NASA’s little helicopter on Mars has logged its last flight
NASA’s diminutive Mars helicopter, Ingenuity, has completed its final flight, as announced by the space agency on Thursday.
Due to rotor blade damage, the 4-pound (1.8-kilogram) helicopter is unable to continue flying.
Despite maintaining an upright position and staying in contact with flight controllers, its $85 million mission has officially concluded.
Initially designed as a short-term technological demonstration, Ingenuity surpassed expectations by completing 72 flights over three years on Mars.
It accumulated over two hours of flight time, covering a distance of 11 miles (18 kilometers), more than 14 times the originally planned distance, the Associated Press reported.
