Good Penny Stocks to Watch?

Stock investment trade is one of the most unpredictable means of gambling money to make good profits. Knowing when to trade in is a skill which is developed over a period of time with increased experience. These experiences which involve developing a shrewd mind, to learn about penny stocks to watch out for, in the right time and make a good purchase or sale, will count for successful economic future in the long run. As a first-timer you will find it a little bit difficult to understand the rules of stock investment and how to go about playing with your cash. Everything takes time. The first spontaneous thing we do when we start with investments is to look at the stock price. Yes, this is natural with penny stocks to watch. But, we may not know what these prices indicate. Do they indicate they will rise or fall? Prices alone cannot predict the future of penny stocks. To know which penny stocks to watch, you have to first learn to read the trend of the past which led the company to release the penny stocks at this juncture at a certain trade volume. You have to know how much volume has been traded and how often have investors made profits. The relative average of times which penny stocks to watch would generally contain either a crash value or profit value. The graph will give you an idea if these stocks are to be trusted with and invested upon. The volume of stock trading speaks a lot about the popularity and steadiness of profits. The higher the volume of trade, the better it is for you to invest in. Some stocks may be released for about $2 or under. These may be traded in high volumes too. Before you decide on them, to be on the safer side, take a look at their past financial statements and balance sheets. The usual motto of an investment counselor is – ‘spread your money’. You should always look to purchase different volumes of stocks from different companies. When you open your mind to different penny stocks to watch by spreading your money, this increases the chances of profit, and simultaneously reduces the loss ratio. There are moments when you come across those stocks which in the guise of producing strong profits crash unexpectedly. Penny stocks to watch also involve with repeatedly investing a portion of your profits into increased volumes of shares. Keeping on with certain percentage of investments will help you gain experience and also at the same time bring you a general income to save up for any important expenses. Now that you have understood most of it, the basics of the game is to buy stocks when they are at their lowest price. Minimize the ratio of loss as much as possible. Based upon past trends of these stocks you will definitely feel a level of confidence whether you can invest in any of these penny stocks. Penny stocks to watch are those which have maintained a steady growth and brought good profits.

What We Learned from Flying a Helicopter on Mars

The Ingenuity Mars Helicopter made history – not only as the first aircraft to perform powered, controlled flight on another world – but also for exceeding expectations, pushing the limits, and setting the stage for future NASA aerial exploration of other worlds.

Built as a technology demonstration designed to perform up to five experimental test flights over 30 days, Ingenuity performed flight operations from the Martian surface for almost three years. The helicopter ended its mission on Jan. 25, 2024, after sustaining damage to its rotor blades during its 72nd flight.

So, what did we learn from this small but mighty helicopter?

We can fly rotorcraft in the thin atmosphere of other planets.

Ingenuity proved that powered, controlled flight is possible on other worlds when it took to the Martian skies for the first time on April 19, 2021.

Flying on planets like Mars is no easy feat: The Red Planet has a significantly lower gravity – one-third that of Earth’s – and an extremely thin atmosphere, with only 1% the pressure at the surface compared to our planet. This means there are relatively few air molecules with which Ingenuity’s two 4-foot-wide (1.2-meter-wide) rotor blades can interact to achieve flight.

Ingenuity performed several flights dedicated to understanding key aerodynamic effects and how they interact with the structure and control system of the helicopter, providing us with a treasure-trove of data on how aircraft fly in the Martian atmosphere.

Now, we can use this knowledge to directly improve performance and reduce risk on future planetary aerial vehicles.

NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter took this black-and-white photo while hovering over the Martian surface on April 19, 2021, during the first instance of powered, controlled flight on another planet. It used its navigation camera, which is mounted in its fuselage and pointed directly downward to track the ground during flight. The image shows the shadow of the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter on the surface of Mars. The black shadow of the helicopter is very crisp and clear against the white backdrop of the Martian sandy surface. Its wing-shaped rotors jut out from the sides of its square body, and from each corner is a thin leg that has a small ball shape at the end. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech

Creative solutions and “ingenuity” kept the helicopter flying longer than expected.

Over an extended mission that lasted for almost 1,000 Martian days (more than 33 times longer than originally planned), Ingenuity was upgraded with the ability to autonomously choose landing sites in treacherous terrain, dealt with a dead sensor, dusted itself off after dust storms, operated from 48 different airfields, performed three emergency landings, and survived a frigid Martian winter.

Fun fact: To keep costs low, the helicopter contained many off-the-shelf-commercial parts from the smartphone industry - parts that had never been tested in deep space. Those parts also surpassed expectations, proving durable throughout Ingenuity’s extended mission, and can inform future budget-conscious hardware solutions.

There is value in adding an aerial dimension to interplanetary surface missions.

Ingenuity traveled to Mars on the belly of the Perseverance rover, which served as the communications relay for Ingenuity and, therefore, was its constant companion. The helicopter also proved itself a helpful scout to the rover.

After its initial five flights in 2021, Ingenuity transitioned to an “operations demonstration,” serving as Perseverance’s eyes in the sky as it scouted science targets, potential rover routes, and inaccessible features, while also capturing stereo images for digital elevation maps.

Airborne assets like Ingenuity unlock a new dimension of exploration on Mars that we did not yet have – providing more pixels per meter of resolution for imaging than an orbiter and exploring locations a rover cannot reach.

Tech demos can pay off big time.

Ingenuity was flown as a technology demonstration payload on the Mars 2020 mission, and was a high risk, high reward, low-cost endeavor that paid off big. The data collected by the helicopter will be analyzed for years to come and will benefit future Mars and other planetary missions.

Just as the Sojourner rover led to the MER-class (Spirit and Opportunity) rovers, and the MSL-class (Curiosity and Perseverance) rovers, the team believes Ingenuity’s success will lead to future fleets of aircraft at Mars.

In general, NASA’s Technology Demonstration Missions test and advance new technologies, and then transition those capabilities to NASA missions, industry, and other government agencies. Chosen technologies are thoroughly ground- and flight-tested in relevant operating environments — reducing risks to future flight missions, gaining operational heritage and continuing NASA’s long history as a technological leader.

You can fall in love with robots on another planet.

Following in the tracks of beloved Martian rovers, the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter built up a worldwide fanbase. The Ingenuity team and public awaited every single flight with anticipation, awe, humor, and hope.
