Ingenuity perseveres. Our MarsHelicopter just flew its 50th flight on the Red Planet (out of a planned five), nearly two years after it first took to the Martian skies. This demo is giving a glimpse of the future of powered flight on other worlds.
The Mars Helicopter, Ingenuity, is a technology demonstration to test powered, controlled flight on another world for the first time. It hitched a ride to Mars on the
. Once the rover reached a suitable"airfield" location, it released Ingenuity to the surface so it could perform a series of test flights over a 30-Martian-day experimental window.first flight on April 19, 2021, Ingenuity took off, climbed to about 10 feet above the ground, hovered in the air briefly, completed a turn, and then landed. It was a major milestone: the very first powered, controlled flight in the extremely thin atmosphere of Mars, and, in fact, the first such flight in any world beyond Earth. After that, the helicopter successfully performed additional experimental flights of incrementally farther distance and greater altitude.
