Scientific paper

An autonomous flying robot with vertical take-off/landing capabilities in the Martian atmosphere, which uses the lifting force of a rotor, is described. The Martian rotorcraft is powered by solar cells placed on the upper side of the rotor blades. Preliminary calculations demonstrate the feasibility of an autonomous solar-powered helicopter for Mars exploration based on the existing level of technology. A mission profile for a solar-powered helicopter for Mars is presented.
