Need something in the pic to show the size. It is as big as a Mini Cooper. JPL has permission to use the images of the Mini Cooper to show comparisions. Photo is taken from drop/landing testing. Don't think they are calling it "skycrane" testing

JPL has permission to use the images of the Mini Cooper to show comparisions. But maybe they don't have permission to use the name "Skycrane" from Erickson who bought it from Sikorsky in 1992... Interestingly, Erickson prefers the name Aircrane for its line now... I don't care what it's named as long as it works! (Then I will call it "The Amazing Landing System.") -------------------- Lyford Rome
