The device managed to overcome a large distance in a particularly short time, proving the effectiveness of its technologies.
The first spacecraft, Ingenuity, set a new record on Mars. He covered a great distance in a short time. Space writes about it.
The helicopter made its 41st flight over the Red Planet at a distance of 183 meters in 109 seconds.
It is known that the departure became possible after the sandstorm subsided on Mars.
“This technology not only works, but is very effective, which opens the way for the development of new aircraft that will go not only to Mars, but also to other objects of the solar system in the future,” the say the scientists.
According to them, now Ingenuity is an indispensable assistant for the Perseverance rover. The device helps the ground vehicle detect new targets and avoid dangerous areas on the planet’s surface.
It can be recalled that Ingenuity made its first test flight on April 19, 2021, rising for 30 seconds by three meters. NASA has declared successful the first flight of an automated vehicle with a power plant on another planet.
