NASA is planning to launch a new helicopter to begin its next mission to Mars, the agency announced on its website on May 11.

The helicopter weighs just 1.8kg. It is being called the first “heavier-than-air vehicle” to fly on the planet.

To handle the planet's atmosphere, the helicopter is equipped with blades that rotate nearly 10 times faster than a typical helicopter at 3,000 revolutions per minute.

Scientists are planning a series of five test flights, the first of which is expected to take place in March 2020.
