Ingenuity may be the first of many Mars aerial vehicles. Rotorcraft increase the range and speed that can be traveled to locations of interest. This enables mission concepts previously considered not viable on Mars, such as missions performing science investigations in regions of high elevation, steep terrain, caves/lava tubes, and surveys of the lower atmosphere. Recent work done at NASA Ames Research Center and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) show that significant science can be performed by rotorcraft either independently or as assistants to rovers and landers. Small rotorcraft of Ingenuity’s general size can be potentially integrated into missions already scheduled for launch. Additionally, larger rotorcraft can support standalone novel mission concepts but are still be able to be sized and configured for deployment from heritage entry, descent, and landing (EDL) systems. One such mission concept of interest is to determine if organics are associated with clay-bearing or silica-rich soil. For such a mission, a small rotorcraft “robotic assistant” to a lander or rover could help determine if ancient sediment contains biosignatures in regions such as Mawrth Vallis. Ingenuity has demonstrated that rotorcraft can be developed relatively quickly and inexpensively and increase the types and amount of science that can be performed on any given mission. Recent research has suggested that rotorcraft of Ingenuity’s general size can have their performance characteristics significantly enhanced – increasing their range, speed, and payload capacity – by using new generation rotor blade airfoils optimized for Mars operating conditions. Rotorcraft could potentially be a standard adjunct to all future lander and rover missions. This paper presents an advanced Mars helicopter design that leverages significantly the design heritage of the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter Technology Demonstrator (MHTD).

The Virtual Super-Resolution Optics with Reconfigurable Swarms (VISORS) mission is a multi-CubeSat distributed telescope which will image the solar corona to investigate the existence of underlying energy release mechanisms. Such a task requires angular resolutions of less than 0.2 arc-seconds in extreme ultraviolet, which cannot be economically done with a conventional space telescope. Performing such a mission requires unprecedented relative navigation tolerances, a need for active collision avoidance, a development of intersatellite communication, and a propulsion system that enables the relative navigation maneuvers. The mission was initially conceived as a three 3U satellite formation in the NSF CubeSat Innovations Ideas Lab to address NSF science goals with innovative technologies. Once beginning conceptual subsystem design, it was evident that significant constraints linked to the three 3U satellite formation configuration limit the likelihood of mission success and increase mission risk. A trade study was conducted to determine potential resolutions to the problems associated with the initial three 3U satellite formation configuration. The completion of the trade study resulted in a major design change to a two 6U satellite configuration that resolved the issues associated with the initial configuration, improved mission success while reducing risk, and intends to incorporate novel CubeSat technologies, all of which enable the mission to move forward. This paper discusses the path that led the team to conduct the trade study, the design alternatives considered, and the innovative subsystem technologies that were conceived as a result of updating the satellite formation configuration.
