"Nasa's Next Mars Mission: Sending Giant Fixed-Wing Plane Maggie to Red Planet"
Nasa is considering sending a giant fixed-wing plane named Maggie to Mars, which will be a solar-powered aircraft designed to explore the planet's surface and conduct scientific investigations. The proposed aircraft, still in early development, aims to focus on finding signs of water, understanding the weak Mars magnetic field, and searching for methane signals. Meanwhile, Nasa's Ingenuity helicopter, the first aircraft to achieve powered, controlled flight on another planet, has exceeded expectations by completing 71 flights and covering 17km on Mars.
