    Isn’t it because Mars have an atmosphere?

    Still think we can pull anything off if we want to. Also the Indian lander did its job and it wasn’t expected that it would last longer IIRC.

      Mars does indeed have an atmosphere, which would be a requirement to generate lift with the propeller blades.

      My point is that delivering something as delicate as a helicopter drone intact and functional on another planet is rather impressive, as far as space exploration goes.
