"ingenuity-mars-helicopter"

On January 18, Ingenuity executed its 72nd flight at the Red Planet.

Washington: The Ingenuity Mars helicopter’s black-and-white navigation camera has provided dramatic video of its record-breaking 25th flight. The flight, which took place on April 8, covered a distance of 704 metres at a speed of 5.5 metres per second. It was the Red Planet rotorcraft’s longest and fastest flight to date, NASA said in a […]

The US space agency, which is yet to declare a new date for the attempt, earlier rescheduled the flight after a test completed earlier than planned.

"During a high-speed spin test of the rotors on Friday, the command sequence controlling the test ended early due to a 'watchdog' timer expiration," NASA said

NASA expects the first test flight of the four-pound, four-blade rotorcraft to come "no earlier than the first week of April".
