High five, Ingenuity! ✋
On May 7, our Ingenuity Mars Helicopter took flight for the fifth time. Seen here captured by one of the cameras aboard the Mars Perseverance rover, the helicopter was able to:
📶 Reach new record heights of 33 feet (10 meters)
🚁 Fly 424 feet (129 meters) to a new landing site
⏲️ Be airborne for a total of 108 seconds
✅ Make history as the helicopter’s first one-way trip
Well done to our tiny but mighty rotorcraft!
