Som ET - 51 - Mars - Perseverance Rover Watches Ingenuity Mars Helicopter's 54th Flight

NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover captured this video of the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter’s 54th flight on Aug. 3, 2023. After performing a preflight “wiggle check” with its rotors, the helicopter takes off, hovers at an altitude of 16 feet (5 meters), and rotates to the left, before touching back down. The mission conducted the short pop-up flight to check Ingenuity’s navigation system.

The video was captured by the rover’s Mastcam-Z imager from a distance of about 180 feet (55 meters).
