LEGO® NASA Mars Helicopter Ingenuity

30 June 2021

Mars is still almost unreachable for all of us. But luckily, with LEGO® you can discover and build your own Mars. The LEGO® NASA Mars Helicopter Ingenuity MOC, designed by Stephen Pakbaz, lets you land on the red planet in your own living room. Thanks to the building instructions and parts list, you can easily build it yourself.

LEGO® NASA Mars Helicopter Ingenuity Building Instructions

On April 19, 2021, the NASA Mars Helicopter Ingenuity successfully landed on Mars. It was thus the first motorised vehicle to complete a controlled flight on another planet. The helicopter was thus part of a major milestone for NASA.

The LEGO® NASA Mars Helicopter Ingenuity was designed and built by a NASA engineer, just like the real thing. Stephen Pakbaz is the designer of the LEGO® version and this is not his first Mars vehicle that he converted into LEGO®. He has done so before with the NASA Curiosity Rover, which has been exploring Mars since 2012. He also managed to make this an official LEGO® set: something he also wants to achieve with the NASA Mars Helicopter Ingenuity. Until then, you can build the helicopter with the parts list and building instructions that you can find in this article.
