"NASA and LEGO Team Up for Perseverance and Ingenuity LEGO Models"
NASA and LEGO have collaborated to create one-tenth-scale LEGO Technic models of the Perseverance rover and Ingenuity helicopter, aiming to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers. The partnership demonstrates NASA's commitment to working with the private sector to share ideas and technical expertise. LEGO figures have been sent to space before, and the new LEGO sets join a rich history of space-themed LEGO designs. Perseverance and Ingenuity have been instrumental in providing insights into ancient Mars, with the rover collecting samples and the helicopter completing 51 flights on the Red Planet.
