NASA plans massive solar electric plane for Mars mission

After successfully testing the functioning of the Ingenuity helicopter on Mars, NASA is aiming for something big and bold.
NASA has unveiled a one-of-a-kind futuristic concept for flying a “fixed-wing aircraft” above the Martian surface.
This concept, dubbed Mars Aerial and Ground Intelligent Explorer (MAGGIE), was recently announced under the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) Program.
“MAGGIE is a compact fixed-wing aircraft with ultra-high productivity efficiency powered by solar energy to fly in the Martian atmosphere,” mentioned NASA’s blog post.
This next-generation aircraft would be capable of doing global-scale atmospheric measurements on Mars, ushering in a new age of space technology.
