Since 2021, Ingenuity has been a trusted assistant to the Perseverance rover in exploring the surface of Mars.
NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter has successfully completed its 55th flight to the Red Planet. About that saying goodbye NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
It was noted that this time the helicopter flew 264 m in 143 seconds at a height of ten meters and took new pictures of the Red Planet.
It should be remembered that on the 54th flight, the device left on August 3 and spent 24 seconds in the air. The helicopter took off and then landed.
The fact is that during the 53rd flight, Ingenuity could not fully complete its mission and had to be put away immediately. To find out what happened, the scientists gave the command to the aircraft to make this “jump” in the air. Specialists from NASA found the cause of the breakdown and repaired it. Thus, the 55th flight was considered successful.
