NASA’s Mars helicopter recently aced its 43rd flight, one that turned out to be its longest in almost a year.
NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which is overseeing the current Mars mission, tweeted about the helicopter’s 43rd flight just a couple of days before the second anniversary of Perseverance and Ingenuity’s spectacular arrival on the red planet:The #MarsHelicopter traveled 1,280 ft across the Martian surface for 145.99 seconds at a max. altitude of 40 ft . https://t.co/1CXIWdYIAQ pic.twitter.
During its two years on Mars, Ingenuity has exceeded expectations, flying way more missions than originally planned, while also surviving a bitterly cold martian winter. A downward-facing camera on Ingenuity has been gathering images of the martian terrain, data that’s enabled the Perseverance team to plan the best routes for the ground-based rover as it continues to explore the planet for evidence of ancient microbial life.
