NASA’s Ingenuity helicopter just achieved ‘freedom in the sky’ in its third aerial adventure over Mars – Business Insider Australia
Sunday’s flight likely pushed the helicopter to its farthest distance yet: around 330 feet. Ingenuity has another two flights ahead.
NASA’s Ingenuity helicopter successfully executed its third flight over the surface of Mars on Sunday.
The helicopter made spaceflight history last Monday when it lifted off Mars and rose 3.05m above the planet’s surface. Never before had a spacecraft conducted a controlled, powered flight on another planet.
Then on Thursday, Ingenuity flew even higher – 4.88m – and moved sideways for the first time.
Sunday’s flight promised to be the helicopter’s most daring excursion yet.
