Sky-Sailor

The Sky-Sailor is a concept for a robotic aircraft with embedded solar cells on its wings, developed by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich . It is hoped it will be able to search the Martian surface and even send pictures back to Earth. The reason the Sky-Sailor would have an advantage over other Martian rovers is because it can scan the Martian surface without touching it at any point, which removes many hazards and high energy costs.

The Sky-Sailor is a plane that contains solar cells on its wings, developed by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. It is believed to be able to search the Martian surface and even send pictures back to Earth. The reason why the Sky-Sailor will have a bigger advantage over other Martian rovers is because it can scale the Martian surface without touching it at any point, which removes many hazards and high energy costs.
