New video footage from the viewpoint ofNASA’sPerseverance rover gives us a different perspective on the plucky chopper’s exploits.
Percy was in a good position towatch Ingenuity when it took offfor its13th flighton Sept. 4.
The flight lasted just over 160 seconds.
The space agency said it “stands out as one of Ingenuity’s most complicated.”
The rotorcraft lifts off and makes an aerial exploration of a region in the Jezero Crater named Seitah.
The rover’s Mastcam-Z – an instrument located on its “head” – delivered the fantastic footage.
Having a helicopter on Mars just doesn’t get old.
It’s been so successful that it’s easy to forget how experimental it is.
With Perseverance as a witness, we can marvel at Ingenuity’s staying power.
