On April 20, 2021 NASA’s Perseverance Rover sent images of Ingenuity Helicopter next day after historic flight on Mars. Helicopter is completely healthy and ready to reach new milestones. Within next couple weeks Ingenuity will make several flights. All software and equipment are in good condition. Weather on Mars is also quite eligible to make next flight of Mars Helicopter already next week. NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter took several shots while hovering over the Martian surface on April 19, 2021, during the first instance of powered, controlled flight on another planet. It used its navigation camera, which autonomously tracks the ground during flight. There are much more images to come.
