Engineers developed a unique fabric-based design for a ground-penetrating radar that will be a key instrument on NASA’s SkyFall Mars helicopters. The hardware will enable the SkyFall mission’s trio of planetary rotorcraft to use ground-penetrating radar to study the Martian subsurface.
Three autonomous helicopters of the SkyFall mission will fly low above the surface of the Red Planet, searching for, among other things, ice deposits hidden
