NASA's Ingenuity helicopter mission comes to an end after historic flights on Mars
NASA's Ingenuity helicopter mission has concluded after 72 historic flights on Mars. The mission, originally designed as an experiment, became the first aircraft to operate and fly on another world. However, damage to one or more of its rotor blades during its final flight has rendered it unable to fly. Ingenuity had exceeded expectations, flying 14 times farther and 33 times longer than planned. The helicopter served as an aerial scout for the Perseverance rover, capturing images of areas of scientific interest and helping determine the rover's next targets for analysis.
