NASA's Ingenuity Helicopter Successfully Completes Two Flights on Mars
NASA’s Ingenuity helicopter has made history by completing its fourth successful flight on Mars, becoming the first aircraft to fly on another planet. On Wednesday, the miniature four-pound chopper flew to an altitude of 16 feet and stayed aloft for 39.1 seconds, covering a distance of 98 feet from its takeoff spot. This marks the longest and highest flight in the Martian atmosphere, a feat that could have implications for future space exploration.
