The answer was the MC-12 Liberty, specially outfitted Hawker Beechcraft King Air 350 and King Air 350 ER aircraft designed to gather intelligence and report it back to controllers.

This is the kind of stuff dreams are made of. JPL and NASA have been reaching out far beyound the dreams of mankind and still yet, here on Earth, it is still the same old political crap.
In response to the LM Cargo unmanned helicopter, it's not the first unmanned Lockheed aircraft to be nominated for the NAA Collier Trophy. The Lockheed Martin FPASS "Desert Hawk" unmanned aircraft was nominated in 2003 by the Air Force, though it didn't win.
Very clever sending plutonium-238, nuclear power and lithium batteries to Mars.As they say don't S*&% in your own back yard.
While I agree that Felix Baumgartner's jump was a truly historic and important event in aerospace history, I think it is important to share with everyone that he has been well know within the skydiving and BASE jumping community for quite some time; for both positive and negative reasons. Not only has he pushed the envelope of human flight and accomplished many firsts, he has also put the use of many BASE sites in jeopardy and destroyed their ability to be enjoyed by both current and future generations of jumpers all in pursuit of his "celebrity" status.
For posterity's sake I would give the nod to the Voyager Interstellar Mission. Fascinating data today. And a million years hence those little ambassadors of humanity will still be venturing through the cosmos. Indeed, long after the Earth has been swallowed by the expanding sphere of our dying Sun, those craft will still be trundling through space.
