NASA’s Mars Helicopter continues to set a new record
Although it’s been a long time coming to Mars, the Ingenuity helicopter of NASA continues to set records with longer flights.
According to Engadget, NASA’s Ingenuity helicopter is still continuing to set records even though it’s been quite a while since it first took off from the sky. Mars. As CNET notes, the US space agency shared video of Ingenuity’s 25th most important flight on April 8, as it continues to break the records of previous flights, both in duration and speed.
The helicopter flew at 19.3 km/h for more than two minutes and 41 seconds, providing footage of the Red Planet’s rippling sands and rocks during its 704m journey. The footage has been sped up to reduce watch time to 35 seconds.
During the flight, the navigation camera turns off whenever Ingenuity descends within a meter of the Martian surface to prevent dust from interfering with the navigation system. The drone will fly as planned from JPL, but it also incorporates cameras, laser rangefinders and inertial measurement units to adapt to real-world conditions.
Ingenuity was preparing for its 29th flight after a brief incident in early May, when the mission team lost contact as the helicopter entered a low-power state. Even so, the space agency of America remains undaunted and the plane will continue to perform its mission in the near future.
