NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter at Jezero Crater has set its own milestone on September 16 – soaring to an altitude of roughly 60 feet (20 meters), chopping away at an earlier sky high record. Flight 59 image is from camera mounted in the helicopter’s fuselage and pointed directly downward to track the ground during flight.
