NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter has relayed some new imagery, acquired on July 14.
A black and white image was 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 color image was produced by Ingenuity’s high-resolution color camera mounted in the helicopter’s fuselage and pointed approximately 22 degrees below the horizon.
