NASA’s intrepid Ingenuity helicopter on Mars made its 43rd flight on February 16th.
A selection of images from that flight shows the sky-high perspectives of the Jezero Crater, taken by the mini-chopper’s Navigation Camera mounted in the helicopter’s fuselage and pointed directly downward to track the ground during flight.
The aerial devices also acquired this image using its high-resolution color camera mounted in the helicopter’s fuselage and pointed approximately 22 degrees below the horizon.
