Why not model flying craft to scour Mars?
I was reading about 'micro-robot' plans for exploring Mars but thought what better than a small flying craft to relay images and sound from Martian
terrain? How fun would it be for the controller.......

The BAUT Forum has thought about it, too, a little, in topic Airborne Mars Reconnaissance Vehicles?.

the time delay would prevent a controller (on Earth) from controlling a flying machine. I think that a autonomous airship type balloon would be a good idea.

I thought that the Martian atmosphere was just too thin for such things to be practical. Didn't I read somewhere that almost 70% of the mass of the Martian atmosphere is within two feet of the surface?

Thanks for the links interesting how they chose the name 'ares'
http://marsairplane.larc.nasa.gov/science.html a bit confusing both having the same name........ June 30, 2006 — After months of unofficial, internal use, NASA formally announced names for its next generation of launch vehicles intended to take humans to the Moon, on to Mars and beyond. Project Ares (pronounced air-eez or ah-rays) includes the agency's crew launch vehicle, now referred to as Ares I, and the cargo launch vehicle, which will be called Ares V. http://collectspace.com/news/news-063006a.html
