Is there an altitude equivalent to Earth for Mars? I assume that the Marโ€™s atmosphere Density is different than on Earth.

Hmmm. I have no idea how that might work though. In my dreaded school dayz, I loved math but hated physics. It always seemed like some kind of hijinks had to be involved . ๐Ÿ™ƒ

“The average surface pressure is only about 610 pascals (0.088 psi) which is less than 1% of the Earth’s value.”

I think it would be something like 100,000 feet.

Interesting situation what with gravity, atmosphere density (what is the gas composition there on Mars?) and dust (?)

How is the battery charged? Coupling/decoupling from a solar panel ground station?

Is it like a drone more than a helicopter/rotary wing aircraft . . .

What a job for the aeronautical designer/engineer!

Mars’ atmosphere density is nearly nonexistent compared to that of Earth.

Mars ==> .095 PSI

Earth ==> 14.7 PSI
