Since the atmospheric conditions and gravitational field are different for Mars and Earth, the operating flight environments are different, and necessitate Earth-based appropriate modeling, analysis, and simulation for Mars flight vehicles. This paper compares a hexacopter’s flight dynamics in the two environments. The analysis is necessary to determine if a dynamically matched surrogate hexacopter can be designed to conduct reliable testing on Earth, with the goal of successfully operation on Mars. To answer the question, the comprehensive tool FLIGHTLAB® is used to model the hexacopter flight dynamics. Frequency responses in heave, pitch, roll, and yaw rates of the hexacopter in hover are analyzed. The simulation result shows that each attitude response of the designed hexacopter responds very differently in the two environments. The closed-loop response of the hexacopter can be made stable on Earth but not on Mars. Therefore, the proportional feedback technique cannot be utilized to stabilize all four responses altogether. Due to the dynamics of the model being very different in each atmosphere, it is yet not feasible to create a dynamically matched surrogate helicopter that can operate in both environments.
