Nasa video captures helicopter flying on Mars marking milestone for Red Planet exploration
Nasa has shared imagery of a recent flight over Mars in which their rotorcraft flew farther and faster than ever before.
The Ingenuity Mars Helicopter’s black-and-white navigation camera provided video of its 25th flight, which took place on 18 April.
Covering a distance of 2,310 feet (704 meters) at a speed of 12 mph (5.5 meters per second), it was the Red Planet rotorcraft’s longest and fastest flight to date.
It first flies over a group of sand ripples and rock fields, before a relatively flat and featureless terrain appears below, providing a good landing spot.
