NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter Transitions Into Stationary Testbed

On April 16th NASA announced the formal end to Ingenuity’s days as the first ever Martian helicopter, following its 72nd and final flight mission in January. This flight ended with a rough la…

EDIT: The images are aimed at the direction of #Ingenuity, i.e. 319°, albeit a little to the south of it.

NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter Completes 50th Flight

While NASA’s Perseverance rover brought an array of impressive scientific equipment to the surface of Mars, certainly its most famous payload is the stowaway helicopter Ingenuity. Despite bei…

Our #MarsHelicopter continues to set records, flying faster and farther. The space chopper is demonstrating critical capabilities that could enable the addition of an aerial dimension to future missions to Mars & beyond. http://go.nasa.gov/ingenuity

Mars Helicopter

The Mars Helicopter is a technology demonstration to test powered flight on another planet for the first time.

With two flights down, the #MarsHelicopter is ready to get sporty. Flight #3 planned for this Sunday, and it’ll even stretch my ability to capture it in frame. Looking forward to this.

We Are Prepping for Ingenuity's Third Flight Test

Yesterday I got to write the entry for the second successful experimental flight test from "Wright Brothers Field" in the project’s official logbook, which is called "The Nominal Pilot’s Logbook for Planets and Moons."

#MarsHelicopter Flight #2 is in the books! I’ve captured its higher, bolder flight, and I’ll be sending back all my latest frames soon. Meanwhile, here's a quick preview, including takeoff and two turns.

Getting comfy with my cameras and bringing my subject into sharp focus. Of course, getting the shot is always easier when your subject nails their mark. Here are zoomed-in views of the #MarsHelicopter's takeoff and landing on flight #1.

The #MarsHelicopter is going bigger and bolder for its second flight. I’m ready to get more photos and video.

The #MarsHelicopter isn’t the only technology demo I brought to Mars. I’ve also got “MOXIE”– an instrument that will test converting carbon dioxide into oxygen. It could pave the way for future human explorers. http://go.nasa.gov/3cdMF3X
