NASA’s “Perseverance” rover photographed the Ingenuity helicopter on Mars! “We’re closer than we’ve ever been” |
NASA’s Perseverance rover has been on Mars for almost 2 years. The Twitter account of the Perseverance team shared photos of the mini-helicopter Ingenuity flying on Mars.
The photos shared by the Perseverance team on Twitter read, “#MarsHelicopter and I are closer than we have been in a while. I saw someone resting on a sand dune between flights. Guess who it is. Do you believe in invention? Are you getting ready for flight 39?” published with description.
On January 11, Ingenuity completed its flyby of Mars 39, covering a distance of 140 meters in about 79 seconds. According to the flight log, the helicopter has been in the air for more than 64 minutes so far, flying a total of 7,830 meters on Mars.

Because the density of the atmosphere on Mars is about 1 percent that of Earth, NASA engineers used ultra-lightweight materials and four 123-centimeter propellers, each spinning faster than would be necessary on Earth, to lift Ingenuity off the ground. (AA)
