Although endurance has attracted a lot of attention, it should be noted that the NASA rover did not begin its journey alone.

Immediately after landing the endurance, NASA's "genius" helicopter became the first aircraft to fly to another planet on April 30, 1400 , accompanying the endurance rover on NASA missions. NASA helicopters have flown 18 successful flights to Mars so far, and its flight number 19 was recently delayed due to unfavorable weather conditions.

With much better performance than expected, the genius has provided NASA with important data and experience on how to work with drones on another planet, which will be crucial to the agency's future reconnaissance mission, Dragonfly. In this mission, NASA intends to send its helicopter to the surface of Titan, the largest moon of the planet Saturn , in 2034
