An imgur comment got me looking into how it can possibly fly in that atmosphere. The atmospheric pressure is similar to roughly 112,000’ of altitude on Earth. That’s very high up. Mars only has 38% of Earth’s gravity, though. Weighing 4 lbs on earth means 1.52 lbs on Mars. Still impressive that it works!
I also learned that it uses Sony VTC-4 batteries, which are 18650 and very common. They’re $5 each. I thought it’d have some sort of super fancy specialty batteries.
Super cool.
