ingenuity it first flew two months later in April 2021 and was initially tasked with just a few test flights to demonstrate its groundbreaking technology. However, after exceeding expectations POTthe mission has been expanded to serve as a Perseverance scout looking for signs of ancient life in Mars and collect samples for their future return to Earth.
