NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter flew successfully late July 4th, completing its 9th and most challenging flight yet. The rotorcraft flew for 166.4 seconds at a speed of 5 meters per second.
The helicopter acquired a number of images using its high-resolution color camera. This camera is mounted in the helicopter’s fuselage and pointed approximately 22 degree below the horizon.
Imagery demonstrates Ingenuity’s scouting ability, working in tandem with the NASA Perseverance rover.
