Abstract

The Aerially Deployed Jetpack Launched Mars Helicopter Chassis design project will provide JPL with a high-precision mass estimate for the proposed Mars Science Helicopter exploration rotorcraft. The rotorcraft structure is designed to withstand the loads associated with launch and flight operation. The rotorcraft mechanisms are designed to facilitate a complex mid-air landing procedure on Mars.
