷达数据，以帮助识别含水、冰及其他对人类探测至关重要的资源区域。
Skyfall概念基于Ingenuity火星直升机的成功，该直升机在杰泽罗陨石坑完成了72次飞行，并于2021年4月实现了人类首次在其他星球上的动力飞行。AeroVironment空间业务负责人William Pomerantz表示：“凭借六架直升机，Skyfall提供了一种低成本方案，大幅扩大了我们的覆盖范围、数据收集量和科学研究深度——让人类首次踏上火星的步伐更为接近。”
AeroVironment已开始内部投资，并正与NASA喷气推进实验室协调，计划于2028年可能发射Skyfall任务。

✓
Confirmed
AeroVironment, in collaboration with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, has announced a new Mars exploration concept called 'Skyfall.'
✓
Confirmed
The proposal involves deploying six scout helicopters from an entry capsule as it descends through the Martian atmosphere, aiming to survey candidate landing sites for future crewed missions.
✓
Confirmed
According to AeroVironment, the Skyfall system is designed to reduce mission costs and complexity by eliminating the need for a traditional landing platform.
✓
Confirmed
Each helicopter would operate independently, capturing high-resolution surface images and collecting radar data to help identify areas with water, ice, and other resources vital for human exploration.
✓
Confirmed
The Skyfall concept builds on the success of the Ingenuity Mars helicopter, which completed 72 flights in Jezero Crater and achieved the first powered flight on another planet in April 2021.
✓
Confirmed
William Pomerantz, AeroVironment's head of space ventures, said, 'With six helicopters, Skyfall offers a low-cost solution that multiplies the range we would cover, the data we would collect, and the scientific research we would conduct – making humanity's first footprints on Mars meaningfully closer.'
