A 17-year old girl, Ms. Vaneeza Rupani, earned the honor to name NASA’s first helicopter that is designed to be the first powered flight on the “Red planet – Mars”. Her essay on “Name the Rover” essay contest was chosen from among 28000 entries!
Ingenuity – yes, you read it right! That is what the helicopter will be called, which is planned to launch later this year in August.
A pinch of curiosity, a dash of the thrill of dicovery and lots of perseverance – perfect recipe to achieve all your dreams!
