    Ingenuity is such a cool little flying machine. Can’t wait to see more flying machines on Mars and also other places. I’m especially excited for the Dragonfly mission, a quadcopter on Titan would be incredible

      MSR is expected to have up to 2 Ingenuity class helicopters. Each will be equipped with small wheels on each landing leg (for driving up to sample tubes) and have a small robotic arm (to pick up sample tubes)
